AG Sunday School Lesson May 31, 2026. Daniel 9:1-27.
In this edition of the Assembly of God Sunday School Lesson for May 31, 2026, Donnie Bryson explores the profound connection between "Prayer and Prophecy," focusing on the vision and intercession of the prophet Daniel.
Drawing from Daniel 9, the lesson examines how Daniel, recognizing the fulfillment of Jeremiah's 70-year prophecy regarding the desolation of Jerusalem, turned to God in a powerful act of confession and petition. Donnie highlights the humility of Daniel's prayer—where he took responsibility for the failures of his people—and the subsequent visit from the angel Gabriel to provide insight into the "70 weeks" prophecy.
Key highlights from this lesson include:
The Power of Scriptural Prayer: How Daniel used the existing prophecies of Jeremiah to inform and ignite his prayer life.
A Model of Intercession: Understanding Daniel’s approach of fasting, sackcloth, and ashes as he pleaded for God's mercy and the restoration of Jerusalem.
The 70 Weeks Deciphered: A breakdown of the 70 weeks from a dispensationalist perspective, including the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the future tribulation period.
God’s Righteousness vs. Our Unfaithfulness: Exploring the contrast between God's steadfast loyalty and the people's repeated rebellion.
Donnie concludes with three central truths:
God is in the forgiving business: We lean on His mercy, not our own worth.
God wins: If we are on His team, the ultimate victory is ours.
Grace in Interpretation: While there are many ways to interpret biblical prophecy, we must remain united in the core belief that Jesus is coming back.
