Author: Daniel
(“God is my judge”)
Date: 536 B.C.
Daniel was taken to Babylon in the first deportation by Nebuchadnezzar in 605 B.C.
He was there in Babylon until at least 536 B.C. (Probably about 70 years or more).
Daniel probably wrote this near the end of that period.
Daniel was probably about 15 years old at the time of his exile to Babylon.
Ezekiel was a contemporary of Daniel and spoke of him in his prophecy
Ezekiel 14:14, “even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God.”
Ezekiel 14:20 “even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter.
They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.”
Ezekiel 28:3 “you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;”
Purpose: to inspire hope
This prophecy was intended to give hope.
The audience for this prophecy was the Jews in exile in Babylon.
Theme: God’s Sovereignty
Key Verses:
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people.
It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,
God’s kingdom set up by Christ at his first coming and consummated at his second coming.
Outline:
1. Historical events in Daniel’s life
Daniel 1-6: Historical events in Daniel’s life (Daniel’s refusal to defile himself, interpretation of Neb.’s
dream, the fiery furnace, the humiliation of King Neb., the handwriting on the wall, and Daniel in the Lion’s Den.
2. Prophecies about the future
Daniel 7-12: Prophecies concerning the future of Israel and the nations (general order of world powers/kingdoms, the coming of Messiah, the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, and the end times)
Application:
Daniel is a great example of faithfulness in obedience to God and prayer even under hard circumstances.
We must trust and obey even when life is difficult.
Daniel was always careful to give all glory to God rather than taking credit for his wisdom and ability.
We must always give the glory to God, because everything we have comes from him.
