Sub-Topic 1:    A DECREE TO WORSHIP THE KING. (DANIEL 6:1-9)

Daniel was one of the Jewish captives taken to Babylon. While in Babylon, his faithfulness, honesty and peculiar divine endowment made him to progress in that foreign land.

King Darius had divided his kingdom into one hundred and twenty provinces for administrative convenience. Each of these provinces was headed by a Satrap (i.e. a governor). He further appointed three presidents to oversee these Satraps. Daniel happened to be one of the three presidents. He distinguished himself and became popular in the kingdom and the most favoured of the three presidents because he was filled with an excellent spirit. The king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. This move by the king attracted jealousy and hatred against Daniel from the other presidents and Satraps hence they sought ways of bringing him into disrepute before the king, so as to bring his downfall. When they could not find grounds to bring about his fall, they decided to use his religion to establish an offence against him before the king because they knew well that Daniel loved God and served Him continually.

The conspirators (the other two presidents and the officers in the land) went to the king, persuading him to establish a law which would cause an offence to pray to any other god or man other than the king, for a period of thirty days. The penalty for such offence was to cast the person into the den of lions. They further requested the king to make the law, not subject to change, in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians.
