The complation of Book of Danial 27
Thursday, August 17, 2006
For:
1. Nebuchaduezar allowed the Jews who remained in the
land of Judea some degree of freedom and independence. He even appointed
Zedekiah Icing over them and Gedaliah son of Ahikamto to manage their affairs (2Kings 24:17 and 25:22).
In a similar fashion he appointed Jewish judges to manage the affairs of the
Jews of Babylon.
2. Sussana did that in the garden of her own house
after everyone had left (Daniel 13:7). She did not wash in a public place where
people could see her, she clearly made sure that there was no one in the garden
who could see her, and she did that every day, as the weather was hot.
3. Daniel was moved by the Spirit to save Sussana
(Daniel 12:45). From a very young age God gave him knowledge and wisdom (Daniel
1:17), He did clearly show to the people that the two judges lied and that they
were prepared to sentence an innocent person to death.
4. It’s feasible to say that Daniel destroyed Bel and its temple while Arteheshta
completely eradicated them completely.
5. There are several examples in the Bible of supernatural trips. Enoch was not
found because God took him (Gen 5:24). Lot and his family were led by two
angels out of Sodom (Gen 19:16). Elijah was given cake and water by the angel
of God. He was also taken by the chariot to Heaven (2kings 2:11).
