Study Lesson on The Book of Daniel
Lessons to Learn
The Book of Daniel to me is one of the most entertaining books of the Bible. In it there are lessons that we can apply to our lives today. I will only mention 5 lessons that can be taken from Daniel, but there are definitely for than just 5 lessons you can take.
1. Be Reasonable with Your Faith
In the first chapter, Daniel and his companions are supposed to eat of the king’s meat and drink the wine of the kingdom. This had two purposes – to keep these special children who would become the wise men of the land as healthy as possible and to introduce them into the customs of their new masters. Daniel made a choice in his heart that he would not ruin his body by eating and drinking the king's food, knowing that it goes against what God wants.
Rather than fight, he asked to eat only vegetables and drink water, but he wasn't allowed because the masters did not want them to get weak. Daniel asked one more time and this time with Melzar who was their caretaker.
Daniel 1:11-13 (KIV)
11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”
As Christians we will have to stand up to those that go against our faith. Many of us often start
He is stunned by how The officer “casually raise his pistol’(36) and kills Aunt Leah. Daniel wonders how the officer could shoot Leah without showing emotion, casually as if he did this every day. Which he most likely did. Daniel is so impacted that he “doesn't even cry”, He knew that the Nazis didn't like Jews but how could this hatred justify for killing another human. And he wonders how his entire race is beginning to be wiped out, and few people even know. The significance of this of this event how daniel remembers Her. Even though she was strict she loved her children and made the ultimate sacrifice for them, but it was in vain. Daniel will remember her sacrifice and feel sorrow for all the people he has seen
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.
hunger drove them to scour the wild shore with angling hooks, for fishes and sea fowl,whatever fell into their hands; and lean days were their bellies thin.” Odysseus, and his crew are starving on a island with cattle everywhere. They showed true persistence going on for weeks without food. If you had to starve, or die then you would probably choose death. These men chose to starve for a long time before
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
Daniel received also a Babylonian’s name so he was called Belteshazzar (or Belshazzar) that possibly means “Bel, protect his life.” Daniel’s character was tested when he decided not to eat the king’s food and proposed to the commander of the officials to eat something different to see they would be healthier and better looking than the ones eating from the king’s chosen food. After a week eating vegetables, Daniel was healthier and better looking than the other youth. By choosing not to eat the food from the king’s table Daniel was being obedient to God’s word because the food chosen by the king was dedicated to the Babylonian’s gods, probably were from unclean animals and the blood was not taken out. Daniel received the name Belteshazzar because of the Babylonian’s gods either Marduk, or Nebo conceivably to incorporate the culture of the Babylonians and their pagan’s gods.
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.
In this paper, I will write a scriptural response to the assigned reading of the NIV Study Bible and the Wiersbe Bible Commentary. I will write my response to the reading from Leviticus and Numbers in the NIV Study Bible and Wiersbe Bible Commentary.
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
Background: Daniel 1-10 (Explain who the Satraps and Administrators are and how Daniel was one of them but when then had came up with the plan to make it wrong to pray to anyone but the king the decided to attack connection with his God.) Will write in this part… Soon…
When I read the book of Daniel it’s not just about his life, but how he also influenced the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They displayed a life that was solidified in their beliefs in God and no one could change that. It was that beliefs that reflected in their character and success
One of the writers of the Old Testament that is often spoken as an apocalyptic writer and that is Daniel. Daniel is depicted as an apocalyptic writer because in the Hebrew Bible, Daniel had dreams and visions which also involved angelic intermediaries Daniel 's writings also involve a comprehensive view of prophetic history.
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded the city of Jerusalem and besieged it. The Babylonians ferociously and cruelly stole everything they deemed valuable in the city. One of the valuables taken was Daniel, a wise Jewish boy. While in Babylon, Daniel never lost his faith in God and always strove to obey Him to the best of his abilities. When king Darius took over Babylon, he appointed officials to look over the government affairs. Daniel was one
Among the many messages in the book of Daniel, one of the main themes is the idea of know your place in any society. This themes comes up in many different places in the book of Daniel but one of the key places is in the very beginning. In the beginning of this book, Daniel refuses to take the food of the king in an effort to prove that he and his friends are ten times better. Through this act amongst others throughout the book of Daniel, the reader can learn ways to truly understand their place in society. Much like in the case of Daniel and his friends, many people are often times told where they are meant to be in society. While reading the book of Daniel, individuals can learn how to assert their true place in any society they are placed
What do Daniel’s actions teach you about the opportunity we have to play into God’s story?
“She. . . Told me she saw the Announcers.” Daniel croaked and turned away, his eyes stared out into the void. He didn't bother to see their reaction, or even listen to them, as he drowned them out and closed his eyes. Daniel didn't want to be there, he wanted to be with his love, he wanted their curse to be over, he wanted them – He wanted something more. He didn't care for the risk in line, he didn't care if he had to take his life for the curse to ridden from them.
