The book of Daniel opens up by telling us about Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. These four young men had all been given jobs in the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon because their wisdom and understanding was found to be ten times better than any of the king’s other magicians and astrologers. This knowledge and ability was given to them by God because of their faithfulness and trust in Him.
