Title: The Outstanding Man (Daniel 06:1-4)
Contents Joo Kyung-ga Baker said that the book of Daniel was superior in many ways.
Because Daniel's own morality is exemplary
Because his personality is exemplary
because his faith is exemplary
Because his book foretold the judgment of history and the coming of the Messiah.
His prophecy was precisely fulfilled by the coming of the Messiah.
“Hankschtenberg” said, “The book of Daniel is one of the most important books of the Old Testament.”
Daniel was a young nobleman who was taken into captivity when the southern kingdom of Judah was destroyed by the Babylonian invasion in 586 B.C. His faith and life remained exemplary and practical throughout.
The name Daniel means “God is my judgment”.
As the meaning of the name suggests, Daniel's life was always about standing proudly before God's judgment seat.
1. He was agile at heart.
Verse 3 says, “Daniel was agile in heart, and he excelled over princes and princes, so the king set him up to rule over the whole country.”
The king of Babylon divided his kingdom into 120 provinces, and appointed one prince for each province to rule over that province. In the reign of King Ahasuerus, the number was increased to 127 provinces (Esther 1:1).
And three prime ministers were appointed to oversee 120 provinces. Of the three prime ministers, Daniel was chosen as the chief prime minister. This is surprising.
Daniel is not a politician from Babylon. He has been taken captive. And in a situation where people who are jealous and jealous of him are everywhere, he was appointed Prime Minister because of his agility and agility.
He never paid a bribe for adoption or career, no lobbies, no lines. However, he was a man of great ability, judgment, and drive, which earned him the king's favor.
It was a gift from God to have an agile heart that made him an outstanding man. God gave him an agile heart and clear judgment.
However, he was not a person who kept up with the market with his agility or cleverness and stood in line with the trend.
he was taken captive to Babylon
