Discuss Daniel 6

Ddjot,

Chris gave a good answer, I'd like to add to the discussion. Please note the verse right before, Jeremiah 29:11, Jeremiah 29:10, sometimes we want GOD to change our situations "right now", sometimes HE does, but I believe this promise, is for GOD's people when we need the encouragement for the troubled times & endurance in longer seasons. Notice in Daniel, he & his companions had went through many difficult moments but GOD in miraculous ways delivered them, protected them & even encouraged them. I believe it was after Daniel was thrown in the lions den that he fasted & humbly prayed about the promise made in Jeremiah 29:10,11, Daniel 9:1,2,3, still waiting on that promise of 70 years,

note Daniel 6:1,2,3, (for why I place the timing, seemingly after lions den) the noted scriptures referring to about Daniel's encouragement, & companions, some say "the greater the trial the greater the miraculous": Daniel 1:8,9,17, Daniel 2:12,13,17,23 Daniel 3:12-27, Daniel 4:19,24,25, Daniel 5, Daniel 6:7,10,16,22,28, Daniel 9:23, Daniel 10:11,12,18, Daniel 11:1,

Luke 10:19, there are moments that are painful but when we look at Salvation, the pruning, witness to strengthen the Body of Believers, then we realize it didn't "hurt us".

I hope these scriptures give you strength & hope= 1Peter 4:12,13, 2Corinthians 1:3-7, John 15:1-2, 1Corinthians 4:5, 2Corinthians 3:2, Zechariah 13:9, Malachi 3:3, 2Timothy 2:10, Psalms 30:5,

In correction= Isaiah 48:10,11, Malachi 3:2, Proverbs 3:11-35, Hebrews 12:7, 2Thessalonians 1:4,

Endure even undue trials= 2Timothy 2:3, 2Timothy 4:5, remember Timothy was with Paul in ministry during persecution. 1Peter 2:19, Mark 13:13, James 5:10,11,

James 5:13-18, 2Chronicles 7:14,

Hopefully these are helpful & encouraging

When studying & researching for these answers look into the WORD for other distinctive names, places ect. Notice:

Ezra 1,

King Cyrus, following Nebzzr. Then you can use search tools on website, for words. Isaiah 44:28, 2Chronicles 36:22,23, Daniel 1:21, Daniel 6:28,

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

I recommend going straight to the Bible. Today's verse on this website is perfect 2Chronicles 7:14,

Isaiah 58, Ezra 8:21, Daniel 9, Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:17-29, Joel 2:12,14,15, Acts 10:30-31, 1Corinthians 7:2-5, Matthew 6:16,17,18,

Esther 4, context begins in previous chapters including Esther 1, explaning her heritage & by wisdom they had kept it silent.

Daniel 6:18, Jonah 3:4-10, notice these two noted here were not known as Godly people yet even their fast was recognized & rewarded by GOD, repentance & humbling themselves, before GOD.

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

Hello,

1st want to address

The Earth is The LORD's & the fulness thereof! Psalms 24:1, Daniel 7:13-14, Romans 6:9,

Dominion GOD gave to mankind. Genesis 1:26,27,28,

War in Heaven: cast out, Revelation 12:7-17, persecution but not dominion, John 8:42-44, Revelation 20:7-15, Please read all of Chapter for context. Revelation 13, Revelation 20, deceiver like Genesis 3, James 4,

Psalms 145:1-13, Daniel 4:2,3,34, Daniel 6:26, Ephesians 1:17-23, Ephesians 6:11-18,

Hopefully these are helpful,

Please read the WORD, & study

Zechariah 1:1,

I believe you may be mistaken, not the Word of GOD

In my study I looked up the "Court"

The Court : Exodus 27, in the tabernacle, Exodus 40:20-33, the House: 1Kings 6:16-36, 1Kings 8:64, 2 Chronicles 4:6-22, Solomon made,

2Chronicles 24:18-27, Court, before captivity into Babylon, note Isaiah was prophesing of it, in 2 Chronicles,

Zechariah, Zacharias, etc. 2Chronicles 29:1, 2Kings 14:29, 2Kings 18:2 2Kings 15:8,11, even Luke 1:5,12,13,18,21,40,59,67,

There seems to be several men with same name, but Jesus specified "the son of Barachias" Zechariah 1:1, note: Luke 11:50-51, Matthew 23:31-39, 'between the temple & the alter '

Zechariah son of Berechaih was alive prophesing during the 2nd year of Darius, Zechariah 1:1, seemingly During: Daniel 6:1, Daniel 9:1, Daniel 11:1, the time of rebuilding, Ezra 4:24, Ezra 5:7, Ezra 6:13, Haggai 1:15, Haggai 2:10, Nehemiah 12:22,

