In this episode, Pastor and Professor Andrew Marquez considers the person behind the vision given to Daniel. Looking at Dan. 10:5-9, we recognize Daniel's encounter with an awe-inspiring individual, given divine descriptions by the Scripture. The vision terrifies Daniel's companions. Looking upon him, leave Daniel sapped of strength. He hears soothing words as he falls unconscious. Have you ever had an overwhelming encounter with God—one that left you undone, speechless, emptied of strength or pride?Dr. Andrew Marquez is Director/Dean of Wayland Baptist University's Arizona Campuses (www.wbu.edu/arizona) and Pastor of North Swan Baptist Church (www.northswanbaptist.com).

In this episode, Pastor and Professor Andrew Marquez explores the prelude to Daniel’s final vision in chapters 10–12. Focusing on verses 1–4, we encounter a prophet marked by earnest entreaty—a powerful model of prayer marked by urgency, discipline, and expectation. Daniel’s encounter begins with consequential communication from God, prompted by timely intercession and a mourning fast that reveals his deep longing for divine understanding.Discover how Daniel’s posture of prayer offers a pattern for us today—calling believers to pray fervently, listen expectantly, and fast faithfully.Dr. Andrew Marquez is Director/Dean of Wayland Baptist University's Arizona Campuses (www.wbu.edu/arizona) and Pastor of North Swan Baptist Church (www.northswanbaptist.com).

Are you prepared to suffer? Do you look forward to Christ’s Return? (Dan. 9:26-27)Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez explores the final section of Daniel's 490-year prophecy. In these verses, the Messiah is cut off, desolations are determined, and deception and abominations are disclosed. The removal of the Messiah is met with a period of devastation. Just prior to Messiah's return, similar suffering will be experienced by His people. His victory is secured at the consummation.

Do you believe in prophecy? Do you trust that God knows the future and can bring His plans to pass? (Dan. 9:24-26a)Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez discusses Daniel's 490-year prophecy. The angel reveals to Daniel a timeline in which Israel must complete 6 tasks. The timeline turns out to be a countdown to Christ. It is through the work of the Messiah that Israel will accomplish its assignments. This prophecy demonstrates God's sovereignty over time itself. He knows the future and can determine to work all things out for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
