#2 - What We Learn from Daniel Before Reading Daniel

Before we dive into the prophecies and miracles in Daniel, we need to pause and understand how it begins — in exile. This episode looks at what God’s judgment on Judah teaches us about His character and His consistency. We explore the danger of casually saying “God ordained this leader,” when His purposes can bring either blessing or correction. We also examine the historical timelines — from solar years to the 360-day calendar — and reflect on what it meant for the people of God to be conquered by a pagan king. Daniel’s story doesn’t start in triumph; it starts in loss. And that’s where the real lessons begin.
