Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.Īnd Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king’s court."
"Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and worshipped (sagid) Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and incense. Once Daniel gives the interpretation, the king worships Daniel. In part three (25:50-end), Tim and Jon go over the two dreams that Nebuchadnezzar has leading up to Daniel 7. He refuses the forbidden food and therefore passes the test. Daniel has an opportunity to eat the forbidden food of the king and break his kosher diet. Tim’s point is that Daniel is the forbidden fruit that the king of Babylon has just taken. 1) and only increases in wisdom! Instead, he adopts an Eden-diet of veggies and water and is elevated to serve in the king’s court. He refuses the forbidden food (Daniel ch. Among them were sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.but Daniel set it upon his heart to not defile himself with the king’s choice food or his wine…"ĭan 1:12: "Daniel said, 'Let there be given to us from the seeds, and we will eat, and water, and we will drink.'"ĭaniel is depicted as a new Adam, who is brought into Babylon already having great knowledge. Daniel is the "royal seed" carried away to Babylon who replays the test of Adam and Eve and succeeds!ĭaniel 1:3-4: "And the king of Babylon told his officers to bring from the sons of Israel and from the royal seed… youths.who were good of sight and wise with all wisdom, and knowing knowledge, and understanding knowledge…"ĭan 1:5-7: "And the king assigned for them a daily ration of the king’s choice food and his wine, to raise them for three years so they could stand in his service. Tim points out a few hyperlinks to other parts of the Hebrew Bible at the beginning of the book of Daniel. He dominated Jerusalem and took their promising youth with him to Babylon. Babylon had long been dormant while Assyria was the world superpower, but Babylon had a brief rise to prominence again under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar. He was a king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, a sort of resurgence of the previous Babylonian rule. In part two (6:30-25:50), the guys go over the history of the Babylonian Empire and King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 7 is significant because it’s a culminating vision of the whole Hebrew Bible imagery told in one very dense chapter. Tim explains that in order to fully understand the Son of Man imagery in Daniel 7, Daniel 1-6 needs to first be unpacked. In part one (0:00-6:30), the guys briefly go over the previous conversations from the Son of Man series.
