Daniel 9:20-29
If you are fascinated or confused by Daniel's vision of the 70 weeks – stay tuned. The decree of King Cyrus of Persia to allow the Israelites to return to Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple, the coming and Messianic ministry of Jesus Christ, the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD … all of these events of history correspond to the 490-year time frame of Daniel's 70 weeks.
1 Peter 5:14
People can conclude a great deal about Christianity, from how Christians greet one another. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he examines the positive witness that comes from greeting one another with warmth and appropriate expressions of affection.
Daniel 9:20-29
Daniel received a divine vision regarding 70 weeks decreed for his people and their holy city – Israel and Jerusalem. Bible students and scholars have long discussed and debated the meaning of this 70 weeks, and today Harry sets forth what he believes to be the most biblically consistent explanation of this fascinating and controversial passage of Holy Scripture.
Daniel 9:20-29
People foolishly turn to fortune tellers, horoscopes, and astrology to find out about the future – but Daniel turned to the Lord in fervent prayer, confession of sin, and intense petition and intercession for his nation, and the Lord gave him wisdom, understanding, and insight concerning future events. Our prayer lives should reflect Daniel's spirit of humility, repentance, and intercession.
Daniel 9:20-29
Christians rejoice to see God answer our prayers and the prayers of other believers. But you have probably not experienced an answer to prayer quite like Daniel did. God responded to Daniel's heartfelt cry by sending the angel Gabriel with an extraordinary message of divine wisdom, insight, and revelation.
Daniel 9:1-19
In a time of national crisis, Daniel didn't throw up his hands in despair – he went to his knees in prayer. Daniel fervently prayed for God to graciously bring His nation and people to repentance, so they would turn to the Lord for mercy and blessing, and avert the divine judgment that their sins deserved. How can we learn to follow Daniel's pattern of powerful prayer?
Daniel 9:1-19
You may be familiar with the classic Christian book, "With Christ in the School of Prayer" by South African pastor and author Andrew Murray. Well, today we find ourselves with Daniel in the school of prayer, as we go to chapter 9 of his book and examine the remarkable and powerful prayer of this faithful and influential Old Testament servant of God.
1 Corinthians 15
People may say, "There are many great spiritual leaders throughout history, and many different religions in the world. What’s so special about Jesus Christ and Christianity?” You could simply reply, "The tomb is empty!" The Resurrection sets Jesus Christ apart from any other religious and spiritual leader in history, and sets Christianity apart from any other religion or system of spiritual beliefs.
Daniel 8
You may know from history class that Custer made his last stand at the Battle of Little Big Horn. But today we will look at another Little Big Horn, in chapter 8 of Daniel. In his vision Daniel sees a little horn that grows big and powerful, and brings great distress to the people of God in the Promised Land. What is the meaning of this amazing vision of the little horn that grows in size and power?
Daniel 8
Nature programs may show two rams or mountain goats violently clash horns and butt heads until one asserts his supremacy. Daniel’s continuing vision depicts one such battle in which the stakes are significantly higher. Daniel tells of a mighty ram with two horns, and his clash with a swift one-horned goat – and the outcome of this battle affects the entire world.
Daniel 7
One consistent theme in apocalyptic biblical literature is Satan's relentless rebellion against God's Kingdom, using false prophets, false teachers, and the world's kingdoms as pawns in his cosmic treason. Thankfully, another consistent theme is the constant reminder that, no matter how badly things may seem to be going at any particular time in history, God ultimately wins.
Daniel 7
You probably know of the famous Vietnam War movie “Apocalypse Now” – but today we will go back to the time of Daniel for a look at “Apocalypse Then.” Holy Scripture contains extraordinary examples of apocalyptic prophetic literature, and one of the most noteworthy is found in chapter 7 of the book of Daniel, describing his remarkable apocalyptic visions.
Daniel 7
Daniel chapter 2 describes Nebuchadnezzar's vision of large statue of a man, comprised of four different metals from head to toe, that is smashed in pieces by a stone that grows into a mighty mountain. Chapter 7 tells of Daniel's vision of four great and terrible beasts that arise from the sea. What is the connection between these two amazing visions that may seem to have little in common?
Hebrews 12:1-2
A popular contemporary praise chorus declares, “He is exalted, the King Is exalted on High.” Indeed, the book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus endured the cross, despising its shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Therefore, we are to live every day with our hearts and minds fixed upon Jesus Christ, for He is our Risen Lord, Exalted King, and the author and perfecter of our faith.
Daniel 7
The first six chapters of the book of Daniel relate his memoirs – highlights of a man of God's remarkable life from his youth to his 80's. But beginning in chapter 7, we move from Daniel's memorable memoirs, to the remarkable messages that he received from the Lord. What is the historical context in which Daniel received his first astounding vision – the vision of the four beasts?
Daniel 6
You have probably known the story of Daniel in the lion's den since you were a child. But you may not realize that if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are in much the same situation as Daniel was. The Bible declares that Satan prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour – and that someone may be you. Do you trust in the Lion of Judah to protect and deliver you?
Daniel 6
After the fall of Babylon to the Medo-Persian empire, Daniel continued following the Lord and living as a loyal subject of the king. But his envious enemies devised a plan to use his steadfast faithful commitment and against him to get Daniel thrown into the den of lions. When you come under fire for your faith, are you like Daniel able to stand firm and steadfast in the Lord?
Daniel 5
If you can “read the writing on the wall,” it means that you know what is going to happen by looking at present circumstances and factors. The origin of this familiar saying is found in Daniel chapter 5. King Balshazzar of Babylon literally could not read the writing on the wall – but Daniel could, and it meant the imminent overthrow of Babylon by the Medes and Persians.
Daniel 5
A time of celebration can be ruined by party crashers and party poopers. With the army of the Medes and Persians closing in, King Belshazzar threw a party to lift the spirits of the Babylonians – but he didn't count on one remarkable party crasher and one noteworthy party pooper spoiling the festivities. Who were the party crasher and party pooper who truly made this a party to remember?
1 Corinthians 12
Many people feel rather ordinary, as though they are not gifted in any particular way. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he reminds us every Christian is truly gifted, because each of us is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and has been uniquely blessed with at least one spiritual gift.
