Watch it, read it, teach it and write it down. Twelve chapters, each with a narrated film, a complete study with the workbook answers, slides for your group, and a journal for your week.
Daniel opens in Hebrew, turns to Aramaic — the language of the empire — for the stories and visions every nation needed to hear, then returns to Hebrew for Israel’s future. Pick any chapter to go deeper.
Four young men keep their faith in the court of the empire that took them captive — and God humbles its kings.
Beasts, a Son of Man, seventy weeks, an unseen war and a resurrection: history written in advance.
Written in Hebrew (1:1–2:4a; 8–12)Written in Aramaic, the language of the empire (2:4b–7:28)
Narrated walks through each chapter with the verses on screen, the diagrams from the study, and three teachers: Amir Tsarfati, John MacArthur and David Guzik.
The Bereans “received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). The Berean Dashboard is a free study app built for that kind of reading: let the text speak before you do.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
Each chapter has a Complete Study (the deep dive with diagrams, plus the Discovering Daniel workbook lesson with every answer), an O·I·A study, slides for leading a group, a five-day journal to write in, and a Berean import.
Babylon can take a young man's home, his name and his schooling, but not his heart. Daniel decides ahead of time where his line is, holds it with courtesy, and leaves the results to God — and God gives, from start to finish.
“But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself.” Daniel 1:8
Kings rule because God gives them the kingdom, and every human empire is temporary. The God of heaven reveals what no man can know, answers four praying young men, and will one day set up a kingdom that crushes all the others and lasts forever.
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.” Daniel 2:44
When the whole world bows, three young men stand — trusting God's power, surrendering to His will, and refusing to worship anything else. They don't escape the fire, but they meet the Son of God in it, and they walk out without even the smell of smoke.
“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. “But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3:17–18
The proudest man on earth learns the hard way that the Most High rules. God warned him, gave him a year to repent, humbled him to the level of an animal, and then — when he looked up — restored his mind and his kingdom. "He is able to humble those who walk in pride."
“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.” Daniel 4:37
Belshazzar knew what God had done to his grandfather and mocked Him anyway — on the last night of his life. God numbered his days, weighed his life, and gave his kingdom away before morning. Knowing the truth isn't enough; I must humble my heart.
“ ‘TEKEL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.” Daniel 5:27
The only thing Daniel's enemies could attack was his faithfulness to God. He kept praying as he always had, went into the den, and God shut the lions' mouths. A life of daily prayer prepared him for a night with lions — and turned a pagan king's decree into praise for the living God.
“Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.” Daniel 6:10
Man's kingdoms look like beasts from God's side of the throne — and they all end at His court, where the Son of Man receives the kingdom and shares it with His saints.
“And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:14
History runs on God's clock. Proud powers rise and break on schedule, and the one who attacks God's people and God's worship is allowed only a measured time, then is broken by God's own hand.
“And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency.” Daniel 8:25
A man who believes the Word prays the Word back to God, and heaven answers by unrolling God's calendar for Israel down to the Messiah — and beyond Him to the end.
“Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.” Daniel 9:24
Behind the news of nations is a war in the heavens. Daniel humbled himself and prayed; God heard him the first day, but the answer had to fight its way through. God strengthens His weak servants, calls them highly esteemed, and tells them not to be afraid.
“Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.” Daniel 10:12
History is not random; it is written in advance. Kings rise, scheme and fall exactly as God said. In the worst days, the people who know their God stand strong and teach others — and the last proud king who does as he pleases will come to his end with no one to help him.
“By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.” Daniel 11:32
The worst trouble in history is coming, but God's people are written in His book, guarded by His angel and promised resurrection. I won't understand every detail — even Daniel didn't — but I can be wise, lead many to righteousness, keep waiting, and go my way to the end, knowing I will rise to my portion.
“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3
