The Book of the Prophet Daniel.

Tweet

Are you still reading the Bible? Not long ago I was reminded of the teachings that the prophet Daniel wrote down. He and his three friends were taken to Babylon and they were placed in their schools for education. All did well and got important assignments in Babylon. Their faith in the true God was tested, but they remained faithful even when they risked losing their lives. Daniel was inspired by God to explain a dream that king Nebuchadnezzar had and its fulfillment extends until our days. He predicted the world powers that would come after Babylon. They are Medo Persia, Greece, Rome and the last one is the Anglo American world power. It is very exciting, as there is no human empire coming after this one. So what will happen? Let´s read what Daniel was inspired to say to the Babylonian king: "During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever." - Daniel 2:44 (New Living Translation) Daniel got many more prophecies from God. Some of them have been fulfilled in our days, and some will be fulfilled in the near future. Let´s look at the last chapter: [b]"8 I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, “How will all this finally end, my lord?” 9 But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end."[/b] In the last chapter God promises that Daniel will have a resurrection from death: 13 “As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.” There is a lot more to say about this inspiring book. Have you read it?? Or are you going to read and study it?? What have you learned of the book of Daniel??
