Daniel 9:1-3, 8,22-27 Isaiah 9:6, Luke 1:31-33, 21:24

When we come to God with great surrender, he listens. Daniel wanted to know about the vision Jeremiah had about the 70 years. And so he prayed with a surrendered heart, fasting, sackcloth, and ashes to hear a revelation from God about these 70 years or weeks.

Daniel knew that God would listen if he came to God with a humble and sincere heart. And so God did and sent Gabriel to explain those years to Daniel. What God can do when we pray is genuinely unique. Time in prayer is divine. Jesus opened the door for us to pray to God directly in His name. So, we have access now to the Father; what an honor it is that we can come and ask God to reveal deep things and intervene on behalf of other people as Daniel did. God gave him more details about this 70 years/weeks through Gabriel.

Let's pray and share the gospel with people, for we don't know when the final days of the 69 years/weeks will conclude.
