Show Notes

Daniel, one of the celebrated heroes of the Bible is a prophet in Babylon at the time of the overthrow of Judah by the Babylonians (Chaldeans), under the leadership of King Nebuchadnezzar. As a boy he is among the first exiles taken to Babylon and serves God during the seventy-year captivity. He and his three friends are among a select group who show an aptitude for learning and are set aside to be trained in the ways of the Babylonians. They prove to be the wisest of all the trainees, and, at the end of their training, they enter the service of the king. They distinguish themselves by remaining faithful to Godly standards. And God blesses them. Their story also demonstrates that God cares not only about our spiritual well-being, but also about our physical health.

 

Scriptures referenced include the following Daniel 1:3-4, 6, 10, 12-13, 20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Genesis 1:29; Matthew 4:23 and 3 John 1:2.
