Fairy Tale Spotlight: Daniel [Book Review]

"Daniel" is the twenty-seventh book of the "Holy Bible," and it apparently was written by Daniel himself. The reason I use the word "apparently" is because I was a little confused about a particular chapter written by Nebuchadnezzar himself, but my research assures me that the actual writer of the chapter was Daniel. I actually do not know for sure. I try and find out these things, but I usually take much of the wisdom of these learned men with a grain of salt. They could be wrong. How about we just not worry about it.

Daniel marks the moment the Bible picks back up a hero's narrative since the book of "Nehemiah" happened. It's been a long road, but I finally got here. How long has it been since God really loved someone? Well here it is, and his name is Daniel.

What's strange here is that Daniel is actually treated quite well by God in stark contrast to Jeremiah and Ezekiel. This feels a bit more like the story of Joseph which happened, what feels like, ages ago. No kidding; the Bible is a loooooong book. But here we have a captured Jew that becomes a prince among the heathens, and on top of that, he is a prophet.

And what a prophet! He could see angels, the future of kings, and even to the end of time itself. Not bad! Although he had difficulty understanding these things, the point was that he would write them down for posterity.

One thing very interesting about this book is that is shows that God will give power to who He wants. This story takes place finally after the Jews have been captures by Babylon. God chose the heathens to rule over them, but He also wanted them to know that He was real. And He does. Three men living in a hot furnace and one living in a lion's den. None of them came to harm. Things like that can change a person.

But as the book clearly shows, nothing lasts forever. All sins must be accounted for. And it was clear that God was going to give the Jews their kingdom back. I did like this book and I recommend it. It is very brief and it shows that after all those horrible things that God is willing to do, He is still in control and can still find certain persons in the world that are dear to Him. I'm glad I read it.
