    BIBLE LEGEND

    · KNOWN FOR: AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL

    HOMETOWN: DANIEL WAS BORN IN JERUSALEM

    · OCCUPATION: DANIEL SERVED AS AN ADVISER TO


    KINGS

    ACCORDING TO THE HEBREW BIBLE DANIEL WAS A


    ,

    NOBLE JEWISH YOUTH OF JERUSALEM TAKEN


    INTO CAPTIVITY BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR II OF
    BABYLON ,

    SERVING THE KING AND HIS SUCCESSORS


    WITH LOYALTY AND ABILITY UNTIL THE TIME
    DANIEL OF THE PERSIAN CONQUEROR CYRUS, ALL
    THE WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO THE GOD OF
    ISRAEL.

    DANIEL MEANS "GOD IS MY JUDGE," OR "JUDGE OF GOD," IN HEBREW; HOWEVER,


    THE BABYLONIANS WHO CAPTURED HIM FROM JUDAH WANTED TO WIPE OUT ANY
    IDENTIFICATION WITH HIS PAST, SO THEY RENAMED HIM BELTESHAZZAR, WHICH MEANS "MAY
    [GOD] PROTECT HIS LIFE." IN BABYLON, DANIEL WAS TRAINED IN THE KING'S COURT FOR
    SERVICE. HE QUICKLY ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENCE AND FOR ABSOLUTE
    FAITHFULNESS TO HIS GOD.
    EARLY IN HIS RETRAINING PROGRAM THEY WANTED HIM TO EAT THE KING'S RICH FOOD
    ,
    AND
    WINE BUT DANIEL AND HIS HEBREW FRIENDS SHADRACH MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
    , , , ,
    CHOSE
    VEGETABLES AND WATER INSTEAD. AT THE END OF A TEST PERIOD THEY WERE HEALTHIER
    ,
    THAN
    THE OTHERS AND WERE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR JEWISH DIET. IT WAS THEN GOD
    GAVE
    DANIEL THE ABILITY TO INTERPRET VISIONS AND DREAMS. BEFORE LONG DANIEL
    WAS,

    EXPLAINING THE DREAMS OF KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR. BECAUSE DANIEL POSSESSED


    WISDOM

    DURING
    THE REIGNS OF SUCCESSIVE RULERS BUT KING DARIUS PLANNED TO PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF
    ,
    THE
    ENTIRE KINGDOM. THE OTHER ADVISERS BECAME SO JEALOUS THEY CONSPIRED AGAINST
    DANIEL
    AND MANAGED TO GET HIMTHROWN INTO A DEN OF HUNGRY LIONS:

    REFLECTION
    DANIEL IS A HERO TO ME BECAUSE FIRST AND FOREMOST HE WAS LOYAL. DANIEL HAD MUCH
    ,

    FAVOR WITH THE KING AND THE WISE MEN DIDN'T LIKE THAT. THEY KNEW THAT DANIEL
    PRAYED TO ANOTHER GOD THAT DEFINITELY WASN'T KING DARIUS AND KNEW THE KING
    WOULDN'T LIKE
    THAT.

    THE KING. THE KING WAS SO SORRY WHEN HE SAW THAT IT WAS DANIEL AND WISHED HE
    HAD
    NEVER ENFORCED THE LAW BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. BUT DANIEL ASSURED

    THE
    KING THAT GOD WOULD SPARE HIS LIFE. DANIEL PRAYED TO GOD AND GOD SPARED HIS LIFE
