Daniel 1 B. 1:2 3) Zedekiah also listens to false prophets and rebels against Babylon C. 1:3 1) The term official = Rab-saris (chief of the eunuchs) -Potiphar was a saris not a eunuch -Ethiopian Eunuch not a eunuch 29

59

60 II. Daniel 1 C. 1:3 2) Daniel was probably of the royal line 3) This would keep the vassal state in line 4) They took the best of the culture they conquered 5) sons of Israel not sons of Judah Daniel 1:4 "4youths in whom was no defect, who were goodlooking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for serving in the king s court; and he ordered him to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. 30

61

62 II. Daniel 1 D. 1:4 1) Qualifications: -intelligent -good-looking -flawless 2) Privileges: -given the best education and best food possible Daniel 1:5 "5The king appointed for them a daily ration from the king s choice food and from the wine which he drank, and appointed that they should be educated three years, at the end of which they were to enter the king s personal service. 31

63

64 II. Daniel 1 E. 1:5 1) They were given a privileged education 2) They were offered the king's diet 3) They were well trained Daniel 1:6-7 "6Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego. 32

65

66 II. Daniel 1 F. 1:6-7 1) DANIEL (God is Judge or God is my Judge) changed to BELTESHAZZAR (The god Bel favors) 2) HANANIAH (Beloved of Yahweh) changed to SHADRACH (Illuminated by the Sun God) II.

68 1 John 2:16 "16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 34

69

70 II. Daniel 1 F. 1:6-7 5) How difficult would this have been for them? a. they were facing the most powerful ruler in the history of mankind b. Giving in would please everyone around them c. this could torpedo future prospects d. the temptations did not appear to be harmful II. Daniel 1 F. 1:6-7 e. they would be tempted to think: -why should we bother being faithful to God? Was He faithful to us? -the king is our rightful authority -these are not normal circumstances -we re far from home-no one will know -we re just kids 35

71

72 II. Daniel 1 F. 1:6-7 6) Temptations are tests -the Greek and Hebrew words are the same for both testing and tempting -Satan tempts to sin -God tests faith Some verses on testing and temptations: James 1:2-3: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 36

73

74 Some verses on testing and temptations: 1 Peter 3:17: For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. Some verses on testing and temptations: 1 Corinthians 10:13: No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 37

75

76 But Daniel purposed in his heart Questions What does it mean to purpose in your heart? What did it mean for Daniel to do this? What are the most potent causes for temptation in our world today? What should our response be to temptation what strategies (or elements of preparation) will help give us victory over temptation? How might we get to the place where we can consider it all joy when we encounter various trials? 38
