This sermon focuses on the prophecies in the book of Daniel, specifically the prophecies about the fall of empires and the restoration of Israel. Dr. Smith emphasizes that God gives us prophecy not for us to feel superior, but to lead us to repentance. Daniel, after studying the prophecies of Jeremiah, discovers that the exile will last 70 years and that a new temple will be built. This knowledge leads him to pray and confess the sins of his people and acknowledging their unfaithfulness that led to their exile. Dr. Smith emphasizes that true understanding of prophecy should motivate personal repentance and inspire hope in God's control over history. The prophecy of 70 weeks, according to the Dr. Smith, points to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, culminating in the day of Pentecost and the establishment of the church as the new temple of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to find hope in God's plan, engage in personal repentance, and boldly live out their faith in light of God's ultimate control and the eternal hope found in Jesus Christ.
