Current Unit: Hope In Exile
After years of living in sin, God’s people were sent into exile. The Southern Kingdom of Judah was captured by Babylon. Daniel’s visions of the future showed that God is in control at all times. God used faithful people to continue His plan to provide salvation through Jesus.
