This is the first lesson on what is easily one of the most fascinating and intriguing books of Scripture. Daniel is one very appropriate book for the extraordinary times in which we live. At a time in history when humanism dominates the decision processes of both government and its citizenry, and when hostility toward Christians and Israel is increasingly overt, the Book of Daniel reminds us the Sovereign of the universe still reigns from His throne! The omnipotent God has not deviated from His plan for the culmination of history. Everything He prophetically revealed through the Prophet and Statesman Daniel is taking place right on schedule! We must remember, it is God Who appoints the rulers of the world to their positions of power. He also removes them and brings those who are evil to their ruin.
The Book of Daniel is a perpetual warning to leaders, nations, and the empires of the world, in every age, that every leader and governing body will one day be held accountable before the one and only Living God for the privileged responsibility they were given.
In this first lesson, we take a look at the history of Israel at the time of Daniel. We take a look at the extraordinary man Daniel, of whom not a single negative word in Scripture is recorded! From a teen to an elderly man, the one criticism of Daniel came from jealous, ungodly men who accused him of his fanatical devotion to his God! That was actually a tremendous commendation!
