This week’s message (Wednesday morning USA time) continues considering Daniel’s visions of “the last days” and what they mean to us, living as we do in 21st Century Babylon. Chapter 8 brings us two years forward from last week’s timing, and God delivers an even more troubling vision to His faithful servant Daniel. This vision details the fall of the Medo-Persian empire, the rise and division of the Greek empire, and the appearance of a terrible, evil person who would defile the sanctuary in Jerusalem and exalt himself against almighty God Himself, even destroying some of God’s own people.
Daniel, by whom God gave interpretations to Babylonian kings, needed God’s plan revealed to himself by the angel Gabriel. The interpretation literally made the old prophet sick! How grieveeing d are we by the sin and corruption in our world and by the suffering of God’s people at the hands of the wicked? Let’s talk about it, and let’s pray for those being persecuted for bearing His Name.
