I did not randomly start thinking about Solomon but as I read the ending of his life in 1 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles, I could not help but wonder how he managed to fall so miserably.

Clinging to His words
The book of Daniel is probably the only book of the Bible with the most supernatural elements. From dreams to visions, to manifestations of those, there is indeed quite a lot to grasp.
