The book of Daniel
Daniel means “GOD IS JUDGE” .Daniel lived during a time when the Jewish people had little hope. They were living as captives in Babylon, hundreds of miles from home, with only promises from God that they would ever see their homeland again. Daniel and his friends were taken to Babylon as young men. Although they were captives, they received great education and climbed the ladder to high positions in Babylonian and Persian governments. Because of their faith in God , they were persecuted and even sentenced to die. But God rewarded them for their faithfulness, and they were rescued from certain death. Daniel had several encounters with King Nebuchadnezzar, and God Revealed his power each time. Daniel and his friends provided encouragement to the Jews to remain faithful to God in the midst of persecution.
