Why Did Daniel Interceed For The Wise Men? Daniel and his friends intercede because he realizes that he and his people are also recognized as part of wise men. Their intercession wasn’t the type of intervention that the children of God in this dispensation will be fasting and praying while their general overseer and Bishops will be collecting tithes, areas or increments, sacrificial offerings, and Isaac as seed. It was pure intercession for souls.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PURPOSE OF THEIR INTERCESSION?
A king demanded what he thought the supposed wise men in his town knew, but they didn’t. Then he ordered that they should go and kill all the magicians in his territory because they couldn’t give him the answer he requested. However, Daniel realizes that there is no way he and his friends will be exempted from the king’s verdict because they’re also considered as part of the wise men in the king’s service; therefore, Daniel seeks an urgent prayer of intercession.
The scripture says, “And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain, and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would give him time and that he would shew the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon… Daniel 2:13-19, 22-30.
The above scenario wasn’t an issue of how in-experience, experienced, influential, or old were the magicians, it was a wicked king’s wrath on display, and for God to prove himself. Believers in Christ, Are You Ready To Intercede For Divine Intervention Concerning Your Family, Friends, Or Nation?
