"Have you ever tried to understand Daniel's role in God's larger plan? Today’s episode examines how Daniel’s story connects to Hezekiah, Babylonian stargazers, and the Magi — showing Scripture as one unified, Christ-centered narrative across centuries."
Pastor Teddy, a.k.a Fred Kenney, Jr., explores the fascinating historical context surrounding the Book of Daniel, connecting biblical events spanning hundreds of years through the mysterious Babylonian stargazers who became aware of divine signs in the heavens. This is an exciting further look into what will be the backdrop to Plays On Word's latest play, 'DAN' set for release soon.
