The Exiled Prophet, Part 2: Life in Babylon (Daniel 1)
Continuing with our Bible Study series, The Exiled Prophet, we look at Daniel 1. In the opening chapter we already see Daniel’s wisdom during his early life in Babylon and how he is an example even to us today as we live in a world hostile to the Torah.
In this portion of our Bible study on the exiled prophet, Daniel, we explore Daniel 6 where Darius the Mede has taken over Babylon. We find out how the Father preserves Daniel’s life, even from the mouths of lions, because he is faith
In the final chapter of Daniel, the prophet receives a vision of the end times. Daniel 12 promises that those who sleep in the dust will awaken—some to everlasting life and others to shame and contempt. The wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like stars forever. This teaching explores the historical context of Daniel’s visions, encourages faithfulness in times of distress, and offers hope in the promise of resurrection and everlasting reward.
The exiled prophet, Daniel, encountered many things during his lifetime in Babylon as the king’s advisor. In Daniel 4 he called upon to interpret the meaning of a felled tree. What can we learn in this bible study from the mysterious dream the king had?
In Part 6 of the Exiled Prophet series, we study Daniel 5 and the writing on the wall. We learn about Belshazzar’s pride, the fall of Babylon, and God’s sovereignty over kingdoms.
