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.





                            The Glory Belongs to God—The lesson


                            that the Lord would have all humanity


                           learn from the experience of the king of


                           Babylon is that all who walk in pride He


                                is able to abase. By stern discipline


                           Nebuchadnezzar had to learn the lesson


                                that God, not man, is Ruler, that His


                            kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. So


                                  man today must learn that God is


                           supreme. When men gain success in the


                            work of the Lord, it is because God has


                              given them this success, not for their


                            own glory, but for God's glory. He who


                               seeks to steal a ray of light from the


                           glory of the Lord will find that he will be


                                     punished for his presumption.
