The Confusion, Danger and Blessing of Peace – Daniel 11:21-27

 This afternoon we will return to study this scripture in detail, but for our message this morning, I’d like to take one thought and magnify it into a wider lesson. Scripture tells us that the Antichrist will solidify his power in the world through the stratagem...

The Empire of the Greeks – Daniel 11:1-20

 We are approaching the conclusion of the Book of the Prophesies of Daniel. Chapters 11 & 12 take some of the things that have already been seen, and they put a little more meat upon the bones. There are a few dividing lines in these chapters, but I couldn’t...

The Latter Days – Daniel 10:14

 As I often try to do on these warm Sunday afternoons, and after big, heavy meal, I will try to keep this short. Sometimes this is difficult, because I have to take a big subject and bring down into a little package. On other occasions it is easy, because I have a...

Be Strong, Yea, be Strong – Daniel 10:5-12a, 18-19

 When I hear the exhortation found in Daniel 10:19 my mind automatically goes back to the Book of Joshua. God’s angel said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.” In many ways, I identify with Joshua. When...

Daniel Chastened Himself – Daniel 10:10-12

 Daniel was not a great and important man simply because it was divinely ordained that he be great. It was ordained that David and Solomon would also be great and important men. But remember that David fell far short of Daniel in character and honor, and Solomon fell...

A Man Greatly Beloved – Daniel 10:10-12

 In a vision, as Daniel was facing one who appears to be the Son of God, his strength failed him. He fell prone to the ground – flat on his face. In this position and condition, he was forced to focus on the words which the Lord gave to him. And then an angelic...

Causing the Sacrifice and Oblation to Cease – Daniel 9:25-27

 Whenever the subject of the Antichrist is raised, people who are ordinarily not interested in the Bible can quickly become very interested. The Antichrist is someone who can consistently sell tabloid newspapers. He is someone about whom lots of people have opinions,...

Daniel’s Seventieth Week – Daniel 9:24-27

 I mentioned last week that I deliberately chose not to study all of Daniel’s seventy weeks at one time. I have my reasons: First, under the circumstances of last week, we might have lost our attentions by the time we reached the seventh week, long before we got...

The Angel Gabriel – Daniel 9:20-22

 Earlier in this study of Daniel, we had a lesson on angels. It was a doctrinal message, dealing with some of the general information that the Lord has given to us about His very special messengers. Then about 6 or 8 weeks later, when we came to Daniel 8, I referred...
