The God of History Daniel 1:1-7
An interpretation of history? Vs 2 “And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim King of Judah into his hand…”
The fall of Jerusalem foretold. This proved that God was in control.
Daniel – God is my judge Beltshezzar - Bell protect the king Hananiah – The Lord is gracious Shadrach – Command of Aku Mishael – Who is like God Meshach – Who is what Aku is? Azariah – The Lord is my helper Abednego – Servant of Nego.
Personal Holiness matters A word for our time
The word for us. We have hope because God rules history. We can maintain personal holiness despite external circumstances.