Please note Zechariah 7:1, the house of The LORD was rebuilt & Zechariah approached their sin, Zechariah 7, he even speaks of the 70 years of captivity: Zechariah 7:5,

Hopefully these are helpful

Some preach fasting as a command because Jesus said "when, thou fastest" Matthew 6:16-21,

Sometimes people & Church congregations fast for closeness with GOD, to feel HIS presence, & clarity on direction from GOD: Matthew 9:15, Mark 2:19,20, Luke 5:34,35, Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:4, Nehemiah 1, (in context.), Daniel 9:2-3, 2Corinthians 6:4,5

Fasting & prayer to help deliver people from sin, addiction, mental illness, demonic oppression, Matthew 17:21, (context) Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:17-29,

1Samuel 7:3

1Corinthians 7:3-5,

Fasting for deliverance: 2Chronicles 20:1-30, Esther 4:3,16, in context: Esther 3:8-15, - Esther 4, Daniel 6:12-23, Joel 1:14, Joel 2:12,

Fasting in repentance, sometimes even after GOD's judgement : 1Samuel 7:2-17, 2Samuel 12:7-23, (do you think it was easier to except it because he was fasting? While others were perplexed?) 1Kings 21, note 1Kings 21:27-29, Jonah 3:5-10, Joel 2:15,

Also Isaiah 58,

Jesus fasted an extreme fast: Matthew 4:2,

When it says in: Matthew 10:8, Luke 10:9, Mark 16:17-18, can we do these things without fasting?

I believe there are too many scriptures about power in fasting, direction, deliverance & repentance to think lightly of.

Fasting is submission, Romans 13:7, Luke 20:25, Matthew 17:25-26,

Hopefully these are helpful

Hello Laurel. That would be a very difficult determination to make as not only are there many factors involved, but ultimately God alone is able to know & understand the person & his shortcomings & how that person stands before Him as a result.

Simply from a human standpoint & a Bible reader, I believe that if a person can understand error & personal sin, however young or infirmed he may be, if he can understand that sin violates God's design for him & brings him (& all men) before God in judgement, if he can understand the Gospel message that God sent His Son to die to make reparation & give him restoration, then a mental illness or any other infirmity cannot absolve him from guilt.

But this comes as a very cut & dry statement from me; God alone knows where a person is at, concerning understanding of himself, his actions & God's offer of salvation & spiritual healing. If you are enquiring about someone in this situation, by conversing with him you will know to what level he can understand his own behaviour & God's offer of spiritual healing. He would certainly need God's intervention in his life & man's restraints upon him if his acts against others or himself are dangerous. I realize that I write ignorantly based only on what you've shared, & don't mean to be callous towards anyone who is genuinely in a very difficult place to understand himself or spiritual things.

I want to know when a person has done wrong in this life and a lot of it was very wrong and they have a mental illness that clearly doesn't help their decision making process are they bound to hell because they can't completely devote themselves as their thoughts can not focus normally?

Daniel 7:27

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and ALL DOMINIONS shall serve and obey him.

Daniel 6:26

I make a decree, That in every DOMINION of my KINGDOM- men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and HIS KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

John 18:36

Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

***** Luke 17:21*****

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.

Luke 21:10

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

[mishael: every nation on earth is called, a kingdom. But none is called THE kingdom.

Gods kingdom exists in heaven and within every born again believer in Jesus Christ.

JOHN 3:3, 5. Jesus's own words about the ONE KINGDOM OF GOD.

If we're just going by what is written in this Biblical translation, it appears the chronological order is Daniel 1 being account of capture & being taught in the ways of the "Chaldeans". I likewise was studying Daniel recently & found interesting how the books are like that.

Daniel 1:1, Daniel 2:1, dates of significant recognition. 2 Kings 24:1-2,

Historical insight 2 Kings 24:3-16, this appears to be the time that brought Daniel & his friends into that place of capacity. Note they left the poor in the land 2 Kings 24:14,17,18 which may explain the historical reference mentioned by other comment. 2 Kings 25:8-12,

Stated 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar._._.

Please note Daniel 4:6-9,18, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged Daniel as "knowing the spirit of the holy" GOD was in him, therefore it shows Chpt 4 being after the first interpretation. Daniel 4:29, Daniel 4:23,

Daniel 5:11, Daniel 5:20-22, Daniel 5:31, Daniel 6:28,

Please note Daniel 7:1 it goes back to time of Daniel 5. Daniel 4, to Daniel 2, In some ways, not in the same vision but the statement in Daniel 2:47, So consistantly Daniel jumps back into moments within previous Chapters to add additional situations within those time frames

Daniel 1:20, chapter 2, could also explain this statement of why Daniel 1:20, states that.

