INTRO - Last week we identified how God teaches us to use history to interpret the book of Daniel. For many, this book is confusing and sometimes leads to division. However, God’s purpose is to prepare and encourage, not to confuse and divide. As we’ve noted, the key is understanding the two great crises.…

Introduction In our message last week we took a look at Antiochus Epiphanes. We noted God used Daniel to write this prophetic book.
