Welcome To The Study Of The Book Of Daniel

The purpose of the Book of Daniel is to show the superiority of the God of Israel over the idol gods of Babylon and other pagan nations. We see the humiliation of the idol gods and their uselessness and on the other hand the glorious victories of the God of the Hebrews.

Daniel gave God the credit for his wisdom and understanding and was rewarded for his counsel and rose to the highest civil posts in three governments. He was not only a prophet but an outstanding statesman. Yet, in all his high positions he was never afraid to declare God’s truth boldly! Sadly, today, like other highly figurative books of the Bible, Daniel is greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted.
