A 38-slide PowerPoint presentation for the 2022 OT Lesson 146: Daniel 1-2
"Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were among the first group of Jews taken captive to Babylon and were selected to be trained for service in King Nebuchadnezzar’s household. Daniel and his friends kept the Lord’s laws by refusing wine and certain foods from the king. The Lord blessed them physically, mentally, and spiritually, and they excelled in wisdom above other servants of the king. Later, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that troubled him. He ordered all the wise men in Babylon to be killed unless they could reveal the dream and its meaning. The Lord revealed to Daniel the dream and the interpretation of it, which included a description of the kingdom of God upon the earth in the latter days."
