This book takes you on the 80-plus-year journey of the Prophet Daniel, filling in details not found in the book of Daniel from the Old Testament and historical records. Our journey begins with a fascinating story of the Hebrew captives taken from Jerusalem to Babylon and forced into King Nebuchadnezzar's service. Yet, this is not only a story about Hebrew slaves. It is also the story of how the God of Heaven rules in the lives of men and returns His people to their homeland. This book uses reasoned arguments and historical writings to clarify and justify the events found in Daniel's narratives, which reveal a loving God working for His wayward, rebellious people. Even so, the lessons learned are not just ancient stories of the past. They have timeless lessons, impactful messages, and heavenly insight for us in the 21st century.
