Answer Details
King Darius testified that the God of Daniel was a living God because of Daniel's demonstration of faith in God. According to the Bible, Daniel was a Jewish exile who served in the court of King Darius of Babylon. When Darius issued a decree forbidding anyone from praying to any god or man except the king for a period of thirty days, Daniel continued to pray to the God of Israel three times a day as was his custom. His enemies reported him to the king, who was forced to order Daniel's punishment by being thrown into a den of lions. However, the next day when Darius went to the den and found that Daniel was still alive, he was amazed and declared that the God of Daniel must be a living God. He ordered that Daniel be released and that those who had accused him be thrown into the den instead. Daniel's unwavering faith in God and his refusal to compromise his beliefs, even in the face of death, convinced King Darius that the God of Israel was real and powerful. The story shows the importance of faith and obedience to God, and how it can have a powerful impact on others.

Answer Details
The dry bones mentioned by Prophet Ezekiel in the statement "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord..." refer to the whole house of Israel. In the Old Testament, the prophet Ezekiel had a vision in which he was taken by the Spirit of God to a valley full of dry bones. God asked Ezekiel if the dry bones could live again, and Ezekiel replied that only God knew. Then God instructed Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones, saying "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord." As Ezekiel prophesied, the bones began to come together, and sinews and flesh covered them, but they still had no breath. Then God instructed Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath, and it came into the bones, and they lived and stood on their feet as a vast army. The vision of the dry bones was a metaphor for the whole house of Israel, who were in captivity in Babylon at the time. The vision was a message of hope that even though Israel was scattered and seemed dead, God would restore them to their land and make them a great nation once again. Therefore, the dry bones mentioned by Prophet Ezekiel in the statement "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord..." refer to the whole house of Israel.

The Sea of Galilee was an important location in Jesus' ministry, as many of his disciples were fishermen who worked on its shores, and several of Jesus' miracles took place there, including his calming of the storm and his feeding of the 5,000.

Answer Details
The four kings that reigned in Judah during the prophecy of Hosea were Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Hosea was a prophet who lived during the 8th century BCE and prophesied mainly to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. However, his prophecies also extended to the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which was ruled by these four kings during his time. Uzziah was a righteous king who reigned for 52 years, followed by his son Jotham, who was also a good king. Ahaz, however, was an evil king who followed the ways of the nations around him and led Judah into idolatry. Hezekiah, who succeeded Ahaz, was a righteous king who brought about religious reforms and turned Judah back to God. During their reigns, Hosea prophesied about the sins of both Israel and Judah and warned them of the impending judgment if they did not repent and turn back to God. He also prophesied about the restoration of Israel and Judah in the future and the coming of the Messiah. Therefore, the four kings that reigned in Judah during the prophecy of Hosea were Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
