Daniel“The Prophetic Civil Servant”
Context
Staying true to God in a world that isn’t
Indoctrination of the young Israelites – culture, diet, teachings, names
Assimilate? Go undercover? Withdraw? Be overt? Choices, choices, choices…
Devotion to God, whatever the consequences
Daniel in the Lion’s Den (Chapter 6) Saved in the lions’ den, not from the lions’ den Christians not immune from hardships Boldness to speak the word of God
God is in control
Dreams and visions – interpretation not always clear!
Limit to oppression Rise and fall of rulers is in God’s hands God’s kingdom is eternal
