• Daniel 1:3 (KJV) And the king
spake unto Ashpenaz the master of
his eunuchs, that he should bring
certain of the children of Israel, and
of the king's seed, and of the
princes;
4 Children in whom was no
blemish, but well favoured, and
skilful in all wisdom, and cunning
in knowledge, and understanding
science, and such as had ability in
them to stand in the king's palace,
and whom they might teach the
learning and the tongue of the
Chaldeans. ADD A FOOTER

• Daniel 1:5 (KJV) And the king
appointed them a daily provision of
the king's meat, and of the wine
which he drank: so nourishing them
three years, that at the end thereof
they might stand before the king.
6 Now among these were of the
children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah:
7 Unto whom the prince of the
eunuchs gave names: for he gave
unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar;
and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to
Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah,
of Abed-nego.

• Daniel 1:8 (KJV) But Daniel
purposed in his heart that he would
not defile himself with the portion of
the king's meat, nor with the wine
which he drank: therefore he
requested of the prince of the
eunuchs that he might not defile
himself.
9 Now God had brought Daniel into
favour and tender love with the
prince of the eunuchs.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said
unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king,
who hath appointed your meat and
your drink: for why should he see
your faces worse liking than the
children which are of your sort? then
shall ye make me endanger my head
to the king.

• Daniel 1:11 (KJV) Then said
Daniel to Melzar, whom the
prince of the eunuchs had set over
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah,
12 Prove thy servants, I beseech
thee, ten days; and let them give
us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
13 Then let our countenances be
looked upon before thee, and the
countenance of the children that
eat of the portion of the king's
meat: and as thou seest, deal with
thy servants.
14 So he consented to them in this
matter, and proved them ten days. ADD A FOOTER

• Daniel 1:15 (KJV) And at the end
of ten days their countenances
appeared fairer and fatter in flesh
than all the children which did eat
the portion of the king's meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the
portion of their meat, and the
wine that they should drink; and
gave them pulse.
17 As for these four children, God
gave them knowledge and skill in
all learning and wisdom: and
Daniel had understanding in all
visions and dreams.
18 Now at the end of the days that
the king had said he should bring
them in, then the prince of the
eunuchs brought them in before
Nebuchadnezzar.

and understanding, that the
king inquired of them, he found
them ten times better than all
the magicians and astrologers
that were in all his realm.

unto the first year of king
Cyrus. ADD A FOOTER

1Co 15:51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery;


We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall
rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
