Better than Magic (Bible Studies for new Christians Book 1)

BETTER THAN MAGIC -- the prophecies of Daniel.
Prophet Daniel was of royalty blood in Israel. He was taken captive to Babylon. But God's was on him. He was a prophet called by the true God in heaven.

God told the Prophet Daniel that a time would come when, "The great prince Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time every one of your people whose name is found written in the book of life will be saved. There are many who are dead and buried. Some of them will wake up and live forever, but others will wake up to shame and disgrace forever. The wise people will shine as bright as the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever. “But you, Daniel, keep this message a secret. You must close the book and keep this secret until the time of the end. Many people will go here and there looking for true knowledge, and the true knowledge will increase.”
Then I, Daniel, noticed two other men. One man was standing on my side of the river, and the other was standing on the other side. The man who was dressed in linen was standing over the water in the river. One of the two men said to him, “How long will it be before these amazing things come true?”
The man dressed in linen and standing over the water lifted his right and left hands toward heaven. And I heard him make a promise using the name of God who lives forever. He said, “It will be for three and one-half years. The power of the holy people will be broken, and then all these things will finally come true.”
I heard the answer, but I really did not understand. So I asked, “Sir, what will happen after all this comes true?”
He answered, “Go on about your life Daniel. The message is hidden. It will be a secret until the time of the end. Many people will be made pure—they will make themselves clean. But evil people will continue to be evil. And those wicked people will not understand these things, but the wise people will understand them.
“The daily sacrifice will be stopped. There will be 1290 days from that time until the time that the terrible thing that destroys is set up. The one who waits for and comes to the end of the 1335 days will be very happy. “As for you, Daniel, go and live your life until the end. You will get your rest. At the end you will rise from death and receive your share of the promise.”

Everyone has heard about Daniel in the lion's den. Or at least they should have. But Daniel was so much more.

Daniel had powerful things to say about the future which has not come to pass yet. We need to all know what the Bible has to say about the end of this age. It is in God's Word for us to search out.

Daniel predicted the day that Jesus would offer himself to the Jews as their king, but they did not recognize their day of his visitation. Two thousand years has passed since then.

Knowing the future is a job that belongs to God alone. But he revealed these truths to special holy men, like Daniel. Now Bible students are searching it out. This is an introduction for people who have never studied this before.

This is a chapter by chapter look at the Book of Daniel.

The story starts with Daniel and his three friends being taken as captives to Babylon. The book has amazing stories that cover several years of the life of Daniel, He was an old man at the end. The verses included are from the KJV.
