Daniel proved his faith in God.
(1) He refused to pollute himself with Babylonian foods that were not allowed according to the Mosaic Law.
(2) Daniel refused to bow down to the image of Nebuchadnezzar
(3) Daniel showed no fear at being thrown into the lion's den. He continued his daily routine of prayer to Jehovah.
(4) Daniel discerned the nearness of the end of the 70 years of desolation of Jerusalem, according to the writings of Jeremiah. (Jer 25:11, 12) Humbly Daniel acknowledged the sins of his people and prayed that Jehovah would cause His face to shine upon the desolated sanctuary in Jerusalem.
(5) Daniel was rewarded for his faithful service. The angel’s statement to Daniel, “As for you yourself, go toward the end; and you will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days,” seems to imply that his life was nearing its close, with assurance of a resurrection for him.—Da 12:13.
