The main message of the Book of Daniel is the sovereignty of God and His rulership over all nations and kingdoms. Some key themes and messages that arise from the Book of Daniel include:
- God's Sovereignty: Despite being exiled and surrounded by powerful pagan rulers, the book emphasizes that the Lord God is the true sovereign ruler who raises up kings and kingdoms and brings them down according to His purposes.
- Faith and Obedience: Daniel and his friends (Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego) model unwavering faithfulness and obedience to God, even when faced with life-threatening situations due to their convictions.
- God's Deliverance: Several dramatic stories (fiery furnace, lions' den) showcase God's power to protect and deliver those who remain faithful to Him.
- Dream/Vision Interpretation: God gives Daniel the ability to interpret dreams and visions, revealing God's foreknowledge and sovereignty over human rulers and future events.
- The Coming Messiah: Some visions and prophecies in Daniel point to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom.
- Wisdom from God: Daniel exhibits God-given wisdom that surpasses that of pagan wise men, emphasizing that true wisdom comes from the Lord.
