Daniel 3, Unbowed – When culture says conform, conviction says no.
Turn with me to Daniel chapter 3. We’ve been studying through the book of Daniel, and we’ve been looking at three amazing young men. Four amazing young men, rather. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. These young men are willing to stand in the face of tremendous evil and stand for God. Chapter 3 is the historical account of what happened when a wicked ungodly king desired to make himself God. And what would three of these four young men do?…
Dan 2:24-49
If you look at Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, the four young men that came from Judah under the captivity when Nebuchadnezzar’s first invasion of Judah and were brought back into Babylon and were being trained to be wise men of Babylon and to be conformed to the Babylonian culture. They were given new names. Daniel’s name was changed to Belteshazzar, Hananiah to Shadrach, Mishael to Meshach, and Azariah to Abednego. And when we studied and looked at their names…
Daniel Chapter 1:19 – 2:1-45
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. 20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. 21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar…
Daniel Chapter 1
We want to continue our study through the book of Daniel. And so if you would turn with me to Daniel. Last week I gave you a brief overview of chapter 1. And I want to go back and look in greater detail at chapter 1, which is laying the foundation of what is going to be happening and why things are going the way they are for Daniel and his friends. Let’s just read again chapter 1 this morning.…
Introduction to the Book of Daniel
This morning, I want to begin to study a new, start a new study, and we’ll be looking at the book of Daniel. And so this morning, if you have your Bibles, refer with me to Daniel chapter 1. Those of you who have been with us on Wednesday night and Sunday afternoons, as we’ve been going through the book of Jeremiah, are aware of the circumstances that are surrounding Israel, and Judah, and Daniel at this particular time. Jeremiah,…

Daniel 11:21-35, Antiacus Epiphanes
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 27 And both these…
Daniel 11:2-20, A Mighty King Shall Stand Up
And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be…
Daniel 10:1-15, The Vision
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.…
Daniel 9:20-27, Daniel’s Encounter with Gabriel
20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God; 21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. 22 And he informed me, and talked with me,…
Daniel 9, Prayer
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: 4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from…
