Were you surprised to find this lesson end with civil disobedience? We’ve talked about the revivals of Hezekiah and Josiah as a form of resistance and rebellion against all other claims. We’ve watched Jeremiah being labeled a traitor. Now we’ve seen Daniel see-sawing between promotion and execution!

This all should make sense in a lesson where we’re considering God’s claims on His people. If His kingdom is our first citizenship, then we’re probably going to be heroes some days and villains on others. 

It turns out that Daniel made it possible to wrap up our modules on the Assyrian and Babylonian periods with one of the major themes of these prophets. We won’t want to forget this great theology as we head next to the new world of the restoration in the Persian period.
