Daniel and his friends are living in exile in Babylon. Due to the sovereign God’s hand upon them they have been accepted into the King Nebuchadnezzar’s service. But they are about to be reminded how dangerous it can be as an adviser to the king of Babylon and how quicky and easily such employment can be terminated. How will God deliver them from this new threat?
Main Points:

Application Questions
- Daniel chapter 2 shows us the conflict between two very different world views. As Christians we are surrounded by alternative views of God and the world. In what areas of life are these alternative views most obvious and clear?
- Can you think of some of the more subtle ways in which the Christian world view is being attacked? How should we respond to this?
- How has God disclosed His wisdom and plans to us? (1 Corinthians 1:18-25 & Ephesians 1:9-10)
- How can we like Daniel and his friends take on the false gods of this world and show them up as counterfeit?
