BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 4: Daniel 6:1-18

September 24, 2025September 1, 2025 by atozmom, posted in BSF Exile & Return: A Time to Build 2025/2026

Summary of Daniel 6:1-18

Daniel was gaining position within King Darius’ empire, making the satraps jealous. They determined to find charges against him. They tricked the king into issuing a decree that anyone worshipping anyone else but him should be thrown into the lions’ den. So, Daniel was caught worshipping God, and the King had to throw him into the lions’ den.

BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 4: Daniel 6:1-18

11a) The fact that Daniel could interpret dreams. The fact he was loyal and not corrupt. And, he was good at his job. His character was above others’.

b) God blesses those who do His work above all else. Excellence trumps culture. Character is super important.

12a) They were jealous of him and wanted to be the king’s favorite. They wanted the power and influence with the king that Daniel had.

b) All mankind is fallen and sinful. They do evil unto others for their own personal gain. Only God can save us from ourselves. Their actions reveal a heart that is fundamentally self-serving, views excellence as a threat, uses deception as a tool, and is willing to corrupt systems of law and religion to achieve its own envious and power-hungry goals.

13) Daniel still prayed to God despite the edict. His life would not change, nor would his devotion to God. He knew God would save him if it was God’s will.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 4: Daniel 6:1-18

Such a powerful example of mankind’s nature at its worst and how to respond in a Godly way.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 4: Daniel 6:1-18

History records do not record Darius’ name. However, experts believe this was another name for a different ruler.

Daniel was not sinless, but he operated with integrity to the point that the satraps could find nothing he had ever done wrong.

The satraps used Darius’ pride to trick him. The edict could not be changed because the people believed the king spoke to the gods, and the gods were never wrong.

Darius knew it was his fault he was tricked, and he felt guilty over it since he couldn’t sleep. He probably liked Daniel and honestly did not want him harmed.

END NOTES SUMMARIZED

Daniel 6:1-18 sets the stage for a dramatic test of faith by showcasing how political jealousy can weaponize the law to target religious integrity.

The interpretation of its key elements is as follows:

The Conspiracy of Jealousy: Daniel’s exceptional competence and trustworthiness as an administrator provoke the envy of his rivals. Unable to find any fault in his professional life, they conspire to use his unwavering religious devotion as a weapon against him.
The Idolatrous Law: The decree forbidding prayer to any god or man except King Darius for 30 days is a trap. It forces a direct conflict between civic obedience and divine worship, demanding an allegiance to the state that is due only to God.
Daniel’s Uncompromising Faithfulness: Knowing the decree is law, Daniel does not change his lifelong habit. He continues to pray openly toward Jerusalem, demonstrating that his devotion to God is a consistent, non-negotiable part of his life, not a reaction to the crisis. His act is one of faithful consistency, not political defiance.
The Powerless King: The story highlights the irony of King Darius, the most powerful man in the empire, being trapped by his own irrevocable law. He is greatly distressed and tries to save Daniel but is rendered helpless by his own prideful decree.

In essence, this passage establishes a clear conflict between the integrity of a faithful man and the jealousy of a corrupt system. It pits the unchangeable law of the Medes and Persians against Daniel’s unwavering commitment to the higher law of his God, setting the stage for a divine intervention.

September 23, 2025September 1, 2025 by atozmom, posted in BSF Exile & Return: A Time to Build 2025/2026

Summary of Daniel 5:13-31

So, King Belshazzar called Daniel before him to interpret the writing on the wall. Daniel turned down all rewards and interpreted the message. He told him that his father was given greatness but was prideful, so he was humbled. He did not learn from his father’s experience, so God is sending him a punishment.

The inscription was: mene, mene, tekel, parsin, which meant that God has numbered his days of reign. His kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persians. That very night, King Belshazzar was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom at age 62.

BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 3: Daniel 5:13-31

7) God. God is in control of everything, everyone, and every destiny.

