A Brief Study of Daniel
Introduction:
Daniel is a man named among the Greats!
Ezekiel 14:20 "Though Noah,
Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver
neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their
righteousness."
Daniel could understand dreams and visions – Daniel
1:17
I. The Uncompromising
Daniel
Daniel would not eat the King’s meat or drink his wine Daniel
1:8
Two reasons why Daniel did not eat this meat and drink
this wine:
-
Leviticus 17:10-14 –
The meat was not properly prepared
-
Deuteronomy 5:6-9 – This
activity was connected with idolatry
Daniel is promoted Daniel 6:1-3.
His enemies seek to set him at fault- notice what they had to do Daniel
6:4-5. They find a way Daniel 6:6-9.
Notice what happens next Daniel 6:10-14.
II. Daniel in the Lion’s
Den
Daniel is delivered by God – Daniel
6:16-24
King Darius makes a new law – Daniel
6:25-28
Notice in the armor that we are to wear Ephesians
6:10-17 what else we need to do that Daniel did Ephesians
6:18!
III. Daniel Prophesied
the Kingdom
Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. He needed someone to interpret
that dream – Daniel 2:36-45 – The Kingdom
that never would be destroyed. Christ was going to be born to have an everlasting
Kingdom Luke 1:30-35. His Kingdom would
stand Matthew 16:18-19, II
Peter 1:11 and Hebrews 12:28.
His Kingdom is not of this world John 18:36.
Notice also Daniel 7:13-14.
Notice how Christ left this earth Acts 1:9
IV. God may put us in
the "wrong place, at the right time"
Paul and Silas – Acts 16:23-34.
The conversion of the Jailor
Or even the right place….
Philip Acts 8:26-39
– Conversion of the Eunuch
Conclusion:
We need men like Daniel today in the Church – Philippians
1:27, Titus 2:11-12, and Revelation 2:10
