Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible

In asking the question, “Where did we get the Bible?” ultimately we must answer that we received it from God. This is, in fact, the claim the Bible makes for itself. The apostle Paul says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16).

The biblical word for ‘inspired’ means Scripture is “breathed out” by God. The apostle Peter describes this process, “First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Pet. 1:20-21). God breathed out His Word by using godly men to write down exactly what He wanted them to write.

The Babylonian Exile

The Babylonian Exile, as described in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, is a significant event in the history of ancient Israel. This period of exile occurred in the 6th century BCE when the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II besieged and ultimately destroyed Jerusalem, leading to the exile of many Israelites to Babylon. The Book of Daniel, one of the prophetic books of the Bible, provides an account of this tumultuous time, emphasizing the faith and resilience of the Jewish people. The Book of Daniel opens with the young prophet Daniel, along with his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, being among the Israelites taken captive to Babylon.