8 ) Daniel did not need anything; he had everything he needed in God. Plus, he may not have wanted to take from a pagan king. It also showed that he spoke the truth, not influenced by rewards. Daniel interpreted because he may have seen it as his duty to do so, and it would glorify God when the truth came to pass.

9) The rule was the same. They were both arrogant and prideful and forced to acknowledge God in heaven. But the main difference was that King Nebuchadnezzar respected God. His sin was pride, whereas Belshazzar committed blasphemy against God. God corrected Nebuchadnezzar; he punished Belshazzar.

10) Empires don’t stand; God does. Nothing is for certain. Anything can happen. Circumstances can change literally overnight. In today’s world, the same. Anything can change, so our job is to pray and let God handle it all.

What’s striking is the suddenness of Babylon’s fall. The empire collapsed in a single night, not from weakness, but at the very height of its arrogant and blasphemous feast. Its end was a swift, direct fulfillment of God’s prophetic judgment, proving human power is an illusion before divine justice.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 3: Daniel 5:13-31

Great lesson on how God determines outcomes. He also holds those who should know better (aka Belshazzar) to a higher standard.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 3: Daniel 5:13-31

Daniel knew that Belshazzar should have known not to mess with God, based on his father, King Nebuchadnezzar’s, experience. He was without excuse.

Each of the words on the wall stood for a short sentence.

END NOTES SUMMARIZED

Daniel 5:13-31 describes the solemn delivery of a divine, final judgment against a blasphemous king and its immediate, violent fulfillment.

The interpretation of its key elements is as follows:

Daniel’s Rebuke of Willful Pride: Before interpreting the words, Daniel boldly rebukes King Belshazzar. He highlights that the king’s sin was far worse than Nebuchadnezzar’s, because he knew the story of his predecessor’s humbling yet chose to act with even greater, defiant arrogance. This establishes the theme of accountability for known truth.
The Divine Verdict: The words on the wall—MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN—are interpreted as a final legal verdict from the court of heaven:
- MENE: God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.
- TEKEL: You have been weighed on the scales of justice and found morally and spiritually deficient.
- PARSIN: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
The Swift and Irreversible Judgment: Unlike the warning dream given to Nebuchadnezzar, this message contains no offer of repentance. It is a final sentence. The prophecy’s fulfillment “that very night” with Belshazzar’s death reveals the terrifying swiftness and finality of God’s judgment when a line of defiant blasphemy is crossed.

In essence, the passage demonstrates that God is a righteous judge who holds leaders accountable. While He can be patient, His judgment against those who know the truth and willfully mock Him can be sudden, absolute, and historically precise.

September 22, 2025October 3, 2025 by atozmom, posted in BSF Exile & Return: A Time to Build 2025/2026

Summary of Daniel 5:1-12

King Belshazzar of Babylon gave a royal banquet. Here, he drank from the gold goblets that Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem. Suddenly, writing appeared on the wall. The King was scared and wanted to know what it would mean, promising the interpreter to be promoted to the 3rd highest ruler in the kingdom.

The queen or queen mother told him to call for Daniel, who was the chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners in his father’s time. He could interpret it.

BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 2: Daniel 5:1-12

3) King Belshazzar of Babylon was King Nebuchadnezzar’s son. He was a pagan, but revered his gods and wanted to celebrate them. He is an arrogant, indulgent king whose spiritual life is defined by active blasphemy. He deliberately defiles God’s sacred vessels to worship lifeless idols, showing contempt for true divinity. His instant terror at the supernatural writing reveals his proud bravado was a fragile facade, spiritually bankrupt before true power.

4) Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace.

5a) She showed him respect and then told him not to be afraid, for Daniel could interpret dreams as he did under King Nebuchadnezzar. She told her husband to call him to explain the riddle.

b) She began with respect. She offered a solution based on past successes. She was calm and cool-headed.

