The warning is given God will destroy the earth and all who are not in Christ, just as He destroyed the earth and all who were not in the ark. Matt 24:37-39

In the Book of Daniel, God’s judgment on Israel through the Babylonian exile was a purposeful act to lead His people to repentance and prepare them for restoration. Daniel’s prayer in chapter 9 exemplifies the repentant heart God seeks, acknowledging sin and appealing to divine mercy. The eventual return under Cyrus fulfilled God’s promises, demonstrating His sovereignty and faithfulness. This pattern offers timeless lessons for believers, affirming that God’s discipline, though painful, is a means to draw His people back to Him, ultimately pointing to the greater restoration through Christ. The Book of Daniel, through today’s introduction and Daniel 1:1-2, reveals God’s sovereignty over history, His grace in judgment, and His eschatological plan through Christ. Its connections to Ezekiel and Revelation affirm a pre-tribulation hope, inspiring believers to resist cultural compromise, trust God’s providence, and live faithfully, anticipating Christ’s return.
