Notes
just as he had done before: Daniel's regular prayer time helped him worship God daily.
Jerusalem was God's chosen city (1 Kings 11:36). Even though the temple was gone, forgetting Jerusalem was unthinkable (Psalm 137:5–6). Someday, the temple would be rebuilt (Isaiah 2:2–4; 44:28).
God saved and freed his loyal servant Daniel (Daniel 5:23; 6:20), but Belshazzar's lifeless gods could not help him.
This section contains stories and dreams from the experiences of Daniel and his friends in Babylon. Daniel used his special gift to understand dreams and showed great skill in the study of literature and science (Daniel 1:17). Chapter 2 provides a broad overview of history until God's kingdom appears (Daniel 2:44–49). Daniel 3–6 describes the fall of Babylon and the rise of Persia. History is moving toward a clear goal. That goal is the everlasting kingdom of God (Daniel 2:44; 4:2–3, 34; 6:26).