6) King Nebuchadnezzar learned that God in Heaven was above all other gods and should be respected. He should have learned that God humbles the proud. Therefore, King Belshazzar should not have defiled the gold goblets from the temple. He should expect judgment.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 2: Daniel 5:1-12

It’s funny to me how all these pagan kings still worshipped the pagan gods after our Lord in Heaven proved to them their falsehood.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Exile & Return: A Time to Build Lesson 5, Day 2: Daniel 5:1-12

Nebuchadnezzar ruled for 43 years. His son, Belshazzar, became king after several other failed kingships. The secular record does not have a ruler named Belshazzar. Therefore, Bible scholars believe that Belshazzar was the son of Nabonidus, the last recorded ruler of Babylon from 556-539 BC. Nabonidus ruled from afar, so some believe Belshazzar to be the ruler in Babylon at this time. The term “father” was common for “ancestor” or “predecessor.”

King Belshazzar committed sacrilege against God. He was trying to bolster his people since they were under attack.

When the writing on the wall appeared, King Belshazzar was terrified. He probably knew he had committed sacrilege and would now pay the price.

In addition, King Belshazzar saw the very hand of God. That, in itself, is terrifying. God’s actions in Scripture are often symbolized by His hand (Psalm 37:24; 95:4; Isaiah 5:25)

King Belshazzar was technically 2nd in command since he was a stand-in for the real king at the time.

The woman could have been the King’s mother. She knew Daniel had “the spirit of the holy gods,” which was often used by Nebuchadnezzar to describe Daniel (Daniel 4:8-9, 18).

END NOTES SUMMARIZED

Daniel 5:1-12 sets a scene of peak arrogance and blasphemy, which is met by a terrifying divine intervention, once again proving the bankruptcy of worldly wisdom.

The interpretation of its key elements is as follows:

The Blasphemous Feast: King Belshazzar’s drunken decision to use the sacred vessels from God’s Temple in Jerusalem to praise his own lifeless idols is a deliberate act of contempt. It represents a new level of hubris, actively mocking the God of Israel, unlike Nebuchadnezzar, whose sin was primarily self-glorifying pride.
The Writing on the Wall: The sudden appearance of a disembodied hand writing a cryptic message is God’s immediate and terrifying response. This supernatural judgment intrudes directly into the pagan feast, shattering the king’s arrogance and filling him with mortal fear.
The Failure of Worldly Wisdom: For the third time in the book, the most brilliant minds of Babylon are rendered completely powerless before a divine revelation. They cannot read or interpret the message, reinforcing the theme that human wisdom and religion have no access to the secrets of God.
The Remembrance of God’s Prophet: The queen mother’s recollection of Daniel serves as the turning point. It highlights that God’s true servant is only sought out as a last resort, when all human systems have failed, setting the stage for Daniel to once again speak with divine authority.

In essence, this passage illustrates that there is a line of blasphemy that, when crossed, invites immediate and terrifying judgment. It is a prelude that silences all other voices to make way for the one true word from God.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 5: Revelation 3:1-6

September 26, 2024September 22, 2024 by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 3:1-6

Jesus addresses the church in Sardis. Jesus tells them he knows their deeds, but yet they are dead. Their deeds are unfinished. The people need to remember what they have received and heard and repent. If they don’t repeat, Jesus will come.

Yet, a few have held to his teachings. They will walk with Jesus wearing white. Their names will be acknowledged before God and angels.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 5: Revelation 3:1-6

11a) Jesus tells them he knows their deeds. They need to wake up and strengthen their resolve. They need to remember what they have received and heard and repent.

b) It can be easy to be complacent about doing God’s will in our lives when our lives are so “busy.” We must always be vigilant to God’s word and ways and strive to align our will with His. When you are just going through the motions, you need to wake up and be more alert regarding your actions.

12) Clean, white clothes symbolize purity and righteousness before God. It symbolizes how we have been purified by the blood of Christ. It assures me that I will have a place in heaven with God and Jesus forever. That I will not be forgotten nor forsaken. That I am pure in God’s eyes.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 5: Revelation 3:1-6

Great stuff again! I love how the message is pretty simple: walk in Jesus’ ways and be saved. Hallelujah!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 5: Revelation 3:1-6

Sardis was another city in Asia that was wealthy. The first coins in Asia were printed here, becoming one of the first forms of money.

