When – the Cut Off – Daniel 9:20-27

 I’m going to try to avoid overburdening you this afternoon. This is one of the most important scriptures in all the Word of God, so we need to go slowly and to try to get it right. And then there is the fact that many of you have eaten more than you should...

W-5; The Messiah Cut Off – Daniel 9:26

 When Judy and I were still in Canada, we sometimes watched a television news magazine called “W-5.” It was on the same line as “60 Minutes,” “Dateline,” and “20/20” here in the States. I’m not thinking about the...

The God of Renown – Daniel 9:15

 If you had all the resources available to any human being, and you could become world famous through one of those means, what would you choose as your avenue toward fame? Just about everyone knows the name Al Capone. His name is famous, or perhaps we should say...

Promise of Judgment – Daniel 9:9-12

 In the course of Daniel’s confession of Israel’s sin, he mentioned a warning made by Moses. Commentators argue just a bit about to what place in the writings of Moses Daniel refers. John Gill summarizes those quarrels to either Leviticus 26 or Deuteronomy...

Daniel’s Confession of Sin – Daniel 9:1-19

 On Wednesday nights, for a couple of months now, we have been looking at lessons which come from David’s terrible sins of adultery and murder. If it was nothing but the sin itself, it would be a very sad and painful study – yet still it would be...

Daniel’s God – Daniel 9:1-19

 In my reading over the last few weeks, several authors have reiterated to me what I have also said… One of the primary problems with modern Christianity – and obviously the world in general – is the incorrect and very low perception that people have...

Thou Art Wiser Than Daniel – Daniel 8:15-19

 This is a chapter of prophesy, and so, in a special way, it is important. But it is more important than most prophecies in the sense that it is also now history. If this chapter, which is so hated by God’s enemies, can be placed before the mind of the agnostic,...

Interpreting the Vision of Daniel 8 – Daniel 8:1-27

 You may think that I have gotten lazy, or that I’m not prepared this evening, but such is not the case. I have spent hours looking at this chapter, trying to come up with some marvelous sermon outlines. Unfortunately – I have not been successful. Despite...

The Historicity of the Book of Daniel – Daniel 8:1-7; 15-21

 One of my concerns, as I was first thinking about preaching from this book, was that I wasn’t always going to be able to find subjects which I considered appropriate for our Sunday morning services. I have always pictured you inviting most of our visitors to...