Notice also in Daniel 5:10-14,

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

Sister Rebecca,

Esther 4:1-16

Esther 4:11, (the law was death sentence) with 1 exception) The king hadn't asked to see her for over 30days,

Esther 2:19

Also significant history : Daniel 1:1, They were captives of war

Esther 2:5-7, Esther 2:10, Daniel 9:1, Daniel 6:8, Daniel 6:16-17, Ezra 4:6-24,

Hopefully these are helpful in your study.

Daniel 6:22, may have been the significant inspiration for the painting, Daniel 6:21 was when Daniel respectively replied to the king. Daniel 6:1-28, only the artist knows the thoughts behind their work. I paint on occasion some have personal meaning, some symbolic, some are just practice, some are artist relief. Many are gifts. Hopefully that's somewhat helpful

What a shame such a great story was removed from the KJV bible after being used in the bible book for 274 years initially. Great to only now read about Daniels other events. Just to give clarity: This is clearly another event separate to the one mentioned in the book of Daniel. Daniel 6 described events under King Darius. This book described events under King Cyrus (who is also mentioned in Daniel 6:28 & 10:1). Very few know that Daniel was twice placed into a lions den by two different kings , in Daniel 6 for one day/night and here for 7 days together with the miraculous provision of food to Daniel in the den in this book. What a loss to all generations after removal , including my generation who knows absolutely nothing of this books events. Thank God for leading me to read this book and compare it with the book of Daniel.

That's a saying not a scripture. Check these out :D

Psalms 107:20 - He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.

Daniel 6:27 - 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.

John 14:26 - But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Psalms 149:4 - For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

Isaiah 12:2 - Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation.

Nahum 1:7 - The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Psalms 31:14-15 - But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God. (Read More...)

The Jews generally pray facing Jerusalem, as Muslims do facing Mecca. The Scripture that Jews use to support this is found in 1 Kings 8:35,36: "When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance".

Other supporting Scriptures: Daniel 6:10 and Psalm 5:7

When Jesus prayed, He looked up towards Heaven, even though He was in Jerusalem when He could have faced the Temple. ( John 17:1). Also, Luke 9:16. However, when the eyes of the Jews are opened & they see, recognize & put their faith in Jesus Christ, then their eyes will no longer be turned to Jerusalem.

God will always be with you even it seems like anybody can end you. God is a God of saving. He will always be there if you need help. He will never let u die in the presence of your enemies. People might be jealous of you but don't worry. God will always there. If you need help on a test, He will help you.

Daniel, or any person that is Born Twice does not have religion! They have a Relationship with God Almighty, Himself. Religion is man s trying to reach God! Daniel s Relationship with God was something out of this world. Yes, and so it ought to with us too however, we are not Sold-out-to God even a bit, like Daniel s 100 ? Look at his record: Fast:Pray: Find nothing: Make up False Rule:

This is NOT in line with what the KJV Bible says about Daniel. First, a King cannot be forced by his people to do anything. A Kingdom is not a democracy research what a Kingdom is . Next the Bible says that Daniel was in the lion's den for only 1 night Daniel 6:16-24 KJV. Just read the whole of Daniel 6. If you could read this then you can read 1 chapter in the bible.

The judgment here resides in Darius being shown his evil servants caused him to sin against Jesus as he witnessed Daniel totally surviving the lions den. A fire was kindled in the lions with Daniels stay in the den hungering them further so much to the extent of causing the lions to consume the accusers with their families. Darius was against sending Daniel to the lions den.

Daniel's faith in the greatness of his God so convinced the King that the King expected Daniel to be unharmed. He went out early in the morning and called out to Daniel before he saw him. Our actions should convince others to believe and trust in the one true God.

It's a great chapter, which teaches us to put our trust in God completely and He'll fight for us.

In all your ways acknowledge God and he will see us through we should pray without ceasing pray continually.

Constantine issued a similar decree as Darius in 400AD - however many Christians were actually devoured by Lions in the Colliseum. So, even if the Lions actually devour you, be encouraged..the powers that be will eventually come around

(The rule of kings Nebuchadnezzar

Great chapter about commitment to the Lord and God's deliverance in time of trouble.

Verse 10~Even though Daniel could have prayed privately, he wanted all to know that he was going to serve God and continue his spiritual routine no matter what man made law was made.

God will deliver us from our adversary Satan, the roaring lion ( 1 Peter 1:8). This is a fulfilment of Proverbs 11:8, "The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead." Daniel is an example of a true sanctification: even his enemies could not find any fault in him, "forasmuch as he was faithful".

When we fear and obey ALMIGHTY GOD, HE will cover us with HIS LOVE. ALMIGHTY IS THE GREATEST ALWAYS AND FOREVER MORE. There is no limit to HIS STRENGTH and GREATNESS. Amen!!

Plead

Trusting in God when things are bad or good is the right way to live. having an unbroken relationship with him his important, because you will know that whatever come he will hide you under his wings of love.
