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...

The Ancient of Days and His Son – Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14

 Daniel has been given a dream – more specifically, a vision about four vicious beasts. I am reasonably sure that we can identify the meaning of these beasts and some of the details about them. I did that last Sunday night, but without proving my case. Tonight I...

Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts – Daniel 7:1-28

 “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed.” With the end of Daniel 6 we come to the conclusion of the historical part of the Book of Daniel. The second half of this book, begins long before...

Daniel’s God from Darius’ Perspective – Daniel 6:25-27

 We need to remind ourselves from time to time that the basic purpose of the Bible is to reveal God. Yes, there is a great deal that we can learn of Jehovah through the study of biology, sociology, mathematics, physics and other sciences. But as we know, because...
