Daniel

Old Testament · 12 chapters

Faithfulness in a foreign empire, and visions of kingdoms that rise and fall.

About Daniel

Daniel divides neatly in two. The first six chapters are narratives of young exiles keeping faith under pressure — the refused food, the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall, the lions’ den. The last six are apocalyptic visions of successive empires and a kingdom that will not pass away. Both halves make the same claim: earthly power is real but temporary, and heaven rules.

  • Faithfulness under pressure
  • God’s sovereignty
  • Prayer
  • Hope
