β Biography
Daniel was taken to Babylon as a youth during Jehoiakim's reign. He refused to defile himself with the king's food, maintaining dietary laws. God gave him ability to interpret dreams, raising him to high position. He interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the statue and the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast. Daniel prophesied the Seventy Weeks and the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He survived the lion's den through faith, and King Darius decreed all honor his God.
