Daniel 1-6 Overview
Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.”
Spanish philosopher George Santayana
Ezekiel 8:5,6,10,12,13,14,16,18
Appears they turned the temple into a hub for every other religion but the true one.
Are we guilty of repeating the history of God’s people?
Have we turned the building into a shrine, ignoring what is being taught, each other?
Solution is Daniel 1-6
