But, we think of Daniel as a prophet as the Book of Daniel contains detailed prophecy about the times following him and the coming of the Messiah and the end times described in the Book of Revelation. He convinced the King to let him eat according to law for ten days to prove that his diet was better. He is brought back to the King at the end of the ten days healthier and fatter than the other slaves and the King is convinced. We are so afraid of sticking out or being different from the crowd. We make it difficult for God to bless our lives when we won t honor Him.
Faithfulness is a two way street.
Daniel was a devout and pious man. In everything, he turned to God in prayer. Nebubuchadnezzar was not an easy master to serve. Instead, they had to also divine the nature of the dream. The wise men told the king that this was impossible for them to do.
