In the days of those kings, God will set up a kingdom. Daniel chapter 2 verse 44
Daniel was carried into exile to Babylon about 605 BC (Dan. 1:1-7; 2:25b).
Why should we follow Jesus?
Why not follow Confucius, or Buddha, or Muhammad?
One of the reasons why we should follow Jesus, rather than Confucius or Buddha or Muhammad, is our lesson for today:
Some of the many prophecies concerning Jesus in contrast to no prophecies concerning others.
The prophet Jeremiah lived before and through the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 B.C.
One of Jeremiah’s many prophecies before that disaster is as follows:
1. The promise of the new covenant (vv. 31, 32)

David’s Song (also recorded as Psalm 18) is first and foremost a prophesy of the coming Messiah, as it says things which cannot be said of any ordinary man.
However, it is also a summary and reflection of the life of David, who sang this song “in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.” And thus we consider the great drama of the life of David with it’s many ups and downs, and see how through it all, David was faithful to the LORD (despite his many sins and shortcomings), and the LORD rewarded David and delivered him from his enemies.
All of this serves to place David as a witness for us to the faithfulness of God. Why should we believe this prophesy of a faithful Messiah who is delivered from His enemies…? Because David was a faithful man whom God delivered from his enemies.
David’s life is the perfect testament to the faithfulness of God towards those who serve Him
Hannah was married to Elkanah, but had been barren her whole life. But through much prayer, she was granted a child by the LORD, and so she became the mother of the child who was to become the prophet Samuel.
She had promised the LORD that once weaned, the child would be given over to the temple in Jerusalem to be raised there: surely a sad day for Hannah. But Hannah, inspired by the Holy Spirit, sings a song of thanksgiving to the LORD, which sets out her gratitude and exaltation in the LORD for this great blessings, and sets the scene for the coming events in the books of Samuel: evil men brought to destruction, the humble and good raised to glory, sin punished and wisdom rewarded.
