Book of Daniel - session 25 - The words: sealed til the end - til about now

The powerful conclusion of a powerful and timely prophetic book. Chapter 12. The now-old and always-faithful prophet is assured of his great reward. The words at that time were to be sealed til the end. And now here we are - with much unsealed, and some to be revealed in its time. We consider some prophetic possibilities.

Psalms 72:18 (NKJV)
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel,
Who only does wondrous things!

Book of Daniel - session 24 - Prophecies fulfilled. Prophecies awaiting

The purposeful 'prophetic ambiguities' of our great God provide us with with confirmation, revelation and expectation - inviting us in these most challenging days of fulfillment to press into greater intimacy for alignment and success in His dramatic and glorious plans and His will. Yes Lord. 

Book of Daniel - session 23 - corrupt nations = trouble historically and prophetically still to come

Chapter 11 confirms the prophet's writings -  predicting (in HIS future and in OUR past) the machinations of corrupt nations, including the troubles of covenant Israel. That proven-perfect predictability will take us into the upcoming season of trouble on earth, providing us the faith and assurance our God reigns through it all. 

Book of Daniel - session 22 - The Perfection of Prophecy - what that means for us, now

The book of Daniel's historically fact-checkable prophetic accuracy - notably Chapter 11 and forward - points precisely to the days in which we're living, and the most critical days ahead. 

Not Passing Over Passover - 2024 and forever

Passover, from its introduction by God to Moses, comes with a "for all generations" and "everlasting ordinance" non-expiration date. Ezekiel 45 reveals Passover observance during the Millennium. I believe it's an ordinance and an invitation to an impartation of faith - faith that will be greatly desired during upcoming challenging times. Meanwhile the participating Church will be standing beside beloved Israel in observance, to encourage, love on and even provoke Israel to a place of understanding of God's faithfulness as well as presence. 

Book of Daniel - session 21 - Our lives - learning to understand God. As the rockets fall.

We spend time addressing the natural occurrences as well as the supernatural happenings in our world, learning by Daniel's example how to walk successfully with a God who is intent on performing His holy purposes on earth, always centered around His covenant people Israel. There's reflection back into chapters 7 and 8, looking into chapter 11 and considering our place in the plan of God, in these most critical times. 

Book of Daniel - session 20 - God's timing, marvelous plans, and anointed ones in the mystery of history

As the current most critical days unfold and prophecies come to light, also coming to light are differing prayerful opinions and timing calculations that can frazzle us a bit. We look into some encouraging situations where godly men, students of scripture, work to convey the marvelous plan of our great God. And through it all, our eyes always on Him remains our success. 

Heifers, Holy Days, and Hamas - bonafide biblical connections?

Numbers 19 is the one biblical chapter addressing an acceptable cleansing method where the burnt remains of a perfect red heifer is specified. What might this have to do with Easter and Passover 2024 and Hamas? Why has Hamas cited their concerns about red heifers as being one provocation for their October 7 invasion?

Meanwhile #1: The saints understand the one and only cleansing means for all of mankind is our crucified Lord.

Meanwhile #2: The nations rage, and what is prophesied as being in place prior to the Lord's return will eventually be in place in the Lord's time.  Our eyes are on Him. 

Book of Daniel - session 19 - The startling accuracy of prophecy sets a high bar for the saints today

The prophet Daniel, mature, sober, on fire for God in his senior years, demonstrates for us all potential of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Our Lord's Church, on earth during these most critical times, is invited into, anointed for, and accountable to represent God well and powerfully, to a desperate and shaking world. 

Book of Daniel - session 18 - The seasoned prophet presses in for another angelic revelation. So can we.

Daniel determines there's more for him from God, and his choice to be pressing in models for us the unlimited glory available. Another angelic encounter assures us of our own invitation and ability to encounter God in these most critical days.
