Help!I am confused after I read book of Daniel chapter 2&3,i want to know if Daniel bowed to the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar while his three friends refused to bow down because it was stated that none was exempted from the dedication of which Daniel was among the prime ministers of the King.
I also read Jeremiah 27&28 which is related to Daniel 2&3,this made me more confused because if Daniel had bowed down,he wouldn't have openly prayed to God when all nation was ordered not to pray.
Please i want to learn.

Mama put joint.

good question

Righteousness89:
The Bible is our Guide and the Bible didn't mention about Daniel in that Episode..

This is my take as a Student of the Bible;

In Chapter 2 after Daniel Accurately interpreted the King dream, He was given accelerated Promotion and was made The RULER OVER THE WHOLE PROVINCE OF BABYLON AND CHIEF OF THE GOVERNORS ( Daniel 2:48).
Daniel was what we Call Vice President today. Only Nebuchadnezzar was above Him.

He Post was Exempted from that order..

God bless you sir..That is exactly how i explained it to somebody but the person proves to know all.

Firstly there is no Danyal Sapiens. It is Danyal Erectus that has his record in the BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY. The story of Daniel in the Bible is just a brought forward of events which happened in the past world. However, the BOOK has an answer for this question in the reality.

Danyal 9: 1- 44
1. A time came when Nebuchadnezzar the king was bothered, for many homos in his land worshipped different gods. And there was much fighting in the land among the worshippers.
2. For while some worshipped Mazda, some said Ereshkigal was their god. And some worshipped the images of Enki, for they have heard that he was friendly while he was on earth.
3. And some worshipped the image of Ishtar and of Moloch and of Yeshua and of Mardukai. And great fight ensued among the people, so much that Nebuchadnezzar thought to unify the people.
4. And Nebuchadnezzar said, only one god shall be worshipped in my kingdom and his image have I made as large as half my tower.
5. Now when you shall fall down to worship any god, come before the image of Mardukai which I have made. For he was the last of all the gods before me. For I would have made myself a god over you also, but I did not, because I do not need your noise, calling upon me to help you do even little things which you could have done yourselves.
6. Now take your problems to Mardukai, for he has also gone into the heavens to make your requests known to his ancestors. And they shall answer you.
7. Now the king wrote, saying, no other god shall be accepted in my regime except Mardukai. And anyone who worship other gods shall be destroyed in the fire. For only Mardukai is god and every other gods you here about are but the products of your imagination.
8. Therefore, take your requests to the gods through Mardukai. For he is the only way by which you can reach the gods which are our ancestors.
9. Now Nebuchadnezzar sent his people into many places, saying, gather all they who worship any other god and destroy them. For Mardukai is the only god and Ishtar is both his mother and his wife.
10. Now all the priests of the other gods came, saying, why do you do these, O king? And Nebuchadnezzar said, this kingdom is divided in worship. And the bloodshed of this land is much in their diversity of worship.
11. Now let only one of the gods be adopted, and that shall be the one which I also worship.
12. Then all the priests submitted to his sayings, because he was the king. Now king Nebuchadnezzar collected all the scrolls which many had written concerning their gods and picked the things which were good in them and added them to his own scroll about Mardukai his god.
13. And he made only one story of Mardukai and of Ishtar through Melza, for there were before many different stories about them.
14. For some believed that Mardukai was the son of Ishtar, while some said they were even couple. And some said there were two Ishtars, one the mother of Mardukai and the other is the wife of Mardukai.
15. Now the king said to all those who were the rulers in his kingdom, you shall sign this thing which I have made. And these stories shall be read in their ears often in the temple of Mardukai and Ishtar.
16. And they shall meditate on these stories until they have made it part of their lives. And in their dreams shall they see some elements of Mardukai and they shall believe him.
17. This is good, for it shall bring unity among them all.
18. Now all they in the palace appended their signs upon the things which Melza had written by the order of Nebuchadnezzar, except four of us.
19. And the king said, O Danyal, if you do not agree with this thing which I have written, shall you not be burnt up in the fire like all they who refused it before?
20. Then I said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king of kings, I shall not put my sign upon that which I know that is not true. For it is not good to use lies to correct lies. For generations to come shall one day dig into the truth and find it. Then shall I also be named among the greatest liars on earth.
21. Now O king, let me be out of this, for I shall not append my signature on it.
22. Then the king said, if you shall not support me, then it is certain that you are against me and against the welfare of this kingdom. Then the king turned to the other three who also did not agree with him. For they also had shared in my belief. And the three of them were Shadrak of Philistia, Abdengr of Ethiopia and Meshak of Mesoposh.
23. And the king cast us into prison, saying that on a particular date shall he cast us in the fire and burn us all for rebellion.
24. Now while the day drew close, we continued to meditate. And we all imagined that we were set free. But in the reality, we all remained in the prison, bound.
25. Now Meshak said, I saw in my meditation that a god came to save us in the fire, for he covered us with a ray of light which the fire could not penetrate.
26. But you Danyal did I not see among us. For I do not know where you were. Now Danyal tell me if you are a god yourself.
27. When I heard this, I laughed and said, you know that we all can be a god if we make others worship us. But I do not regard myself as a god to be worshipped. For what is my pleasure in getting worship while others have neglected their own heads?
28. Now also, Abdengr saw a vision which he shared to us, saying, I saw one in my dream. And he said he is a son of God. And he has said that I should not fear the fire of Nebuchadnezzar.
29. Now after six days did Nebuchadnezzar bring me out of the prison and said, O Danyal, the king of Persia has requested that you come to his land. And I have thought to let you go, that you could escape death. For I love you greatly and it shall not be good to kill you of my own hands.
30. Now go with those who have come to take you.
31. Now when I heard this, I pleaded that he would rescue the others who were in the prison, but the king refused, saying, Ahasuerus the king of Persia did not request for them, but for you only. For he does not know any of them, but you only.
32. So was I taken away by the knights of the king and brought to Persia where Ahasuerus was the king of it.
33. Now was I greatly troubled, for I did not want Nebuchadnezzar to kill my friends. Now when I meditated with great fear in my mind, I could not get beyond the dark and reach the light. But I fell asleep all the time, seeing only fearful dreams which were generated by my emotions.
34. And when I shut my eyes and wept greatly for my friends, I dreamt and saw them burning in the fire of Nebuchadnezzar. And when they had burnt into ashes, the king packed their ashes and blew them away.
35. Now my fear remained in me and I could not get into my higher self because of my great emotions. But I asked, saying, O Nature and the God of it, take control of this situation.
36. Now on the night when Nebuchadnezzar had proclaimed that we would be burnt up, I Danyal went outside the palace of Ahasuerus at night and sat on a rock, weeping greatly.
37. And I slept off while I was weeping. And I dreamt again, seeing my friends roasting in the fire of the king of Babylon. Then did I weep greatly for what I had seen, then did I see a word flash through my eye: DO NOT FEAR.
38. Then did I feel a touch on my body and woke up from my sleep.
39. Then I saw one with wings, saying, Danyal, fear not, for your friends were safe in Babylon. For Eartum, a son of God was with them in the fire.
40. And he knew also that you are greatly worried. And since five days ago did he send me to you when you could not connect to him through meditation. And when I was in the air, two of the princes of Persia attacked me.
41. For they were Anakims like myself, who have wings also. And their wings were lighter than the wings which Eartum had made for me. For Largas knew how to make lighter wings than any other sons of God.
42. Now O Danyal, both Baraqel and Nepheth fought me hard in the air, but I subdued them and fled past them after five days. And they are flying everywhere now, seeking after me.
43. Now O Danyal, let me return to the sky to see my lord who have sent me to you, saying, do not fear, for your friends are not dead but are alive.
44. Now when the angel had departed, whom they called Anubis in the tongues of Egypt, I rose up and returned to my place with gladness of heart.

