THE BOOK OF DANIEL
CHAPTER 1
DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS ARE TAKEN CAPTIVE WHY WAS DANIEL IN CAPTIVITY
So happy you're back at Daily Bread Bible Study
... We are going to talk about a terrible time in the Jewish people's lives.
In about 587 BC God allowed the king of Babylon (Iraq) named
Nebuchadnezzar to overtake Jerusalem and to even destroy the Temple. The
reason God allowed this was because the Jewish people were not in obedience
to God. The prophet Jeremiah warned them as well as other prophets but they
would not heed. So, God allowed them to become enslaved by the
Babylonians.
During the captivity, the king of Babylon told his people that he wanted all
of the children of the Jewish people that appeared to be unblemished,
skillful and wise to be brought to Babylon to be taught the Babylonian
speech and ways. Of these children was a special child named Daniel. There
were also three friends of his named Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego.
WHO ARE DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS DANIEL IN CAPTIVITY BY THE KING OF BABYLON
The king ordered that these Jewish children were to eat a certain type of
foods that would make them big and strong. However, Daniel and his friends
were liked by the keeper of Daniel and his friends and Daniel told him that
Daniel and his
friends could not eat the food and wine of the Babylonians because it would
defile them. The keeper of the children feared the king would know that
Daniel was not eating the food because his appearance would be weak. But,
Daniel said "give us 10 days of only water and fruit and I will prove to you
that we will be as strong looking as the others that eat the Babylonian
diet" ... Of course, after the 10 days was over they looked stronger than
the others.
These four
children were given knowledge and skill from God. He gave Daniel the ability
to understand and interpret dreams just as he had given Joseph in the book
of Genesis. This would come in handy in Daniel's future ... After a set
amount of time, the king of Babylon called in all the Jewish children that
were brought to Babylon. He found Daniel and his friends to be the best of
the crop. He found them to be 10 times wiser than all his magicians and his
advisors around him.
Daniel and his friends were imprisoned leaving Daniel in captivity until God soon intervenes, or had He already?
Be sure continue to see what happens next ...
