How To Trust God With Your Future Even When It Looks Like You Don’t Have One (Daniel 1:1-21)
Four young men are sent to university and offered power at the very centre of the empire. Will they be able to resist?
Daniel’s journals from exile.
Four young men are sent to university and offered power at the very centre of the empire. Will they be able to resist?
A philosophical crisis puts Daniel and his friends on the chopping block.
Daniel saves lives by interpreting the king’s nightmare — oh, and also reveals God’s plan for the rest of history right up to Judgement Day and beyond.
King Nebuchadnezzar tries to unite his empire by setting up a state-sanctioned religion. It goes wrong, of course: God interferes and religious tolerance is enforced. But at what cost?
Nebuchadnezzar learns that religious tolerance is not enough: God will not be satisfied with anything less than total dependence and total commitment.
Daniel experiences a nightmare of his own: stormy seas, all-consuming monsters, and — suddenly — the arrival of two heavenly figures, an old man and a young one. What is going on? What does it all mean?
As Daniel’s vision continues, an angel explains to him what he is seeing: a complete outline of future history. But for some reason knowing this does not help Daniel feel any better…
Daniel receives a second major vision, and even though the angel’s explanation is even more detailed than the first one, somehow Daniel ends up feeling even worse than he did the last time.
Daniel is called in one last time to advise the royal court of Babylon, and is promoted to the highest position he has ever held in government. But does any of it really matter anymore?
Daniel suddenly remembers a letter he once read when he was a young man, and when he digs it back out of his files and re-reads it, he realises that everything is about to change.
