In The David Story, the largest portion of the story, takes place in Jerusalem. David was a great warrior of the Hebrew era. He was famously known for killing the Philistine giant, Goliath. He

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.

The book of Daniel is a book written by Daniel, however, inspired by God. This great book starts off after the Babylonians siege Jerusalem, and King Nebuchadnezzar had taken Daniel, and his friend’s captive. Daniel rose to prominence because of his faithfulness to the God of Israel. Throughout the book, Daniel heart was always with God’s people. In Daniel’s latter years, beginning in the ninth chapter Daniel begins to cry out to God on the behalf of the people of Israel. Consequently, later in the same chapter while Daniel was petitioning God, the angel Gabriel gives Daniel answers to his prayers. Furthermore, what is recorded in Daniel 9:24-27, known as the seventy “seven” weeks are known as the most argumentative

In the epic Genesis, Joseph is a character who endures countless hardships only to discover that his suffering was all part of God’s plan. This realization, along with many other crucial plot developments, is made possible by the actions of Judah. Judah begins the story in a place of envy and selfishness, but later he shows great moral development by committing the ultimate sacrifice in the name of his father.

It beings as did 2 kings demonstrating the wickedness of Manasseh, but differs in the second half. In the second half the Lord speaks to Manasseh and his people but they paid no attention. Since they do not listen God sends the commander of the army of the king of Assyria, who captures Manasseh with hooks and bounds him with chains of bronze, and takes him to Babylon. Their Manasseh was in such distress that he humbled himself to the lord of his father and entered in Gods favor. Once in Gods favor the Lord brought him back to his people and his kingdom, in return he destroyed what he had rebuilt and threw it out of the city. Manasseh restored the Lords alter and offered on it a sacrifice of offering and peace offering of thanksgiving. The author of Chronicles is speaking to the people of Jerusalem returning home. The purpose of Chronicles is to instill its people with

All doubt of Belshazzar never existing was thrown away when the Nabonidus Cylinder was discovered in 1854. It is large clay, cylinder that originates from the city of Ur and founded by British archaeologist J.G. Taylor in its ruins. The cylinder has scriptures from Nabonidus himself praying to the moon-goddess Sin that his first-born son never fails the goddess. It is still not clear to many what relations Belshazzar has to Nebuchadnezzar, but all assumptions suggests that he is the maternal grandson of Nebuchadnezzar. (Unam Sanctam Catholicam) The statement that Belshazzar was the son of Nebuchadnezzar shows that the historical data of the Biblical could be at fault. It is impossible to know for sure what Daniel 5 means when the text says "son"; it can mean descendant or grandson. The way, however, in which Nebuchadnezzar is referred to in Daniel 5 shows that the author could have had no knowledge of the two kings, but that he considered Nebuchadnezzar could be his father. The narrative of the fifth chapter follows directly on the chapters about Nebuchadnezzar, and begins with the statement that Belshazzar was the son of that king; and, furthermore, the we can

Later Daniel impresses King Darius and receives a promotion, which causes jealousy in the other wise men. They then talk the King into making a new rule where they had to worship Darius every day. Daniel had to then again go against

In chapters 1 through 8 in the Book of Daniel, Daniel helps King Nebuchadnezzar he interpreted dreams and helps his fellow wise men escape a deathly fate some of them died but Daniels closest friends lives. In the dream that Daniel interprets for the king he shows that there is a gold statue that needs to be built that is 60 cubits by 6. Initially the king thinks that the wise men are all bad so he tries killing them and is successful with many of them that are Daniel's closest friends but four of them live and then you'll keep him safe

Dating of the book of Daniel is difficult as there is no consensus amongst scholars as to when it was composed. It is widely believed to have been written as early as the late sixth-century BC, alternatively, as recent as the second-century BC. John J. Collins suggests,

Of course, we read of the Daniel and his three companions endearing themselves to Nebuchadnezzar by demonstrating a wisdom beyond that of the wise men surrounding the King. It perhaps says something about split personality of the King in that although he ransacked the temple in Jerusalem, he was open to extending a great deal of freedom and responsibility to the Israelites.

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.

He prayed and said,“Lord, I thank you that I have gotten so much wisdom from you. I know you will always protect me, therefore, I'm always grateful to you.” The evil men who plotted against Daniel went to King Darius and said,“Oh mighty King Darius, look at this lovely city you have built. You should get all the glory and praise.”

Throughout the bible we can find many comparisons among characters and stories. Some of these can help us to further understand God’s word. We can also see the wisdom of God through his inspired writers in these literary devices. The kingship of Saul and David can be examined and evaluated using comparisons and contrasts.

Nephi was one of the sons of Lehi. Lehi received visions from the Lord and began attempting to repent the people of Jerusalem. After his attempted murder from those angered by his preaching, Lehi listened to God’s commands and left Jerusalem. Shortly afterwards, God commands Lehi to send his four sons back to Jerusalem so that they may retrieve ‘The Brass Plates’ held by Jerusalem’s powerful leader Laban. The brothers failed during their first couple attempts to take the ‘Plates’ from Laban, but once Nephi traveled alone and prayed to the Lord, he was successful in defeating Laban with his own sword, which had been commanded by God, and returning the ‘Brass Plates’ to his father who spend times

Before, King David gathered a surplus of wealth when in power to bring the Jewish culture into the Golden Age. “With Solomon...the surplus accumulated...rapidly dissipated in ambitious building.” (Asali p.53) through large fortifications and military armaments. At his old age, he placed a heavy tax burden on his people, and in turn they became largely bitter towards him. After his death, massive conflicts came before the people to eventually split Israel and Judah into separate kingdoms. In 800 B.C.E., “two centuries later, the Assyrians conquered the north, and many of the Jews of Israel were deported” (Ardito, Gambaro and Torrefranca p.42). Later, in 600 B.C.E., the kingdom of Judah was overthrown by the Babylons. In turn, this lead to their captivity as slaves; entering a new era of a nomadic culture spread across the western world. On the other hand, it was this captivity which strengthened their religious identity, and evidently propagated the largest monolithic deity known throughout the 21st century: Jesus Christ.
