  • Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: The three friends of Daniel, also known as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were also exiled to Babylon. They refused to worship the image of Nebuchadnezzar and were miraculously delivered from the fiery furnace.
  • Nebuchadnezzar: The king of Babylon who conquered Jerusalem and took many Jews into captivity. He had several dreams that Daniel interpreted for him, and he witnessed the power of God through Daniel and his friends. He also suffered a period of madness and humiliation until he acknowledged God as the Most High.
  • Belshazzar: The last king of Babylon who was killed during the invasion of the Persians. He saw a mysterious handwriting on the wall that Daniel deciphered for him, announcing his doom.

The Book of Remembrance

  Mal 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Mal 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Mal 3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
