DISCOVERIES IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL

Chris, I love the Bible, especially when it is brought out clearly, as you did in this video. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to
use you.

[LeahRichards]

The ten days being linked to the Day of Atonement and Daniel choosing who judged him is fascinating! Thank you so much, Chris!

[chukwuebuka]

In Daniel 1:20, is says the king found the men 10 times better then all the other magicians after this exercise. I believe there is a correlation

[claytonmkombe]

I love this explanation... spirituality must go together with knowledge of how and why certain things occurred.

[reeferfranklin]

Well, thank you sir, you just helped me decide when to practice this 10-day fast each year...from Yom Teruah (Tishrei 1) to Yom Kippur...much obliged, kind Christian.

[dracon]

The parallelism between the vessels and the youths is very interesting, both considered here as spoils of war. I probably never would have thought about it without your video. Thanks once again for unraveling details like this.

[thabisoseth]

Youth - vessels, the 10 days (double entendre) Mind blowing, God bless your ministry!

[NthatengSmaye]

Thank so much for information, , now I know why Daniel fasted and we call Daniel fasting thank you

[lucasdiemer]

Hey, Chris!
Thank you so much for these insights. I agree 100% with you: If it’s in the Bible, there is a reason or a purpose behind. Sometimes we forget to see the Bible texts as literature. Although everything was inspired by God, there were writers, using metaphors, stylistic devices, hyperboles, word play and even irony. To be honest, I heard many people say that Daniel asked for vegetables in order to establish a plant-based diet. This can’t be true, but what could make sense is that the jews were very cautious with meat offered to idols (This was even a thing centuries later during the council of Jerusalem.), so having access to vegetables, they could avoid meeting this problem and, at the same time, find good nutrition, and God could work through them.

When you mentioned 10 days, the first thing I thought of is the number of tribulation days for Smyrna in Revelation 2:10. 🙏🏽

[abigailmpofu]

Brilliant.
You are a very fast speaker..try to slow down a bit...remember you are speaking to some whose first language is not English.
Receive this in good spirit.
Thanks l was blessed

My dear Brother Chris Noah's Flood in Genesis 7:11 began on Cheshvan 17 and he and his Family left The Ark A Year and 10 days later, on this month in November 18 The 17 of Cheshvan falls and 10 days later on The 28th, La DANA from Spain it's been scheduled for Central America Region and it'll last for 10 days, Blessings...

[reeferfranklin]

Now I just need to figure out when to do a Daniel 10 three-week fast...I know it says it was in the third year of the reign of Cyrus, when Daniel went into a mourning fast for the first three weeks of the year, including Passover...I wonder if that means Passover was in the middle of it, at the beginning of it, how you break the fast at the end of it...I'll have to think on it, I suppose.

[johngaspar]

I thought about this and I have come to the conclusion that Daniel picked 10 because it is the number of the lost tribes of Israel - he was doing in honour of them. Daniel was a Jew: the levites and Benjaminites were incorprated into the Jews leaving ten that were taken away captive by the Assyrians before.

[alvinvaughn]

Took a while just to get to the 10 day bit

[kataiwannhn]

In fact, worshiping Nebuchadnezzar would be incompatible with Jewish faith, and while we're on the topic of commandments, there are ten of them too. So can't it be a reference to the commandment theme that runs through the entire book of Daniel? Even the chapter division of the book is based on this, although probably not immediately or uncontroversially recognizable. So, Chapter 1 is about worshiping the right God, so I would say that thematically it fits with the first commandment.
P.S. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. (Deu 8:3 ESV)
