Narrative Lectionary 587: Preaching Series on Daniel - August 4 - September 1, 2024
Manage episode 430795757 series 66281
Linking both the court tales and the apocalypses is the God of Israel, who is portrayed as sovereign over all earthly and heavenly affairs. In the book of Daniel, God is described as the one who:
changes times and seasons, deposes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with him. (Daniel 2:21–22)
Throughout the book, Daniel is depicted as having a unique relationship with God and a special ability to discern and interpret the mysteries that God reveals. He is uniquely gifted in understanding and explaining the divine visions and messages that are central to the apocalyptic sections of the book.
By examining these five texts in detail, this commentary aims to provide a deeper understanding of the historical context, literary genres, and theological themes that are woven throughout the book of Daniel.
