I hope you enjoyed reading the book of Joshua. What an amazing story of God's power, the fulfillment of His promises, and His continue desire for His glory and the holiness of His people.
As we leave Joshua, we head to the book of Daniel. The story of Joshua is about the people of Israel taking possession of the promised land, and Daniel tells of how the people were taken into exile in Babylon because of their sin. Here's a little more background information on Daniel:
Exiled to Babylon in 605 B.C., Daniel was one of several young men chosen to serve in King Nebuchadnezzar’s court. When the Persians conquered Babylon in 539, Daniel was again given a position of power. He remained faithful to God in both of these hostile environments. From the interpretation of dreams, to the familiar stories of the fiery furnace, the lion’s den, and the handwriting on the wall, to the apocalyptic visions, the recurrent theme of the book is God’s sovereignty over human affairs. In the historical sections (ch. 1-6) God supernaturally rescued Daniel and his friends. The rest of the book consists of visions of future judgment and deliverance by the Messiah. Some of Daniel’s prophetic themes are echoed in the book of Revelation.
Write me if you have any questions. Happy reading and keep going strong!
