GOD IS

SALVATION



Isaiah's calling as a prophet was primarily to the nation of Judah (the southern kingdom) and toJerusalem, urging the people to repent from their sins and return to God. He also foretold the comingof the Messiah and the salvation of the Lord. Many of his prophesies predicted events that occurred in

Isaiah's near future, yet at the same time they foretold the events of the distant future (such as thecoming of the Messiah), and even some events still to come in the last days (such as the second

coming of Christ).





















GOD WILL RAISE UP

GOD WILL SET FREE

















LAMENTATION-

COMMENCEMENT OF THESONG OF WAILING























After being taken captive to Babylon, Daniel and his three

friends (Shadrach, Meshach, andAbednego) keep the lawand enter the king's service. In matters of wisdom,literature, and learning are judged "ten times better thanall the magicians and enchanters in the kingdom". Daniel,moreover, has a unique talent for interpreting dreams andvisions.



Daniel is elevated to a pre-eminent position under Darius which elicits the jealousy of

other officials. Knowing of Daniel's devotion to his God, these officials trick the king intoissuing an edict forbidding worship of any other god or man for a 30 day period.

Because Daniel continues to pray three times a day to God towards Jerusalem, he is

accused and king Darius, forced by his own decree, throws Daniel into the lions' den.

God shuts up the mouths of the lions and the next morning king Darius finds Daniel

unharmed and casts his accusers and their families into the lions' pit where they are

instantly devoured.



Daniel's companiansAnanias (Hananiah/Shadrach),Azariah(Abednego), and Mishael (Meshach) refuse to bow to the emperor's golden statue and are thrown into a furnace.As seen by Nebuchadnezzar, a f ourth figure appears in the furnace with the three andGod is credited f or preserving

them from the flames.



The four visions of chapters seven to twelve consist of four visions focusing on

a fearsome future king who attacks the "saints", and the city and temple of Jerusalem; in contrast to the earlier chapters, they are introduced in the firstperson. One feature of this section is Daniel's reliance on heavenly figures to

interpret and explain his visions.The historical setting of the first chaptersdoes not appear, except in the form of regnal dates. Chapter seven is written

inAramaic while chapters eight to twelve are in Hebrew.This section of Daniel contains the first references to the "kingdom of God" in Jewishscripture, and the first overt reference to the resurrection of the dead.
