In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
3. Nebuchadnezzar entered Jerusalem three times to subdue
it.
The last time was in 586 BC. Jerusalem was destroyed and
the people of Israel was deported to Babylon.
The second time was in 597 BC. The king took the
craftsmen, blacksmiths and other important men (including
Ezekiel).
The first time was in 605 BC. The princes of the people were
taken to Babylon. The idea was to "babylonize" those
princes to make them loyal to Babylon. Daniel, Hannaniah,
Mishael and Azariah were part of that group.
God is in control. Daniel 1:1-2, 21
Training:
Paganizing. Daniel 1:3-7
Diet. Daniel 1:8-16
Results:
Perfect. Daniel 1:4, 17
Superior. Daniel 1:18-20
4. “And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand,
with some of the articles of the house of God, which he
carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and
he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.”
(Daniel 1:2)
The true God may be seen as a defeated and exiled god who
cannot defend His own people.
However, the expression "the Lord gave…" changes everything.
God was using Babylon to punish the impiety of His
people (Habakkuk 1:5-11).
He is in control of history. He restricted the
punishment to 70 years. He used Cyrus to make His
people free again (Esdras 1:1).
We can be sure that God will
always be in control of history.
He will protect His people to the
end, until His Second Coming.
5. “To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar;
to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.” (Daniel 1:7)
Nebuchadnezzar wanted to turn the Hebrew princes into loyal Babylonians. He
tried to change their mindset and worship.
He changed their
residence, from
humble Jerusalem
to sumptuous
Babylon
He changed
their names, to
link their
identity to
Babylonian
gods
He changed
their
education, to
teach them
about
Babylonian
culture and
religion
He changed their
diet, to make them
worship the
Babylonian gods
If they accepted all those changes, they'd
become royal public workers. Would they trade
their principles for an easy and comfortable life?
6. “But Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defile
himself with the portion of the
king’s delicacies, nor with the
wine which he drank; therefore
he requested of the chief of
the eunuchs that he might not
defile himself.” (Daniel 1:8)
Apparently, the young
Hebrew men couldn't do
anything to resist the
changes.
However, Daniel wasn't
willing to give in to the
things that went against
his faith.
The king's diet included meats that were
forbidden by God (Leviticus 11).
That food had been sacrificed to
Babylonian gods. Eating them was part
of their worship (Acts 15:28-29).
Daniel suggested a diet to avoid both issues.
Besides, he requested to drink something
that let him think clearly.
Above all, he trusted God. He believed He
would act extraordinarily in a short period of
time (ten days).
7. “There are many among professed Christians today
who would decide that Daniel was too particular
and would pronounce him narrow and bigoted.
They consider the matter of eating and drinking of
too little consequence to require such a decided
stand—one involving the probable sacrifice of
every earthly advantage. But those who reason
thus will find in the day of judgment that they
turned from God’s express requirements and set up
their own opinion as a standard of right and
wrong. They will find that what seemed to them
unimportant was not so regarded of God. His
requirements should be sacredly obeyed.”
E.G.W. (Counsels on Health, p. 69)
8. “As for these four young men, God
gave them knowledge and skill in all
literature and wisdom; and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and
dreams.” (Daniel 1:17)
Ashpenaz choose young men "without
any physical defect" (Daniel 1:4 NIV).
This was Nebuchadnezzar's symbolic
thanksgiving sacrifice to his god Marduk.
All young men were without any physical or
mental defect. However, only four showed
no spiritual defects.
God awarded their faithfulness by giving
them a physical appearance and an
intellectual knowledge above all the other
Hebrew young men (v. 15, 17).
God also gives us wisdom to remain faithful
to Him in a world contaminated with myths
and lies.
9. SUPERIOR
They had to learn things that went against
their beliefs. Today, we also have to learn
wrong things that are taught as truths.
God is in control of history
God gives us wisdom to overcome in hostile environments
God awards those who decide to obey him no matter the circumstances
Thanks to the decisions they made to defend their
faith, God could bless them by giving them
superior intellectual skills. They passed their exam
with honors!
We can learn the following from their experience:
10. “Daniel was subjected to the severest
temptations that can assail the youth of
today; yet he was true to the religious
instruction received in early life. He was
surrounded with influences calculated to
subvert those who would vacillate between
principle and inclination; yet the word of
God presents him as a faultless character.
Daniel dared not trust to his own moral
power. Prayer was to him a necessity. He
made God his strength, and the fear of God
was continually before him in all the
transactions of his life.”
E.G.W. (Fundamentals of Christian Education, cp. 8, p. 78)