This is not from any holy book. There is no such thing as holy book because the so-called holy books are filled with wars, slave trading, genocides and infanticides commanded by the founders of them. Rather, this is the BOOK OF TRUTH aka Book of Universal History(Doctufos), being revealed to humanity at this Age of Aquarius. You can follow this link to get the whole of the book.

a pinch? Better make it a sea full of salt for it is true. The very foundation of the churches(world) was built atop doctrines and traditions of men(lies) that, meaning God is not in it. So why would you want to rope any one else into it?

Lovely thread.

I actually just finished the book of Daniel and the Holy Spirit easily pointed this out to me while studying. Like one of the posters mentioned, Daniel was the only one out of the 4 Hebrew boys that was given the understanding of visions and dreams (Daniel 1:17b). Hence, why he was the one that could discover and interpret Nebuchadnezzar's 1st dream in Daniel Chapter 2, not the other three. Daniel was gradually being set apart from these three if you notice. In fact, right from the beginning, it was Daniel that personally purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king's delicacies (Daniel 1:8 ). It was because the same steward was put in charge of the four of them that the remaining three (Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego) did follow-come.

Once Daniel narrated and interpreted the king's dream successfully, of course Nebuchadnezzar was shocked and went as far as praising the God of Daniel as the Revealer of Secrets (Daniel 2:47) and recognized Him as the God of gods (including their own babylonian gods). Hence, the king saw God as "Daniel's God". Shedrach, Meschach and Abednego were yet to prove themselves as children of THIS SAME GOD on a personal level. This was why even though Daniel recommended them to the king for higher positions (Daniel 2:49), the king's belief was that Daniel was the only one that had access to this special God as I believe most Jews in Babylon were already serving the babylonian gods. Hence, why certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the other three to the king that they have refused to bow down to the image of gold as instructed. Daniel was left out as the king already recognized his God and associated him with this "extra-powerful God".

The lesson here is that despite having your own "spiritual gang", everyone will still have to prove themselves as children of God ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. And if people don't know your God yet (or your stand), they will offer you with all sorts of nonsense, until you take a stand!
