THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

Stephen N. Haskell

“But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days.” Daniel 12:13.

and thy soul shall live." In this time of peril,

how did Zedekiah act? Did he deliver himself

unto the Babylonians? God had commanded it;

the city would have been saved by it; his own

soul would have been saved. Zedekiah

pleaded a most human excuse, saying, "I am

afraid."

In these three sons is revealed the weakness,

the cowardice, the wickedness, and the final

ruin of those trained for the service of the

world and not for the service of God.