Sardis, like most other Roman cities, was full of sin. It had many temples to the Roman gods, and the people were amoral.

Sardis was on a high cliff, but it was still famously conquered by the Persian King Cyrus in 549 B.C. and again in 214 B.C. by Antiochus.

Remember, 7 is the number of completion, so here Jesus is saying he is fully God and the church.

If the people did not remain vigilant and turn from their ways, Jesus would come bringing judgment.

There were a few good ones just like in Pergumum (Revelation 2:14) and Thyatira (Revelation 2:20).

Their reward was to walk with Jesus. Who doesn’t want to do that?

Most Bible scholars believe there is a real Book of Life with our names written in it. It will be used on the Day of Judgment to determine our eternal destiny. (Revelation 20:15)

Fun Fact: There are 5 references to the Book of Life in the Bible:

We need to be born of Jesus in order to be able to be assured our name is in the Book of Life.

We must all hear and take heed so that we remain vigilant in our faith and not spiritually dead.

Summary of Revelation 2:24-29

Jesus speaks to those in Thyatira who hold to his teachings, telling them they will not have any more burdens. Jesus will give authority over the nations to those who does his will.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 4: Revelation 2:24-29

9) Jesus promises to not impose any more burdens on believers in Thyatira. He tells them to hold to their beliefs until he comes. I simply try to make my decisions through prayer and what I believe God wants me to do. I read my Bible, do Bible study, and try to attend church events as much as possible in order to strengthen my resolve to be more like Jesus.

10a) Jesus’ will for believers is to give them authority over the nations —that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’. He rewards them with everlasting life and blessings. Jesus is our reward (Revelation 22:16).

b) Jesus’ words are very uplifting. He promises to make our burdens light to carry and that we will have authority over nations if we hold true to his teachings. This helps when the world and circumstances become heavy, knowing he is strengthening me.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 4: Revelation 2:24-29

In a book so full of doom, these moments of joy are important. Jesus is promising us eternal life if we only hold to his teachings. While this is not always easy, it is something we can strive for day after day.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 4: Revelation 2:24-29

Jesus promises that believers will reign with him and share in his kingdom if they overcome immorality and idolatry.

The quote is from Psalm 2; those who rebel will be dashed to pieces like pottery.

Summary of Revelation 2:18-23

Jesus addresses the church in Thyatira. Jesus knows their deeds, their love, faith, service, and perseverance. Yet, they tolerate Jezebel, a woman calling herself a prophet. She is misleading them into sin. He will make her suffer and those who commit adultery with her suffer. Jesus will strike her children dead. Then all will know he is Jesus and he will repay each of them according to their deeds.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 3: Revelation 2:18-23

6) Jesus knows their deeds, their love, faith, service, and perseverance.

7a) The people are enticed into sexual sin and eating food sacrificed to idols.

b) Jezebel was a foreigner who married Ahab King of Judah. She tempted him and the Israelites into serving and worshipping Baal, as well as setting up altars for Baal and setting up Asherah poles. Jezebel was condemned by the Lord to be eaten by dogs as punishment for her sins. She was tossed out a window and eaten by dogs. She was a deceiver. She was pure evil, wicked, and defiant to God. She had the prophets of God killed and she falsely executed at least one man.

c) If the false teacher did not repent, her children will be struck down.

8 ) Jesus is compassionate as much as he is the bearer of justice. He offers everyone a chance to repent. If they don’t, they face judgment.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 3: Revelation 2:18-23

I’m beginning to love this pattern of the churches! Jesus commends and then warns. I feel like this is Jesus in our lives. He loves us for all the good we do and then warns us of the bad we do and redirects us to the good!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 3: Revelation 2:18-23

Thyatira was a small city in Asia at the time. Still, being a Roman colony, it was heavily engaged in idol worship.

