Daniel 6:

- Daniel is chosen to be part of the three high officials of Darius’ administration.

- Thanks to his special relationship with Yah.weh, he distinguishes himself over the administration!

- As a consequence, the king intends to elevate him over the entire kingdom!

- Because of that, some high officials and satraps are jealous of him and try to find an accusation!

- But Daniel is not corrupted!

- As a matter of fact, the conclusion is clear: they must find something in the law of his God!

- They tell the king to establish a royal decree and to enforce a ban to prevent people from making a petition to any god or man except to the king for 30 days!

- There is no law!

- They make the king have a law especially against Daniel!

- And it attacks the relationship Daniel has with his God!

- And what does Daniel do as soon as he hears about the law?

- He openly prays to his God!

- He won’t change anything about his relationship to his God because of men!

- His relationship to Yah.weh is his top priority!

- And he does everything to keep it!

- The men who accuse him can’t prevent Yah.weh from saving him!

- On the contrary, the king has them thrown into the lions’ pit!

- This story should open our eyes!

- How do we want to get into the promised land and think about gaining eternal life if we don’t have such attachment to Yah.weh?

Daniel 7:
- First, Daniel has a dream and visions!

- Then he writes down the dream!

- He records a complete account of the matters!

- He is a civil servant!

- He is used to doing things according to a particular procedure!

- Thus he gives all the details!

- Moreover, it comes from Yah.weh!

- And what he sees is not usual!

- And it is certainly not pleasant!

- His spirit is distressed because the visions frighten him!

- He is the only one who receives such visions!

- Even his three companions don’t receive such visions!

- It means Daniel is really precious to Yah.weh!

- It is a privilege!

- Dreams and visions!

- Yah.weh shares a lot with Daniel!

- It is always interesting when we read the Bible!

- We are always told about details!

- Again dreams and visions!

- Yah.weh gives a lot to Daniel through dreams and visions!

- It is always powerful!

- It is as if you were inside the dream or the vision!

- You may think about the complexity of the brain!

- It is so elaborate like the universe!

- They are both giants with a multitude of connections!

- The more doors you open, the more doors you have to open!

- It multiplied to the infinite!

- Yah.weh’s knowledge is infinite!

- There are no limits!

- When we keep thinking about the Bible, we can have a small vision of all this knowledge!

- Men like to put limits to others’ knowledge so they can control them better!

- But it is so stupid!

- Because when we share knowledge we can access more knowledge!

- Sharing is essential!

- it doesn’t matter if it’s correct or not!

- What is important is when it helps us make progress toward Yah.weh!

- But the world is so limited!

- And religions are so limited because of such a situation!

Daniel 8:

- Daniel has a vision!

- He tries to understand it!

- He hears the voice of a man!

- This man talks to him!

- Daniel is so terrified that he falls facedown!

- He falls asleep!

- The man wakes him up!

- Daniel is exhausted and is sick for a few days!

- Each time Daniel has a vision it is as if the scene occurs before him!

- As if it was real!

- Daniel is at the same time inside and outside the vision!

- Thus we get more information about the depth of his relationship with Yah.weh!

- It is really deep, really close!

- Daniel is able to visualize scenes very few people have the opportunity to see!

- It is not given to everybody!

- When we think about Daniel’s life, we understand why!

- It questions oneself about the depth of our relationship to Yah.weh and about where it is going!

- Do we build it up or not?

- Yah.weh is the God of action!

- He never stops acting!

- The universe keeps doing the same!

- It never stops!

- We can say the same of our brains!

- If we want to look like Yah.weh, we must keep being active!

- We must keep demonstrating our faith to him!

- And faithful men like Job, Daniel, Samuel and others show us the way!

Daniel 9:

- Here Daniel is not making the usual daily prayer!

- It is about the rebuilding of Jerusalem!

- Thus for Daniel it is really important!

- Thus he prepares himself by fasting and sackcloth and ashes!

- It appears like a ceremony!

- He starts by magnifying Yah.weh!

- And as usual Israel hasn’t been playing its part of the relationship!

- Thus many don’t do anything and then they think that Yah.weh is going to listen to them!

- Today, it is exactly the same!

- When will mankind wake up!

- Never!

- Why should they do it ?

- Only individuals wake up from time to time!

- Once again, man’s way is far away from Yah.weh’s way!

- And we just have to open the Bible and read it carefully again and again!

- It doesn’t work if we open the Bible from time to time saying I don’t understand anything!

- When we take all the faithful servants of Yah.weh in the Bible, their relationship with Yah.weh is a strong connection based on mutual efforts!

- And when Daniel prays to Yah.weh about Israel’s sins which are countless, he always says “we” even if he has a special relationship with Yah.weh!

