Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the eyes of the Lord <\/strong>are<\/strong><\/em> over the righteous, and his ears <\/strong>are open<\/strong><\/em> unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord <\/strong>is<\/strong><\/em> against them that do evil. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20141 Peter 3:12
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read\nthe Key Verse. According to our key verse, we can understand that God sees and\nhears His people. When enemies try to do evil against God\u2019s people, He knows\nand takes care of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We are\nto learn to consistently, faithfully, walk with God and read His Word \u2013 just as\nDaniel did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In\nour last lesson, we learned about Daniel and his three friends who were carried\ncaptive during the first siege of Jerusalem.\nWe that found they remained faithful to God in the enemy land. In this lesson,\nwe will continue with Daniel\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new king reigned in Babylon.\nHis name was Belshazzar, and he was King Nebuchadnezzar\u2019s grandson. We read\ntoday of a time he drank wine before his thousands. When he called for the\nvessels from the house of the Lord to be brought to him and led them to drink\nwith them, toasting many false idols, a hand appeared and wrote upon the wall.\nWhen no one understood the meaning, Daniel was called. After reminding King\nBelshazzar of his grandfather, King Nebuchadnezzar, and his acknowledgment of\nGod, Daniel rebuked King Belshazzar for not<\/em><\/strong> acknowledging God. The\nhandwriting declared King Belshazzar would lose his kingdom that night \u2013 and he\ndid. With that came the demise of the Babylonian reign. Next, the Medo-Persian\nkingdom became predominant.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 King Darius, the new\nking, placed Daniel as the head of his one hundred twenty presidents, and they\nhated Daniel for it. It was then that they began plotting to destroy him. When\nDaniel continued to pray to God three times daily, breaking the new law of the\nland, he was thrown into the den of lions. Nevertheless, through all of this,\nKing Darius recognized God\u2019s hand in Daniel\u2019s life. The wicked men who tricked\nKing Darius into signing that bad law were thrown (with their families) into\nthe lions\u2019 den where they all died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some do not believe Daniel was a real man (because\nof the accuracy of the events recorded in the book of Daniel \u2013 long before they\nhappened), we read that Ezekiel knew of Daniel and Jesus quoted Daniel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel not only wrote many of God\u2019s Words (recorded in the Bible), but he read God\u2019s Words recorded by other men of God. We will find what he learned while reading the book of Jeremiah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional note:\u00a0 Many of the things portrayed in the book of Daniel are also found in the book of Revelation. Things from every chapter in Daniel are referred to in the book of Revelation, and most of the chapters in Revelation have references to the book of Daniel. Therefore, in order to understand Revelation, it is important to know the book of Daniel. Because this is not an exhaustive study of Daniel but an overview, we will not take time to compare the two books in this lesson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
