Daniel 1
1
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.2
3
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;4
5
And the king appointed them a daily * provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.6
Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:7
Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.8
9
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.10
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah,Mishael, and Azariah,12
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat , and water to drink .13
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest , deal with thy servants.14
So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.15
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.16
Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom:and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.18
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.19
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.20
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.21

Daniel 2
1
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,wherewith his spirit was troubled , and his sleep brake from him.2
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers , and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.3
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know thedream.4
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.5
6
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.7
They answered again and said , Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.8
The king answered and said , I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.9
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one * decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed : therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said , There is not a man upon the earth thatcan shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things atany magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
Therefore * * Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wisemen of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, andbecame like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away , that noplace was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, andfilled the whole earth.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed : and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
For as much as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath madeknown to the king what shall come to pass hereafter * : and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure .
10
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth , and there is none other that can shew it beforethe king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.12
For this cause the king was angry and very furious , and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.13
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain ; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain .14
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard,which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:15
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.16
Then Daniel went in , and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:18
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.19
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.20
Daniel answered and said , Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever * : for wisdom and might are his:21
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:22
He revealeth the deep and secret things : he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.23
24
25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste , and said thus unto him, I have founda man of the captives * of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.26
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to makeknown unto me the dream which I have seen , and the interpretation thereof?27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot * the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;28
29
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter * : and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass .30
31
Thou, O king, sawest * , and behold a great * image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible .32
This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,33
Thou sawest * till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon hisfeet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces .35
36
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.37
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power,and strength, and glory.38
And wheresoever the children of men dwell , the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.39
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.40
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise .41
42
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly *strong, and partly * broken .43
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves * with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.44
45
46
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.47
The king answered unto Daniel, and said , Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.48
Then the king made Daniel a great man , and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.49

EDITOR'S NOTE: You may have noticed the so called "Seal of Solomon" on the golden and silver vessels Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem. This symbol, the hexagram, which has 6 points, 6 triangles and 6 sides on the central hexagram, would not have been on these vessels because they were made before Solomon's descent into idolatry (see 1 Kings chapter 7). The hexagram is obviously a Satanic symbol, which is why it is the symbol used by the Synagogue of Satan: The Kenites. It wasn't until later that Solomon "went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites"(1 Kings 11:5). Therefore the depiction of the vessels taken from Jerusalem in this video are historically inaccurate. However, symbolically, this depiction illustrates the spiritual adultery that was committed both by Solomon and the children of Israel, as well as the blasphemy of the Kenites, and in the futurist sense, the Great Apostasy.
The book is made up primarily of historical narrative (found mainly in chs. 1 - 6) and apocalyptic ("revelatory") material (found mainly in chs. 7 - 12). The latter may be defined as symbolic, visionary, prophetic literature, usually composed during oppressive conditions and being chiefly eschatological in theological content. Apocalyptic literature is primarily a literature of encouragement to the people of God (see Introduction to Zechariah: Literary Form and Themes; see also Introduction to Revelation: Literary Form). For the symbolic use of numbers in apocalyptic literature see Introduction to Revelation: Distinctive Feature.