- He speaks about the responsibility of Israel as a people!

- And he feels guilty because of what Israel did against Yah.weh!

- Here he doesn’t take into account the fact that he has a privileged position!

- And he is clear about the shame of all the Israelites because of their countless sins!

- And they did everything wrong!

- And Daniel doesn’t have to wait long for getting an answer!

- He is called “very precious”!

- And he is told that Jerusalem will be rebuilt but also destroyed again as the Messiah will be cut off!

- And we know why!

- Daniel and his three companions are so different from Israel!

- There is no possible comparison!

Daniel 10:

- As usual before a special event, here is a vision, Daniel prepares himself!

- He has been mourning for three full weeks!

- No rich food, no meat or wine, no oil on himself!

- Then he gets the vision!

- He is with other men but he is the only one to see the vision!

- The others have a great tremor and run away and hide!

- He has no power left in him!

- His dignified appearance leaves him!

- He loses all his strength!

- It is not something usual but extraordinary!

- And the man in the vision speaks to him!

- And once again he is called a very precious man!

- And he keeps trembling!

- Daniel sees the vision but he also feels it in his body!

- it is really powerful!

- It is not human!

- It comes from Yah.weh!

- The other men can perceive that something is happening but they don’t know what!

- Definitely unusual in our so-called modern world with so many connections lost!

- We have devices to communicate!

- But we can’t feel anything!

- We have lost the basics!

- Even to communicate with Yah.weh!

- The majority can’t do it!

- They don’t find natural to communicate with him!

Daniel 10:


Daniel 11- 12

- Daniel tells us all the details of the vision!

- Then he talks about a dialogue!

- And finally he is told about a cleansing and a whitening and a refinement and about understanding!

- And the wicked will keep acting wickedly and won’t understand!

- Another warning to be taken seriously by those who want to be refined!

- And not seriously by those who don’t want to be refined!

- Only two options!

- And one personal choice!

- Which includes a personal relationship to Yah.weh or not!

- Then everything is clear for those who understand and for those who don’t want to understand!

- Yes, free will!

- Adam chose to oppose Yah.weh!

- A minority of faithful servants chose to follow Yah.weh!

- The majority keeps opposing Yah.weh!

- Yes, free will!

- We have to choose!

- Choosing is an active way!

- Not choosing is also an active way!

- Not choosing means we oppose!

- Only two ways!

- Simple reality!

Daniel 1: But Daniel resolves in his heart that he doesn’t want to defile himself with the king’s delicacies or with the wine he drinks.

- Resolute: admirably purposeful, determined and unwavering!

- Daniel is definitely resolute or determined!

- He wants to keep his traditions, his faith, he doesn’t want to contaminate himself mentally and physically!

- Thus he always knows where he goes!

- He will keep his direction whatever may happen!

- Thus he can stay strong!

- He has deep roots!

- He won’t be destabilized by a big storm or a tsunami!

- He gives us the key to a strong relationship with Yah.weh!

- Thanks to him, we can visualize it in 3D!

- It is more real than reality!

- We can feel it!

- We can touch it!

- We can taste it!

- For many people, the Bible is an old book good to nothing!

- They don’t realize that they are an old book good to nothing!

- Otherwise our world wouldn’t be in such a mess!

Daniel 2:

- King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream!

- He wants the wise men of Babylon to tell him the dream and its interpretation!

- But nobody is able to do it!

- As a consequence, the king orders all the wise men of Babylon to be killed!

- When Daniel hears about it, he discreetly and cautiously speaks to Arioch the chief of the king’s bodyguard, who has gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon!

- Here we get two qualities: Daniel is discreet and cautious!

- Discreet: careful and prudent in one's speech or actions, especially in order to keep something confidential or to avoid embarrassment !

- Cautious: careful to avoid potential problems or dangers !

- Discreet is respectful of privacy or secrecy; quiet; diplomatic while cautious is careful; using or exercising caution; tentative.

- RESOLUTE / FAITHFUL / GOOD LISTENER / PROACTIVE / FAITHFUL / FAITHFUL / DISCREET AND CAUTIOUS!

- Thus, we see Daniel in small pieces!

- We can speak about deconstruction or reconstruction!

- Like a Rubik's cube!

- Or like a puzzle we can use forever!

- Think about all these qualities!

- And each time, we get more elements!

- It never stops!

- You can watch it in every direction!

- You will get a different perspective!

- Thus the Bible is so different from what people usually call the truth!

- There is no truth!

- The more we learn the more get to know and the more we must keep going!

- There is no stop!

- There is only one way which is straight away!

- And you can’t look back!

- Only one way!

- It must be part of our service to Yah.weh!
