What <strong>the</strong> New Testament Says About Daniel:<br />

The Lord Jesus spoke <strong>of</strong> Daniel in Mat<strong>the</strong>w 24:15.<br />

Jesus referred to Daniel 9:27 and 11:31 in that verse.<br />

St. Paul describes <strong>the</strong> man <strong>of</strong> sin in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 and Hebrews 11:33- 34 (three<br />

Hebrews in fire).<br />

Conclusion:<br />

Daniel was taken to Babylon at about 19 or 20 years <strong>of</strong> age. He lived <strong>the</strong>re through<br />

<strong>the</strong> third year <strong>of</strong> Cyrus. He must have lived <strong>the</strong>re no less than 72 yeas. It could have<br />

been longer. All <strong>of</strong> his life, he spoke <strong>of</strong> God in a land <strong>of</strong> captivity.<br />

The secret <strong>of</strong> Daniel‘s victorious life is prayer.<br />

All that God told Daniel to say came to pass except what is yet to come to pass.<br />

Daniel was a man whom God could use to outline <strong>the</strong> ages to come.<br />

If Jesus au<strong>the</strong>nticated <strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> Daniel, we should never doubt his prophecy.<br />

In Daniel 4:17, 25 and32, we see <strong>the</strong> declaration <strong>of</strong> God to be true.<br />

Applications:<br />

Practice prayer as a source <strong>of</strong> strength to every youth like Daniel.<br />

Practice fasting as Daniel and <strong>the</strong> three young men did and became better in<br />

appearance than all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r eunuchs.<br />
