BOOK OF DANIEL BIBLE STUDY SERIES

THE KIND OF FOOD HE ATE (verses 5 and 8).Дaniel was put on a three-yearsВ’вЂ™ course of training, and by the decree of the king he was to have special food and wine from the kingВ’вЂ™s table to nourish him. It was a terrible experience for him to be deported a thousand miles to Babylon, but В–- compare Genesis 50:20 with Philippians 1:12. Because of these qualities King Nebuchadnezzar chose him and gave orders that he should be trained in all the language and literature of the Chaldeans (verse 4) he was a Jew among Gentiles, living in an alien land, a believer among unbelievers В–- and God had a great work to do through him over a period of 70-80 years. He was of royal descent (verse 3), handsome, a man of culture and outstandingly intelligent (verse 4). He was an Israelite, about 18 years of age when Nebuchadnezzar invaded Judah about the year 606 BC he was captured and then deported to the fabulous city of Babylon, the most magnificent city in the world. Turn to Daniel chapter 1 and notice seven things. Daniel is three times described as the В“вЂќman greatly belovedвЂќВ” (Daniel 9:23 10:11,19) he was a fine character, with an unblemished record, and if this fact discourages us then let us remember that his God is our God.

BOOK OF DANIEL BIBLE STUDY SERIES

The primary object in this series will be to study the life and ministry of Daniel and the great events connected with his long period of service for the Lord, rather than to devote time to a comprehensive study of the dreams and visions and their interpretation. Many of the prophecies have already been fulfilled literally, and when the Lord Jesus comes back again all the remaining prophecies will find their fulfilment. They contain dreams and visions, all of which refer to the unfolding of history and to the closing events of the age. The twelve chapters of Daniel are easy to read, but are by no means easy to understand.
