For hundreds of years, a descendant of David had been on the throne in Jerusalem—well, besides one imposter queen (2 Ki 11:1–3). In 605 B.C., the dynasty was in its twilight years. Nebuchadnezzar successfully besieges Jerusalem and carries off some of the treasure from the temple of God to Babylon. But that’s not all he takes. Nebuchadnezzar also c...
Not just any royal kid gets to go to Babylon: only the handsome ones. Nebuchadnezzar’s criteria for serving in his court includes physical appearance (Da 1:4). Daniel makes the grade.
You have to be a looker and a thinker to make it in the palace. All the captives need to be able to pass a three-year course in Babylonian language and literature, but Daniel and his friends are found to be 10 times wiser than all the experienced magicians and enchanters in the whole kingdom (Da 1:20). Daniel’s wisdom makes him a legend in his own ...
There are several dreams in the Bible, and many of them seem to be straightforward instructions from God. But other dreams use bizarre symbolism to communicate something to the dreamer. When someone gets a weird dream like this, there are a few ways they can interpret it: 1. Figure it out themselves 2. Get someone in the dreamto explain it 3. Ask s...
Don’t mistake Daniel as some conjurer of cheap tricks. He’s not just a wise dream interpreter. He’s characterized by his unwavering faithfulness to the Law of Moses. Daniel chooses not to defile himself with the King’s food upon his arrival in Babylon—the food would have rendered him ceremonially unclean according to the Torah (Da 1:8). And toward ...
Abraham had his Hagar incident. Moses struck the rock and was banned from Canaan. David committed adultery and murder. And those other two sterling examples of righteousness, Noah and Job? Noah got drunk and naked (Gen 9:21). Even Job repented because of how he spoke about God (Job 38:2; 42:1–6). But Daniel? We have nothing on Daniel. In fact, when...
Daniel is made the chief prefect of the wise men in Babylon after interpreting Nebuchadnezzar’s first dream (Da 2:48; 4:9, 5:11). How crazy is that? Daniel is placed in a position to oversee the people who relied on other gods to enlighten them. But this brings up an interesting aspect of Daniel that often gets overlooked. As far as these magicians...
Daniel is made an officer in Babylon by four kings: 1. Nebuchadnezzar, after Daniel interprets his dream (2:48) 2. Belshazzar, after Daniel reads the original “handwriting on the wall” (5:29) 3. Darius the Mede, because Daniel had an “extraordinary spirit” (Da 6:1–3) 4. Cyrus the Persian, for reasons unknown … but the guy had a great résumé by then...
The name “Daniel” means “[the Jewish] God has judged.” But the Babylonians give him a new name: “Belteshazzar.” This new name means “Bel protect him,” with Bel being the name of a Babylonian god (4:8).
Daniel is captured as a young man in Nebuchadnezzar’s first siege of Jerusalem, and he lives in Babylon right into the reign of Cyrus the Persian. This is the same Cyrus who decrees that the Israelite exiles may return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple that Nebuchadnezzar destroyed (Ezra 1:1–4). That’s a long time, and so it probably makes sense ...

Jun 5, 2024 · The prophet Daniel served God during a chaotic period in Israelite history. What kept him alive, and can his story teach us anything about surviving and thriving during dark times?
Ironically, he can’t understand it until an angelic messenger explains it to him. Daniel sees a series of four beasts. Three of them are like a lion, a bear, and a winged leopard, and each symbolizes arrogant kingdoms. The last creature is a monstrosity, identified as a terribly evil empire.
Jan 1, 2008 · In explanation of how Daniel and his companions found the way to Babylon, Daniel records that the king “spake unto Ashpenaz,” better translated “told” or “commanded,” to bring some of the children of Israel to Babylon for training to be servants of the king.
