Moving to Daniel 9, this message looks at the context of Daniel 9 as well as Daniel's significant prayer in this chapter. The structure and nature of Daniel's prayer, which is remarkably similar to the Lord's prayer taught by Jesus, can serve as a model of prayer for all believers. Listen as Pastor Mathew exposits this very applicable portion of the Book of Daniel.

In our study of Daniel 8, Pastor Mathew challenged the traditional interpretation of the little horn in Daniel 8, arguing that the little horn is actually the end time Antichrist. In this message, Pastor Mathew explains the methodology that led to his interpretation of the little horn in Daniel 8. This methodology, along with associated principles, can provide a helpful approach to the interpretation of biblical prophecy in general.

In this message, Pastor Mathew finishes Daniel 8. In keeping with the interpretation that the little horn of Daniel 8 is the eschatological Antichrist, the remainder of Daniel 8 provides even more information about the rise and personal characteristics of the Antichrist.

Daniel 8 introduces a new vision that came to Daniel about two years after the vision in Daniel 7. This vision in Daniel 8, although involving the Greek and Persian Empires, has a primary focus on an individual called the "little horn." Historically, the "little horn" in Daniel 8 has been interpreted as Antiochus IV Epiphanes. However, as Pastor Mathew moves through this chapter, he will seek to demonstrate that the little horn in Daniel 8 is the same little horn of Daniel 7, the Antichrist who will come to power at the end of the age.

Daniel 7 is the hinge in the Book of Daniel, combining what came before (Daniel 1-6) with a new orientation in the book. Daniel 7 begins a series of visions that came directly to Daniel and that would be focused on both the spiritual forces behind nations and the future of God's people. In this first message on Daniel 7, Pastor Mathew covers the vision of the four beasts.

In this second installment of Daniel 6, Pastor Mathew teaches on Daniel and his deliverance from the lions' den. In life there are really only two choices. We can live for our own desires and glory and face a judgment that is more severe than we think we deserve, or we can live for God's desires and glory, which will bring deliverance and blessing beyond what we actually deserve. Daniel chose the second.

Persecution is a significant theme in the Book of Daniel, and if you are a true follower of God, the experience of some form of persecution is unavoidable. In this message, Pastor Mathew introduces the topic of persecution, focusing on its inevitability and the causes that lead to it. A better understanding of persecution should help one endure it when (not if) it comes.

In Daniel 6, the Medo-Persians are now in charge, having conquered the Babylonians. Daniel is advanced in age and a stranger to the royal court of the Medo-Persians, but God would still use him as a powerful testimony to the new leadership. However, promotions and success can draw envy and increased scrutiny. Just like his three friends before him, Daniel would become the target of persecution.
