Daniel 8:7, 27

When God gave the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel exclaimed, “Praise be to the name of God forever and ever; wisdom and power belong to Him. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings." In this plan, we will study kingdoms of the past and future revealed in the Bible.

Study the book of Daniel with theStory. There is nothing quite like the book of Daniel anywhere else in the Bible. Half of it is taken up with stories about Jews in Babylonian and Persian courts, the other half with dreams and visions. This 2 week Book Study of Daniel covers chapters 1-9 (the last 3 chapters are really hard for devotional reflection - but you’ll see on day 14 we give suggestions for further study).

Just as shelves bring order to a closet, this Bible plan builds a powerful framework to clarify and connect our understanding of the events of the Bible as a whole. Each day becomes a shelf—organizing epic moments, unforgettable characters, the unfolding drama of God’s Word. Together, we will step into His unrelenting redemptive plan as our own story is woven into the Lord’s glorious plan.

The book of Daniel chronicles the stories and visions of the exiled prophet during his life in Babylon. Although faced with devastating exile, the characters of Daniel choose to be faithful to God no matter the cost. Daniel’s life and visions remind us that God Himself orders peoples, nations, and history, orchestrating His people’s redemption and His imminent return.