Jesus is the Son of God with penetrating eyes of judgment Revelation 1:14. Remember, brass is pure (Revelation 1:15 )

All of those whom Jesus addressed would have known the reference to Jezebel from the Old Testament. She was evil and injected Baal worship into the culture of Israel.

The woman whom Jesus referred to as Jezebel was pretending to be a prophetess. She was leading them into sexual sin and idolatry.

You can read about Jezebel HERE

She did not repent even though Jesus gave her plenty of time to do so.

Thus, Jesus would make her suffer and kill her children.

Summary of Revelation 2:12-17

Jesus now addresses the church in Pergamum. He praises them for remaining true to his name. Yet, some of them follow Balaam’s teaching, are sexually immoral, and eat sacrificial food. Some of them also believe in the teaching of the Nicolaitans. He asks them to repent. Jesus says that those who follow him will receive hidden manna and a white stone with a new name.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 2: Revelation 2:12-17

3) Jesus told them, “You remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me.”

4a) Balaam’s teaching led some to commit sexual sins and eat food sacrificed to idols. Balaam was a false prophet. He betrayed Israel and led them astray by using the Moabites to entice the Israelites with prostitution and idolatry. He made the Israelites curse themselves.

b) The sword of his mouth. This weapon represents His word.

c) God’s word can explain things to you, such as what is sin and what is not sin. God’s word offers examples of others who lived in sin and the consequences. God’s word exposes the evil of sin and helps us to see our evil ways.

5) Those who are victorious will receive, “I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.” Jesus’ provisions are critical in my life since it’s all from him. We each get a new name with the Lord once we are saved. Jesus offers eternal life. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 2: Revelation 2:12-17

Again, I love how Jesus warns us and tells us of what we are doing wrong so that we can correct it and live like him!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 5, Day 2: Revelation 2:12-17

Pergamum was a political capital noted for its great learning centers and culture. It also had many temples to the Roman gods and temples to the Roman emperor. It was a city known for its healing since there was a medical school there. Therefore, many people suffering from medical conditions would come here looking for healing.

We saw in Revelation 1:16 that a double-edged sword came from Jesus’ mouth. Now, we see here that Jesus holds this sword. In Hebrews 4:12, the word of God is like a two-edged sword.

Jesus repeats to every church in Revelation that he knows their works. He knows ours, too.

Jesus says Pergamum has much evil there.

There are many people not named in the Bible. Here, Antipas is named and praised for being a faithful martyr but this is all that we know of him. Remember, a martyr is a witness, as much as one who gave up their life for their beliefs.

Balaam could not curse Israel directly, so he used others to turn them to sin. Great read HERE

Sexual immorality was rampant in the Roman Empire, and no one found fault with it. In fact, if you weren’t sexually immoral, you were the oddball.

As we mentioned previously, Bible scholars believe the Nicolaitans approved of immorality, too.

Essentially, the Christians of Pergumum were too tolerant of these other teachings.

Jesus tells 5 of the 7 churches in Revelation to repent. Repent, or face Jesus’ judgment (the double-edged sword). In this instance, Jesus’ weapon is his Word.

Manna is God’s provision. (John 6:41)

A white stone was a blessing in this instance. In ancient times, white stones were used for many things: as part of a census, a sign of acquittal in a trial, they were used for tickets, or for showing friendship.

A new name refers to “a new you” that is forged when you accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior. Here, this is the assurance of a ticket to heaven!

The woman tells Jesus that the Messiah is coming. Jesus declares he is the Messiah.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 5, Day 4: John 4:19-26

8 ) The woman was referencing how the Samaritans worship differently than the Jews. They worshipped on Mount Gerazim. I believe she is saying how she is not like Jesus. Bible scholars say she was evading talking about her life. The Samaritans also only accepted the first 5 books of the Old Testament.

9a) Jesus refers to himself as part of the Jews. He says that salvation is from the Jews.

b) Jesus is part of God’s chosen people.
