God Gave

God gave the Kingdom of Judah into the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar, but He also equipped Daniel for service in the Court of Babylon . The Book of Daniel presents insights into the future that emphasize the rise and fall of empires. This includes “ times of tribulation ” when the people of God endure persecution by pagan rulers. The Book also declared that God willed the downfall of the Jewish kingdom. He “ gave ” the Babylonian king sovereignty over Judah.
