HOW TO BE THE LIGHT

WHEN ISRAEL WAS CONQUERED DANIEL WAS RECRUITED TO BE AN ADVISOR, AND EVENTUALLY LEADER, IN THE NEW BABYLONIAN EMPIRE. BABYLON WAS A GODLESS NATION FULL OF GREED, VIOLENCE, IDOLATRY, AND IMMORALITY, NOT TOO DIFFERENT FROM THE CULTURE WE LIVE IN TODAY. IT IS HERE THAT DANIEL’S LIGHT SHINES BRIGHTEST AND SERVES AS A MODEL FOR ALL OF US TO FOLLOW.
