Welcome back to the Daniel Adventures, one of the most exciting stories in the Bible. It involves a young man serving God in an amazing one of a kind adventure.. Now... Prequel 2 of The Daniel Adventures!
Let's meet a young man who was exile, slave, hostage, dream interpreter, prisoner on death row, and finally, prime minister of not one, but 4 world governments. He is one of the wisest and most amazing men who ever lived. Maybe, you will be a Daniel of the future.
This episode explains Daniel's adventures at the human level.
He lived somewhere in or around Jerusalem. He came from a wealthy family and attended the best schools. Suddenly, his days living the good life ended when an enemy army surrounded his city. Terror struck the people as their enemies glared and laughed! Negotiations took place and the city surrendered. Part of the surrender deal was high value hostages that would go back to the conquering army's capital, Babylon. Because of his youth and position in society, Daniel was selected. He was likely between 17 and 20 because he is called a “young man”. These hostages were not a “chain gang” like we might imagine, but still it was a fearful moment as Daniel and the others left Jerusalem for the last time. Daniel would never return.
Daniel and his companions were destined to affect nations during their lifetimes. Daniel would see multiple kings and their kingdoms rise and fall before his eyes. He would even foretell one king's death on the very night he was executed. God would give Daniel a supernatural overview of all world history.
Finally as an old man Daniel would die and his prophetic writings be closed until the last days of world history.
Our Lord Jesus validates Daniel's life and writings by referring to him in his lessons to his disciples. Read it in Matthew- first book of the New Testament.
