Jerusalem does not fall because Babylon is stronger than Judah’s God. It falls because Judah’s God hands the city over. That sentence opens Daniel and holds the book together.
This post introduces Lesson 2—the lecture audio, the study notes, and the truth we need before lions’ dens or fiery furnaces.
The lecture moves through the Text, the Truth, and the Transformation. It sets Daniel 1:1–7 in Judah’s fall, traces Babylon’s court policy, and asks what it means that God “gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand.”
