Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego got thrown into a fiery furnace for not worshipping a golden image of the king. Although he and his three friends held prominent positions in the government, they were not immune from persecution. He also received a prophecy concerning the end time King of the North and South - the Bible's longest prophecy (chapter 10 - 12).ĭaniel eventually became a chief advisor to the King, then the third ruler of the entire kingdom. He also received the seventy weeks prophecy that foretells the birth of Jesus and his death in 30 A.D. See God at work in this commentary on the books of the twelve minor prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum. They represented the then-future empires of Persia, Macedonia (under Alexander the Great) and the four smaller kingdoms created after Alexander's death (chapter 8). Very likely he is possessed by the devil. He was given an interpretation of a dream he had where he saw a ram and goat. (Matthew 24:15, Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:31, and 2 Thess 2:4) If we carefully study Rev 13, 16 and 17, along with Daniel 8, and 11, we can learn a lot about where the power of the Antichrist comes from. He additionally interpreted the "handwriting on the wall," written by the finger of God, that prophesied the end of the Babylonian empire (chapter 5) and the start of the Persian Empire. This tree represented the king's life of vanity and self-promotion and his punishment of receiving the mind of an animal for seven years.ĭaniel was also given the interpretation of his own dream of four great beasts which are symbolic of world-ruling empires (chapter 7). Daniel also interpretred the king's dream of a large tree cut down (chapter 4). The image represents world empires from the time of Babylon to the End Time just before Jesus' return (chapter 2).

He interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a large image of a man. He soon became known for his understand of " visions and dreams." The prophecies interpreted by (or given to) him include the following. 1965 - Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then working at the Department of Labor, published The Negro Familyhe Case for National Action. At an early age, he and his three friends received positions as " wise men" serving the king. He received special training in the royal court of Babylon. Daniel 1 - Timeline from Moses Sanctuary until the Temple Destroyed. The Jewish historian Josephus alludes to this fact in his book on the history of the Jews (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 10, Chapter 10). A timeline of the original earthly sanctuary built by Moses to Solomans temple which was destroyed by the Babylonian invasion. It is in Babylon that Daniel and his three friends, out of a tradition of kings, are likely made eunuchs for life. They are transported to Babylon while still children (Daniel 1:2 - 4, 6). It was during King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon's first of three attacks against Jerusalem that he and his three friends (their Chaldean or Babylonian names were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego) become captives. His name means ' judgment of God' or 'God my judge.' He was born into Judah's royal family and was likely a relative of King Zedekiah. Daniel will be the next life we will review in our timeline.
