The stump was to be left in the earth bound with a band of iron and brass. Let it be wet with dew. Let it live with the animals. Let his mind be that of an animal and not of a man for seven years.
The purpose was so that those who are alive would know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of peoples and gives them to anyone he wishes to place over them.
Daniel said the tree was Nebuchadnezzar.
Nebuchadnezzar was to be driven from among men. He would live in the fields with the wild animals and eat grass like an ox and be wet with the dew from the heavens.
Seven years were to pass until Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and he gives them to anyone he wishes.
Daniel advised Nebuchadnezzar to stop sinning and to do what was right. He also told Nebuchadnezzar to turn away from his sins by showing mercy to the oppressed.
All these things began to happen twelve months after his dream.

The king promised that the one who explained the writing and its meaning would be clothed in purple and would have a gold chain put around his neck and that he would have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
The king told Daniel he had heard that Daniel had the spirit of the Gods in him and that Daniel possessed light and understanding and excellent wisdom .
Daniel told the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another person. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to you, king, and will tell you the meaning."
Nebuchadnezzar lost his majesty and his throne because his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened so that he acted presumptuously.
Daniel said Belshazzar had not humbled his heart, he had lifted himself up against the Lord of Heaven and he had not honored the God who held his breath in his hand and who knew all his ways.

Daniel was one of the three chief administrators.
They were appointed to supervise the provincial governors, so that the king should suffer no loss.
The king planned to put Daniel over the whole kingdom.
They could find none of these things because Daniel was faithful.
They thought they might find something against Daniel regarding the law of his God.
They advised Darius to issue a decree and enforce it that whoever made a a petition to any god or man except King Darius for thirty days, that person had to be thrown into a den of lions.
Daniel went into his house, got down on his knees and prayed giving thanks to God as he had done before.
Those men went to the king and told him that Daniel paid no attention to the king or his decree and that Daniel prayed to God three times a day.
The king became terribly distressed and he applied his mind to rescue Daniel from his ruling.
The king sealed the entrance to the den with his own signet ring. He then went to the palace and fasted through the night and did not sleep.

The first order the king gave after finding Daniel alive was that they should take Daniel up out of the den.
The second order was to bring the men who had accused Daniel and throw them into the lion's den along with their children and their wives.
Darius said of the God of Daniel "...he is the living God and lives forever, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed; his dominion shall be to the end. He makes us safe and rescues us, and he does signs and wonders in heaven and in earth; he has kept Daniel safe from the power of the lions.

Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and during the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniel had a dream and visions while lying on his bed during the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylonia.

Four large animals, each one different from the other came up out of the sea.
The mind of a man was given to it.
It was told to get up and devour many people.
It was given authority to rule.
The fourth animal devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled underfoot what was left.
Daniel saw another little horn grow up among the other ten horns. Three of the first horns were wrenched out by the roots. Daniel saw that the little horn had eyes like a man and a mouth that boasted about great things.
The Ancient of Days sat upon one of the thrones.
The court was in session and the books were opened.
The animal with the horn that spoke boastful words was killed, its body destroyed and it was handed over to be burned up. The other three animals had their authority to rule taken away but their lives were prolonged for a time.

One who came with the clouds of heaven like a son of man was presented to the Ancient of Days.
Everlasting authority to rule, a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and glory and royal power were given to this one who was "like a son of man".

It upset them because it was a Sabbath and they said the man was not permitted to carry his mat on the Sabbath.
Jesus told him, " See, you have become well! Do not sin any more, lest something worse happens to you."
The man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jeus who had made him well.
Jesus told them, "My Father is working even now, and I, too, work."

The Father gave all judgment to the Son so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father.

Jesus took the loaves and after giving thanks, he distributed to those who were sitting. He distributed the fish in the same way.
They got as much as they wanted to eat.
The disciples filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves—the pieces left over from those who had eaten.
Jesus withdrew because he realized the people, after seeing the sign he did (feeding of the five thousand), were about to come and seize him by force and make him king.

The Father's will is that Jesus should lose none that the Father has given him and that everyone who sees the son and believes in him should have eternal life; and Jesus will raise him up on the last day.
A man can only come to Jesus if his Father draws him.
Only he who is from God has seen the Father.
The bread that Jesus will give is his flesh for the life of the world.
In order to have life within yourself you must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood.
If we eat his flesh and drink his blood we will remain in Jesus and him in us.
Jesus lives because of the Father.

They urged him to go so that Jesus' disciples could see the deeds he was doing and so that the world would know.
Jesus told his brothers his time had not yet come, and his time had not yet been fulfilled.
Jesus said the world hated him because he testifies about the world that its deeds are evil.
Jesus went up after his brothers had gone up to the festival but he went in private not publicly.
Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "No, he leads the crowds astray."
It was for fear of the Jews that no one spoke openly about Jesus.
When the festival was half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching
Jesus said if anyone wished to do the will on the person who sent Jesus, he would know about this teaching, whether it came from God or not.
Jesus said that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Jesus said none of you does the law.
Jesus' argument was: You will circumcise a man on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken. Then why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath.
Jesus told them not to judge according to appearance, but to judge righteously.
The people said they knew where Jesus came from, but when Christ comes they said no one will know where he comes from.

Jesus said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
After Jesus spoke they went out one by one, beginning from the eldest and ending with the last.
Jesus told her to go her way and from then on to sin no more.
The Pharisees complained that Jesus was bearing witness about himself and that his witness was not true.
Jesus said that in their law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. He then states that he and the Father who sent him both bear witness about Jesus
Jesus said that in their law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. He then states that he and the Father who sent him both bear witness about Jesus

He who is of God hears the words of God.
If anyone keeps Jesus' word, he will never see death.
They said this because Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.

They took the man to the Pharisees..
The healing of the blind man took place on the Sabbath.
They asked him how he had received his sight.

The formerly blind man said, "He is a prophet."
They called in the man's parents because they still did not believe the man was the one that had been blind.
The parents testified that the man was indeed their son and that he had been born blind.
They said they didn't know how he could now see or who opened his eyes.
They said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
They said, "Give glory to God. We know this man (Jesus) is a sinner."
He replied, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know: Once I was blind, and now I see.
The formerly blind man said, "Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples too, do you?"
The formerly blind man said that everyone knew God does not listen to sinners
