A Peep in Daniel
When Jehoiakim was on the throne Daniel was taken captive. With many others he was taken to Babylon. He and three of his companions were placed in the kings service. Here they were taught the Babylonian way of doing business.
It is interesting to note that there are quite a few similarities between Daniel and Joseph.
Both taken captive in their youth.
Served in the ruling monarchs court.
Were set up and judged unfairly.
Became successful through their troubles.
Received promotion due to dreams and interpretations thereof.
Lived a godly life amongst the wicked.
Both died in a foreign land.
Daniel had been given something special by God. He was able to see further ahead than any other prophet. Daniel had seen the coming of Christ, and more.
