Daniel's story at the end of deconstructing King Cyrus religion of Bel was just sort of frustrating. He sort of acts as a less likeable Socrates, debunking traditional religion of foreigners while smuggling his own religion and values in. Just sort of dumb, at least the earlier prophetic writing is pretty excellent. Particularly the imagery with Alexander the Great. Anyway, better than Ezekiel at least.

Sidenote: The reason for such vague and short and "eh" words on each of these books, is because I wasn't challenging the study of the Bible when I read these. I was challenging myself to read the whole Bible in a year because I knew it would be discipline to keep at it daily. I do, however, plan to pick up a book and study what it is saying. Those will be longer reads and more notes.

So here is my review from my "Read the Bible in a Year" challenge. Usually just snippets of thoughts and random things I liked about the book itself. Nothing in-depth.

So here is my review of Daniel.

Remember that story of Radshack, Meshack, and Abednego? This is where that story lives which is such a powerful one to read. I encourage everyone to read this book.

"I was watching in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven!" 7,13

Gotta love this book. I love the story about Daniel in the lions den, and how God was always watching over him in every conflict. I also love the visions where Gabriel and/or Michael appears.

I liked this one quite a bit since it had a lot of story to it.

Daniel was able to interpret a lot ad there was a lot of prophecy which can be offputting for many...but I enjoyed it!

The part about God cooking the fiery furnace for Reshac, Meshach, and Abadnego clicked for me since I had sang it in choir class years ago and had zero free of reference before.

God also delivered Daniel from the lions den and that was neat.
