The Bible Book of Daniel contains the amazing account of a Hebrew man, Daniel, who suffered much at the hands of the enemies of Israel. Daniel saw his homeland invaded and conquered by an overwhelming army of ruthless soldiers who killed his people without mercy or remorse. He saw his capital city of Jerusalem sacked, burned to the ground and utterly destroyed. He saw the Holy Temple of God, the center of Jewish religious worship, looted and left in ruins. Both he and those who survived the invasion were taken captive to a land far off from home where he was forced to learn a heathen language, dress in heathen clothing, learn the customs of a heathen people, and serve the heathen king who commanded and orchestrated the destruction and defilement of his holy city, his people, and his family. And yet, for all that, Daniel did not waver in his faith and trust in God. His horrific circumstances did not embitter him against the Lord. Daniel never said, 'Why did this happen to me?”. Because Daniel knew and believed the Holy Scriptures, he knew that this was God's righteous judgment against a disobedient and gainsaying people. How about you Christian? Do bad circumstances in your life cause you to trust God less and depart from the faith? You and I will likely never suffer as Daniel suffered. Daniel had everything taken away from him. Yet he purposed in his heart to love and serve God in spite of his evil circumstances. --- In the following video, Pastor James Knox preaches *****AN EXCELLENT AND VERY, VERY, VERY ENCOURAGING MESSAGE***** from the Word of God, (the Bible), in which he talks about all of this concerning the prophet Daniel.
