Week30: My Bible Journey blog post
March 22, 2026
DANIEL
The prophet Daniel was taken as a youth into exile, away from Jerusalem and into Babylon. The first six chapters of his book are mostly narrative, sharing his and his three friends’ experiences as they face a new life and the threat of a secular culture that did not recognize their God.
The second half of this book contains several fascinating visions given by God to Daniel concerning the course of human history culminating in the conclusion of the ages. It is interesting that many of these visions Daniel understood and could explain. Clearly, he was gifted by God in understanding visions. Yet, the final vision God seals and informs Daniel it was not intended to be fully disclosed until the end of time.
While we have relatively recently done an indepth study of this book, along with Revelation, what a wonderful opportunity to read through it again and be reminded of God’s protective hand, the blessing of God when we remain faithful regardless of the circumstances, and that God has all of human history in view and control. God is aware and knows how all this will end! We serve a most powerful, awesome, and glorious God! And we get to call Him: Father!
