Set against the backdrop of Babylonian captivity around 600 years before Jesus, Daniel faces immense pressure to conform to the new culture imposed upon him. Despite being taken captive to Babylon and experiencing drastic changes in his surroundings, language, and customs, Daniel remains steadfast in his faith and devotion to God.

Through Daniel's example, we're encouraged to remain steadfast in our faith amidst changing cultural norms and pressures. The Christian must maintain their character and integrity in the face of adversity, trusting in God's guidance and providence to navigate through life's challenges.

The takeaways: 
-Don’t let your circumstances change your view of God. Let God change your view of your circumstances.
-Refuse to allow your culture to rewrite your character.
