I) DANIEL'S LIFE & HISTORY EXPERIENCES: {1:1-21}

Jehoiakim king of Judah: Evil king of Judah

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon: Ruled most of the know world at that time.

The Assyrians took Israel's Jewish people captives in 721 BC to foreign lands and bring foreign people to Israel. This started the Samaritans community. This followed three stages, during which the Babylonians took the Judah Jewish people captive and removed them to foreign lands. Babylonians took the Judah Jews in 605 BC (Daniel, ETC.) to Babylon, in 597 BC (Ezekiel) to Babylon, & in 586 BC Babylonians captured Judah & destroyed the temple. Likewise three stages of Jewish people returned to Judah with the first occurring in 538 BC under Zerubbabel (Joshua is priest) to rebuild the temple (see Ezra 1-6). The second temple was rebuilt between 538-515. The second return in 458 BC occurred under Ezra to restore the Jewish community of faith (see Ezra 7-10). The third return occurred in 444 BC under Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and the city (see Nehemiah 1-6) which started Daniel's 9:24-27 seventy weeks prophecy. The Jewish community in Jerusalem is discussed in Nehemiah 7-13.

Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand: Due to the sins of Judah.

KEYWORD: [ VISIONS ] {DANIEL 1:17 – 11:14}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) 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. {Daniel 1:17}

(2) Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. {Daniel 2:19}

(3) But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; {Daniel 2:28}

(4) I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. {Daniel 4:5}

(5) O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 4:9}

(6) Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. {Daniel 4:10}

(7) I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; {Daniel 4:13}

(8) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. {aniel 7:1}

(9) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. {Daniel 7:2}

(10) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. {Daniel 7:7}

(11) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. {Daniel 7:13}

(12) I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. {Daniel 7:15}

(13) In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. {Daniel 8:1}

(14) And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. {Daniel 8:2}

(15) Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? {Daniel 8:13}

(16) And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. {Daniel 8:15}

(17) And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. {Daniel 8:16}

(18) So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. {Daniel 8:17}

(19) And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. {Daniel 8:26}

(20) And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. {Daniel 8:27}

(21) Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. {Daniel 9:21}

(22) At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. {Daniel 9:23}

(23) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. {Daniel 9:24}

(24) In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. {Daniel 10:1}

(25) And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. {Daniel 10:7}

(26) Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. {Daniel 10:8}

(27) Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. {Daniel 10:14}

(28) And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. {Daniel 10:16}

(29) And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. {Daniel 11:14}

(2) And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. {Daniel 2:1}

(3) Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. {Daniel 2:2}

(4) And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. {Daniel 2:3}

(5) Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. {Daniel 2:4}

(6) The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. {Daniel 2:5}

(7) But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 2:6}

(8) They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. {Daniel 2:7}

(9) But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 2:9}

(10) The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? {Daniel 2:26}

(11) But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; {Daniel 2:28}

(12) This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. {Daniel 2:36}

(13) Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. {Daniel 2:45}

(14) I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. {Daniel 4:5}

(15) Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. {Daniel 4:6}

(16) Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 4:7}

(17) But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying, {Daniel 4:8}

(18) O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 4:9}

(19) This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. {Daniel 4:18}

(20) Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. {Daniel 4:19}

(21) Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. {Daniel 5:12}

(22) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. {Daniel 7:1}

KEYWORD: [ INTERPRETATION ] {DANIEL 2:4 – 7:16}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. {Daniel 2:4}

(2) The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. {Daniel 2:5}

(3) But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 2:6}

(4) They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. {Daniel 2:7}

(5) But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 2:9}

(6) Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. {Daniel 2:16}

(7) Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation. {Daniel 2:24}

(8) Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. {Daniel 2:25}

(9) The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? {Daniel 2:26}

(10) But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. {Daniel 2:30}

(11) This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. {Daniel 2:36}

(12) Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. {Daniel 2:45}

(13) Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. {Daniel 4:6}

(14) Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 4:7}

(15) O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 4:9}

(16) This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. {Daniel 4:18}

(17) Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. {Daniel 4:19}

(18) This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: {Daniel 4:24}

(19) The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. {Daniel 5:7}

(20) Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. {Daniel 5:8}

(21) Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. {Daniel 5:12}

(22) And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: {Daniel 5:15}

(23) And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. {Daniel 5:16}

(24) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. {Daniel 5:17}

(25) This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. {Daniel 5:26}

(26) I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. {Daniel 7:16}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ye shall be cut in pieces: See Daniel 3:29

Tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof: Daniel both tells the dream and gives the interpretation by the power of God.

There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter .. except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh:

This cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise <men> of Babylon: All includes Daniel and his three friends.

A) TEST OF FAITH: {2:13} WISE MAN SLAIN IF CAN'T TELL DREAM

DANIEL COMPARISONS WITH JOSEPH:

B) CONFESSION OF FAITH: {2:16} DANIEL TELL DREAM/INTERPRET

Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation:

C) DELIVERANCE OF FAITH: {2:19, 27-45} GOD REVEALED SECRETS

The secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven: In general, dreams occurred at night and visions during the day.

God .. he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise .. He revealeth the deep and secret things:

Time & times & half time is last 3 & half years. God is sovereign. He is in complete control of His creation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

(1) But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; {Daniel 2:28}

() That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. {Daniel 4:25}

() And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. {Daniel 7:25}

() So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. {Daniel 8:17}

() And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. {Daniel 8:19}

() And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. {Daniel 8:23}

() In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. {Daniel 10:1}

() Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. {Daniel 10:14}

() At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. {Daniel 11:29}

() And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. {Daniel 11:35}

() And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. {Daniel 11:40}

() And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. {Daniel 12:1}

() But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. {Daniel 12:4}

() And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. {Daniel 12:7}

() And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. {Daniel 12:9}

() And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Daniel 12:11

(4) Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. {Daniel 3:29}

(8) He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. {Daniel 6:27}

(9) I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. {Daniel 8:4}

(11) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. {Daniel 12:1}

KEYWORD: PRAYER {DANIEL 6:10 – 9:21}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. {Daniel 6:10}

(2) Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. {Daniel 6:11}
