RickJW Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Q1. (9:1-3) What encourages Daniel to seek God for the forgiveness and restoration of Israel to its homeland? What trait on Daniel's part brings this encouragement to pass? Daniel found his encouragement from his study of Scripture, specifically Jeremiah, in which it is said that the exile of the Israelites will last for seventy years. This period of time is almost over. Daniel has enjoyed favor with the Babylonian rulers during the exile, for example, he was able to persuade them to change the food given to him and his fellow Jews, so that it would not go against their teachings. In spite of his being captive by these people who did not share his beliefs in God, he was able to prosper and attain high positions in the government. He also had an active prayer life, and knew that God had not forsaken him, but faithfully answered Daniel's prayers. These things all worked together to build Daniel's faith in God and confidence that his prayers would be answered. Quote

Salilo Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Daniel knew from the written word of the Lord to Jeremiah that the desolations of Jerusalem would last 70 years and this was about to come to an end.Daniel was a righteous man whom after finding out the written word of the Lord sought God for forgivess and restoration of his people. He knew that the people must come to repentance before God and renew their covenant with him before going back to their homeland. Daniel's life was fully dedicated to God and He was faithful to all His ways. This was probably the reason why God revealed to Daniel a lot of things that would happen and were happening during that time with his people through visions. Quote

MAMA Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Q1. (9:1-3) What encourages Daniel to seek God for the forgiveness and restoration of Israel to its homeland? What trait on Daniel's part brings this encouragement to pass? A key problem that Daniel was praying about, wouldn't end with the 70 years, nor with the 70 weeks of years. He was interceding on behalf of the sinful nature of his people; and pleads for the honor and glory of God; because the people didnot listen to the prophets they were disobedient. You cannot love God and ignore Him. Daniels' trait of humility brought this encouragement to pass. Patricia Quote

patience123 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Daniel had been reading the scriptures and believed the Lord's word through Jeremiah and other prophets, that Israel's shame and the desolation of Jerusalem would last for around 70 years. So reading theword of God encouraged Daniel to ask for forgiveness as he realised that Israel had not kept God's laws and shame and captivity was the result. Daniel was in the habit of praying to God, 3 times a day, up in his room facing Jerusalem. Prayer brought encouragement.!!!Just the same with us today, reading the word and prayer need to go together for greatest effect. Quote

Trusting God Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Q1. (9:1-3) What encourages Daniel to seek God for the forgiveness and restoration of Israel to its homeland?

What trait on Daniel's part brings this encouragement to pass? There are several character traits that I see in Daniel that may have brought this encouragement to pass, but the one that stands out to me is compassion. Daniel exhibited great kindness, concern, and care for his people to bring them before a mighty God who he knew could deliver them completely. Quote
