About the Book of Daniel Quiz

Daniel was taken from Jerusalem to Babylon as a young man and served in the courts of kings for the rest of his life. The first half of his book tells of faithfulness under pressure: refusing the king's food, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace, the proud Nebuchadnezzar eating grass, the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast and Daniel in the lions' den. The second half records his visions of rising and falling empires, one like a son of man coming with the clouds, and the promise of a kingdom that will never be destroyed. This quiz covers all 12 chapters, and every answer comes with the chapter and verse.
