Daniel teaches us how we can remain faithful to God even when we are surrounded by other religions and systems of belief. Daniel speaks to the challenge of being in the world but not of the world (see John 17:16). Also, Daniel’s visions of the end show us that just as God ruled over the life and times of Daniel, God continues to rule over the world today. These visions assure us that God is in control and that we can trust in Him. They give us vibrant hope so that we can fulfill our mission as faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ until He returns. Even in the face of difficult challenges, we can live faithfully in the light of the end, as we look for the “blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13 NKJV).Upon completing Daniel: A Path to Faithful Witness the reader will be able to:• Discover the message of Daniel and its relevance for today.• Discern the power of the Holy Spirit to guide and protect believers.• Devote oneself to the spiritual pursuit of God’s presence.• Disciple oneself and others in the patience, faith, and encouragement found in Daniel.
