Daniel | The name Daniel means “God is my Judge.” In 606 BC, Daniel captured by the Babylonian army. Daniel was made a eunuch (Isaiah 39:7; Daniel 1:3) and spent life in Babylon, in the service of the royal court. He went by two names: Daniel and Belteshazzar. |
Chapter 1 | Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – are taken to serve Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel outlives the captivity: Daniel 1:1 (606 BC) to Daniel 1:21 (536 BC). In actually, Daniel serves the leaders of the Babylonian and Medo-Persian Empires till 534 BC. (Daniel 10:1) |
Chapter 2 | Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Daniel’s vision about the four Kingdoms: the Babylonian Empire, the Medo-Persian Empire, Alexander the Great’s Empire and the Roman Empire. The Rock (Christ) forms a mountain (the Kingdom of God) that “fills the whole earth.” |
Chapter 3 | Nebuchadnezzar sets up a gold image 90 feet tall of himself. S,M and Abednego are cast into a furnace for refusing to bow down to it. Nebuchadnezzar then calls on all his subjects to never say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. |
Chapter 4 | Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a great tree. God humbles him, but when he glorifies God, the Lord “restores” Nebuchadnezzar to his throne. |
Chapter 5 | Belshazzar, probably the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, sees the handwriting on the wall; then that night is murdered. Darius the Mede becomes King. |
Chapter 6 | Daniel in the lion’s den. |
Chapter 7-12 | More visions of the four great empires and the end times. |
