Daniel Interprets King Nebuchadnezzar 's Mysterious Dream

Consequently it is fair to say that to the Jewish people of Jesus’ time the term ‘Kingdom of God’ was interpreted as a time when God’s rule would be restored through a descendant of David and things would be good again. Macquarrie sums their view precisely when he states, “The coming of the Kingdom would mean the judgement of the existing order, the overthrow of all evil and demonic powers and a new order in which God’s perfect reign would be manifested.”

Recently, in my high school class the teens and I went through a study of the first six chapters of Daniel. As often happens when studying a Biblical character we began to feel as though we knew Daniel personally. Through the text we were able to sympathize with his struggles, admiring his character, and marvel at his ability to serve God no matter the political environment. Whether the king said, “Truly, your God is God of gods,” or the king considered himself to be the god Daniel’s work did not change. Of course, he lived in a sinful world and worked for pagan kings. However, Daniel never bent when it came to serving our God.

Have you ever read any books about a event in life that changed a certain part of the world. The Holocaust was a important event in life,and Daniel’s story was a book that explained someone's life during the Holocaust. I think this book should be used in 6th grade and up. If kids read Daniel’s story now,they would have a better understanding of what happened in the past.Maybe if I tell you some of the horrible things that happened that kids should know now, maybe you would want your kids reading Daniel’s story by Carol Matas to learn from the past.

When you think about all of this, you realize that it points to God in multiple ways. First of all, performing open heart surgery points to God. When you learn to do something great for others, God is pleased. And second, allowing African Americans into hospitals points to God. God made all people equal, and looking down on a particular race is wrong. Daniel helped stop that wrong. So Christian or not, Daniel’s actions pointed to

The book of Daniel and the Revelation are counterparts of each other. They should be studied together as to get the whole picture of God’s redemptive plan, world’s history, the future of the world, God’s victory over evil at the end of the world, and a glimpse into the new heaven and the new earth. Even if these two books are different, many parts of the books talk about the same event of world’s history in which we are about to find out. In this essay, I will show how the book of Daniel is related to Revelation and then how John uses the imagery of Daniel. First of all, let us look at the introduction to the books of Daniel and Revelation. I will

The book of Daniel is known for its prophecies that span the centuries and show amazing accuracy. In this article, we see the biographical chapters also have an application to "latter days" and end-times. The obvious is Obamacare from Daniel 1, but all of the first five chapters can fit what's been happening under Obama.

“8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your[c] food and drink. Why should he see people looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”” (Daniel 1:8-10)

The passage of Scripture being discussed in the following paper is Daniel 7:1-14. This chapter consists of three literary sections, first, chaos by the sea (7:1-8) followed by the heavenly courtroom (7:9-14), concluding with the visions divine victory and interpretation (7:15-28) which will not be addressed in this paper. The Christian canon locates the book of Daniel within its prophetic writings, however, the Jewish canon includes it within, “the Writings.” The book of Daniel doesn’t necessarily fit in either category, as it is widely considered within the literary category of apocalyptic literature which the subsequent sections of this paper will explore further. Daniel can be divided into three sections, based on language: a Hebrew introduction (Ch. 1); an Aramaic section (Ch. 2-7); and a Hebrew section (Ch. 8-12). Within these three language divisions exist two literary sections, first, the Tales (Ch. 1-6) followed by the Visions (Ch. 7-12). These two sections, though existing within the language divisions appear to have no corresponding connection.

and who is the shepherd that can stand before me? 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them. 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the

The Book of Daniel is the only full-blown apocalyptic book in the Protestant recognized version of the Canon. A literary device divides the book into two halves. Chapters 1-6 are a collection of stories that introduces the reader to Daniel and three other Israelites as unwilling guests of the Babylonia Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. The second half, Chapters 7-12 consists of apocalyptic imagery of deformed beasts and the heavenly court. The focus of this paper will be on chapter 7, which serves as a bridge of the two halves. Chapter 7 is the earliest of the visions as it identifies with the genre of 8-12 while through language and content it reverts to Daniel chapter 2. The linguistic break down is not as neat as the literary divide in

[2]In the beautiful city of Babylon, there once lived a man named Daniel. [1]He was an advisor to the king. Daniel was different from the other advisors. He believed in the one true God. One day, two of the king’s other advisors watched as Daniel diligently prayed to God. [6]They hated Daniel. He was always praying to God for guidance and he was always honest. He wanted to do the right thing. The advisors despised him because of that. Then one day, as they watched Daniel pray, they came up with an evil idea. They would write up a document that would say that no one would be allowed to pray. [5]If they disobeyed this law they would be thrown into the Lion’s Den like a piece of meat. [3]Suddenly, one day after the king had signed the document, they caught him defying the law and praying any way. They rushed into his room and dragged him to the king’s throne room. [4]Forcing King Darius to

Daniel has much written in it about prophecy that correlates with the End Times prophecy in the book of Revelations. Daniel 9, in particular, talks a great deal about the seven years’ tribulation, otherwise known as the prophecy of seventy weeks. Daniel 9:20-23 says, “And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God …the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, …informed me, …I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.” Daniel has already learned that Jeremiah’s prediction that Jerusalem would become and then continue to be stark and dismal for seventy years.

The canonical significance of Ezekiel is that the Holy God will be worshipped again by a remnant. The canonical significance of Daniel is to show God’s sovereignty in history and prophesy.

The book of Daniel shows him to be a faithful man of God. Daniel was a man of prayer. As stated in the book of Daniel, Daniel would pray three time a day to thank God for his love. Daniel’s commitment to God was incredible. Daniel was devoted first and foremost to God and His commandment on his lifestyle. Daniel unsurmountable faith in God can be seen throughout his journey. For instance, Daniel showed his faith in God by praying to God even though he knew that doing so would endanger his life at what time in his journey. Moreover, Daniel ‘s faithfulness to God even guided him in a lion’ den, where his enemies were sure he would be devoured. But God sent “shut the lions’ mouths” (Daniel 6:22), and Daniel was miraculously

The purpose of this analysis is to consider parts of the context in which the Book of Ezekiel was written in. Through this, we can come to a better understanding of the meaning of the passages by studying the authorship, time period, the setting, and the people to whom it was written. In Ezekiel 36:22-32, Ezekiel prophesies about the restoration of Israel and delivers God’s promises to the people of Israel. In this analysis, we seek to understand what meaning these prophecies and the text have in the setting of the Old Testament. We also want to know how these prophecies which were addressed to the people of Israel apply to us today. Finally, I will share my personal interpretation of the
