Today’s Reading is Daniel 6:1-28.
The faithful Jew Daniel is made head of state affairs of the Persian empire after interpreting the king’s dreams. Sound familiar?
The same story is told about Joseph become vizier of Egypt after interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams! So during the persecutions by the Greek Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes authors retold the story of old how God not only saved “Daniel” during the days of the Babylonian Exile but even Joseph in Egypt. Remember how good our God has always been!
