Standing firm in foreign courts. Trusting God through impossible circumstances.
About the Book of Daniel: Written during the Babylonian exile (6th century BC), Daniel tells the story of Jewish exiles who maintained their faith while serving in pagan courts. The book divides into two parts: stories of faithfulness (chapters 1-6) and apocalyptic visions (chapters 7-12). Daniel and his friends model how to live godly lives in hostile environments while trusting God's sovereignty over all earthly kingdoms.
Key Themes: Faithfulness in adversity, God's sovereignty over nations, the coming kingdom of God, divine protection for the faithful, wisdom vs. worldly knowledge, and hope during exile.
