Daniel

I read the book of Daniel last night and wondered about a few things.

1. What was it like to study and prepare for three years as the Jewish captives?

2. What would have it been like to have guards show up with orders to kill you, and you have no idea why? What would my reaction have been? Would I have believed that God would tell me the dream?

3. What would have it been like to rule the kingdom for all those years? Daniel was a very old man when he was thrown into the lions den. He had basically been a very powerful man for many, many years.

4. Who did Daniel and the three who were thrown into the furnace marry? Did they have children?

5. How did the kingdom function when the king went crazy for seven years (or time periods)?

6. Did God perform any other miracles or especially gift Daniel in a supernatural way other than what was recorded?
