At the end of Daniel, we read about his third and final vision. What is clear about each vision is that even though things will get bad, there is always hope.

In Daniel 9, we read about Daniel realizing that the time of exile is almost over. But surprisingly, he isn’t happy about it. But Daniel knows that all exiles need to be rescued.

In Daniel 7 and 8, Daniel sees visions of the future and it terrifies him. In these confusing texts, we can see something very clear: we are called to commit to God in the already/not yet.

Daniel remained faithful no matter what. Even in the midst of the den. How was Daniel able to remain faithful? Because he pre-decided, prepared, and proclaimed his faithfulness.

We all have a pride problem. In Daniel 4 and 5, we see two different responses of God’s intervention to pride and two different ways that we can respond to the finger of God in our life.

Daniel 3 tells us the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendigo, exiles who would not conform or become compliant but would stay true to their convictions. Exiles eventually go into the furnace, but we never go in alone.

In Daniel 2, Daniel interprets King Nebuchadnezzer’s dream. Through this interpretation, we learn that all kingdoms, including our own, will surrender to God’s kingdom.

Do you ever feel like you don’t belong? Do you ever feel like an outsider? Maybe it is because we are called to be an exile. The book of Daniel shows us exactly how to be a godly person in a godless culture.
