 +There'​s an interesting pattern in some cases where the meaning is not made clear to the leaders of the nations. ​ The instances we have recorded are ones where prophets are present to interpret them for them.  There may be cases where the meaning is not hidden, if there are no prophets with the gift of translation.
 +
