Summary of Readings
§
Daniel
was taken captive to Babylon when just a teen-ager, but was selected as one of
the brighter students and offered special training
§
Although
Daniel was trained in the ways of the Babylonians, he retained his personal
relationship with God and the ways in which he grew up
§
Daniel
was recognised as being wise, and as having wisdom by the king, and later by
the king’s son
§
Through
Daniel God revealed a lot about the kingdoms that would rule in this world
through the ages
§
The
ultimate Kingdom to be established will be the Kingdom of God on Earth in the
last days – which Kingdom was planned from the foundation of the world
§
Those
who are wise today will be seeking to develop a relationship with God, and to
present themselves wholly to Him in spirit and soul and body, to be ready for
the return of Jesus Christ to this earth to establish God’s Kingdom here.
