He was carried captive to Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiachin, B. C. 606, when a youth. He was there taught the learning of the Chaldeans, and held high offices, both under the Babylonian and Persian empires. He was persecuted for his religion, but was miraculously delivered; and lived to a great age, as he must have been about ninety-four years old at the time of the last of his visions. The book of Daniel is partly historical, relating various circumstances which befel himself and the Jews, at Babylon; but is chiefly prophetical, detailing visions and prophecies which foretell numerous important events relative to the four great empires of the world, the coming and death of the Messiah, the restoration of the Jews, and the conversion of the Gentiles. Though there are considerable difficulties in explaining the prophetical meaning of some passages in this book, we always find encouragement to faith and hope, examples worthy of imitation, and something to direct our thoughts to Christ Jesus upon the cross and on his glorious throne.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.  Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 1; “The captivity of Daniel and his companions. (1-7) Their refusal to eat the king's meat. (8-16) Their improvement in wisdom. (17-21)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.  King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia attacked Jerusalem and he (see Daniel 1:1-7) took Daniel prisoner.  Daniel he would not defile himself with the king's food (see Daniel 1:8-16) because he was faithful to keep God’s law.   Daniel could also tell the meaning of dreams and visions (see Daniel 1:17-21) and King Nebuchadnezzar preferred his interpretations and wisdom over all the men of his country who served him; “20 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. 21 And Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus.” Daniel 1:20-21 English Standard Version (ESV).  As servants of the Most High God (see Psalm 75:5-7) you and I should know from where promotions come. You and I have God’s Word so we will understand what good doctrine is; “1 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine... 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, ” Titus 2:1-12 ESV. Hold onto the Word of God (see Galatians 1:6-7) study so you won’t be fooled by false doctrine. We are saved by our faith in Jesus (see Ephesians 2:8-9) and our faithfulness will produce good works.
