Daniel: The Furnace
Scripture: Daniel 3:15-17 “ [ Nebuchadnezzar said ] And who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?” They said, If the God we serve exists, then He can rescue us from the blazing furnace, and He can rescue us from your power, the king.
Scripture: Daniel 3:18 But even if He does not rescue us, we want you to know king that we will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.”
Scripture: Daniel 3:29 [ Nebuchadnezzar said ] “… for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way!”
Daniel: The Lion’s Den
Scripture: Daniel 6:26-27 I (Darius) make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for He is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.
Scripture: Daniel 6:26-27
He delivers and rescues; He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, He who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
Daniel
Chapters 4 & 5 Humbling the Proud
Scripture: Jeremiah 27:1–8 27:6 Now I [ THE LORD ] have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him.
Scripture: Daniel 4:17 “ This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers, And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes, And sets over it the lowliest of men. ”
[I] had them made of bricks with blue stone on which wonderful bulls and dragons were depicted. I covered their roofs by laying majestic cedars… over them. I hung doors of cedar adorned with bronze at all the gate openings. I placed wild bulls and ferocious dragons in the gateways and thus adorned them with luxurious splendor so that people might gaze on them in wonder
Scripture: Daniel 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are right and His ways are just; and those who walk in pride He is able to humble.
Scripture: Daniel 5:25 MENE
MENE
“numbered”
TEKEL
PARSIN
“weighed”
“divided”
Scripture: Daniel 5:22 “And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven… you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.
Scripture: Daniel 4:17 “ This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers, And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes, And sets over it the lowliest of men. ”
