Daniel 11:31-45

History—and prophecy—has a tendency to repeat itself. In the description of the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes, we see parallels to the times we are about to face. But this is not all negative, we are given the task of being testimonies for our Lord in these dark days and we have the promise of His imminent return to motivate us to make the most of this time. Remember that what we hope for determines what we live for. The times are appointed by God, the dates are set. The question is, what are we living for?

Daniel 11:21-35

Three times in this section of verses the phrase “time appointed” appears. God has set specific times in which He will judge the world for its sin. During this short time in which we live, we are confronted with the ultimatum to either repent of our sin or be lost in the judgment and wrath of God. We either deal with our sin or we are done. The days of God’s wrath are drawing nigh, we might not have much time.

Daniel 11:5-20

It is a good reminder for us that God is operating in the background throughout all the events of human history and of our individual lives. Thank you for listening this week despite my sickness, I am looking forward to recovering and being able to spend more time in Bible study and sharing from the book of Daniel!

Daniel 11:1-4

As we embark on this lengthy vision, we are reminded that God sees the end from the beginning, even when all we can see is our own perspective. It is amazing to think that much of what Daniel describes in this prophecy has already been fulfilled. This is comforting because we know that all that God has promised will be fulfilled, it is only a matter of time.

Daniel 10:1-21

When it comes to spiritual warfare, we must remember several things: (1) God is sovereign and more powerful than our spiritual enemies, (2) we will face spiritual attack and should be prepared with the armor of God, (3) spiritual warfare can take many different forms including long periods of seeming silence from God, (5) we are not to address the spiritual wickedness, but are to rely on Christ and rest on Him in prayer. Thankfully, God’s love is what ultimately protects us and we have His Word as our guide. Spiritual warfare is not easy and it requires a lot of discernment and faith, but it is a valuable part of the Christian’s maturity and conformity into the image of Christ, so we can find joy even in this.

Daniel 9:24-27

As we finish up this chapter in Daniel, we are reminded that God never leaves anything undone. The Jewish people are still His chosen people, and God will perform mighty acts and wonders during the tribulation to bring His people back to Jesus their Messiah. This is a good reminder for us that God will not forsake His promises or revoke His gifts and callings.

Daniel 9:24-27

There is a very important window of time that occurs between verses 26 and 27 that the New Testament identifies as the Church age. There are unbelievable privileges and blessings for those who are a part of this time period. If you have not trusted Christ, today is the acceptable year of the Lord.

Daniel 9:24-27 with Matthew 2:1-12

Fast-forward from the time when Daniel received the prophecy in Persia about 515 years, and the Magi living in the same region were anxiously awaiting the coming Jewish Messiah. Today we are looking at the Wise Men in the story of the first of Christ. Their story is directly related to this vision given to Daniel hundreds of years before, and it teaches us some encouraging and challenging lessons. Now, let’s look at the prophecy from the perspective of the Magi from the East.

Daniel 9:24-25

Time is moving towards Christ’s kingdom, but first some major things have to happen. The biggest of these are laid out in Daniel’s seventy weeks prophecy. We want to demystify this prophecy a little bit for you in this episode by providing some historical background and scratching the surface to the literal events that are being represented, especially as it relates to Christ. Join us as we cover the first two and a half verses of this four-verse revelation.
