The lecture addresses the life and personality of the prophet Daniel and his three companions as models of faith and holiness in the land of exile and captivity.
The lecture indicates that holiness is possible even in exile, for God was with Daniel and the three youths and preserved them and revealed His glory through signs and miracles.
The lecture highlights Daniel’s role as a servant of God and intercessor for his people: his prayers, his fasting, and his grief over his people’s sins, and his carrying the responsibility of supplicating the Lord for them.
It also speaks about Daniel’s humility; how he asked his companions to intercede and pray before the revelation of secrets, and how he did not become proud regarding the visions but confessed that he did not immediately understand them.
Examples from the Holy Scripture (Joseph the Righteous, Ezekiel, Nehemiah) are presented to affirm that God can work with believers in exile and grant them success and the respect of kings.
The lecture points to the believers’ confrontation with persecution and conspiracies around the kings, and how their steadfastness leads to glorifying the Lord’s name and results in salvation and recognition by the pagans.
The lecture touches on the topic of visions and prophecies in Daniel: about the Son of Man, about the angel Michael, and about the resurrection and signs of the last days, with a warning against those who set dates and impose erroneous interpretations.
The spiritual/educational dimension: the lecture urges practical faith (steady worship, rejection of idolatry), spiritual humility, intercession for the people, and trust that God is manifest and glorified even in injustice and exile.
