And other undefined things
God does not have to explain everything to us does He?
In this chapter before us tonight there are things that are left unanswered even to Daniel a man of prayer, a may of faith, a man of service, a man of vision, a man of hope.
When we started this journey with book of say man of resolve, well that is how it is ends, with Daniel being comforted until his end, of what is to come at the end of age.
The other thing we have seen all throughout the book of Daniel is that God has all authority, all rule, all reign and that He will always accomplish His will, including justice.
We have seen God set up and remove kingdoms
Dan1
Dan 5:
God has brought
(Slide) We have seen visions
(Slide) Statute = kingdoms (Dan2)
(Slide) A Great tree = time of judgment (Dan4)
(Slide) Handwriting on the wall = judgment (Dan5)
(Slide) Four beasts = Kingdoms (Dan7)
(Slide) Ram and the Goat = Mead and Grecian kingdoms (Dan8)
(Slide) Vision of end of age (Dan10-12)
(Slide) So don’t worry if you don’t understand or know everythhoping pertaining to Daniel, we want to take away some major points.
(Slide) God is sovereignit is not for you to know
(Slide) God keeps His Word - including being just
(Slide) What we should be, do now
While this last chapter can be viewed in a few different ways, some think prophetic for some unknown date in future (which i’m against) some think it is fulfilled at time of the restoration of temple worship; while others think it is when the Messiah comes and the Jewish age ends and the destruction of the city in AD70.
I believe there is much we can learn from this passage with the understanding that God does not have to explain everything out to us.
Hope of Glory
Have everyone open to Dan12; then read (vv.1-4)
For Christians today our hope is found in Christ Jesus
As Peter spoke of our hope, Daniel too had hope, hope given by angel Michael (whose name means “who is like God”) - on the heals of the terrifying vision that started back in chapter 10 and just ended with the death of Antiochus Epiphanies IV.
Michael stood over to protect the people of God (v.1) in times of distress- see Messiah was still to come. the end of the age was not yet.
God knows every name written in the book of life, knows who is of faith.
(v.2) speaks of resurrection, see that was not anything new, there were several in the O.T. that spoke of resurrection.
(Slide) Abraham of Isaac - Gen22
Job - Job19:25-27
, ; all speak of a resurrected body.
(Slide) We have our hope in a final resurrection as laid out in 1Cor15 and 1The4:13ff
(Slide) But was there not other resurrections?
Lazarus?
how about the saints Jesus resurrected before his ascension, those who were in paradise?
Look at the assurance given to the faithful, to the remnant, to those of Daniels day, to those who persevere through the days of Antiochus, to those who persevere through AD70 and those saints today.
They would be in the kingdom, the kingdom spoken of in
The kingdom with the eternal king seen in
But Daniel was told to seal up the vision
It was not time for him to know or the people to know.
Oh inquiring minds, including Daniel and even the angels (v.8, 5-6).
What differs in Daniel than in Revelation, is Daniel was for the future “end of times” and Revelation was to remain unsealed.
So what is Daniel to do/ He does not know exactly what to do with this information, he has questions, he has concerns, remember he was just terrified by vision before now this.
So now what?
Unanswered Questions
(Slide) Daniel set an example for the servants of God that we can learn from
(Slide) He was resolved to prayer
(Slide) He was resolved to study of God’s Word
(Slide) He was resolved to serve God
(Slide) He was resolved to bring God glory
The Lord had always guided him, protected him and used him, as Daniel was resolved and faithful in his day we should be in our day, even when there are unanswered questions.
Micheal the protector (v.1) now has two more heavenly visitors (v.5) -
Then comes the question between the heavenly visitors, one we can draw a conclusion on who it is.
(v.6)
The One above the waters, He is dressed in linen and swears by the one who lives Eternal (v.7)
Is it a pre-incarnate Christ, it is another appearance like Melchizedek?
We don’t know for sure, but we can draw a conclusion that it is
What do we do learn is a time until the end - time, times and half a time and what happens at the end, the shattering the power of the Holy people.
Is this speaking to Daniel about the vision of Antiochus and his reign?
Is this speaking of the time of Christ ministry when he rose from the dead and shatter the power of the holy people?
Is this speaking of times of persecution just prior to AD70?
I DON”T KNOW FOR SURE - What we do know is Daniels thoughts on this
(Slide) Daniel knew that the Lord was always going to protect His Holy People, but now he hears the shattering of them so Daniel has more questions.
(Slide) Food for thought: The Book of Daniel deals with nation of Israel -One of the keys to understanding Daniel is knowing God is talking about the nation of Israel and fulfillment of God’s breaking, of God’s justice, of God’s way for all men to come to Him is through Israel and God used other nations even to purify and prepare Israel for what was to come, the Messiah and AD70
Daniel is told not to fret - well not in so many words; he again is also told to seal it up!
Dan 12:9
Many are going to suffer, the righteous and the unrighteous, but the righteous, some will die, some will be purified and refined and their faith made even stronger, but the wicked will continue in their ways.
The righteous will grow stronger in spite of the trying times.
Is the fulfilling days of Antiochus, in AD70, when?
Daniel wanted to know but was told to go your way.
Then comes another of those undefined timelines in vv.11-12
Now these dates could refer back to Antiochus and the abomination of desolation then (Specific dates); it could be a general numeric time that Daniel understood so as to bring him comfort, of what is going to happen in AD70.
What Daniel can take away from this is the Lord along changes the times and the seasons
Though there maybe, will be suffering
It is only for a time, and for those who persevere a crown of life awaits.
Then Daniel given his final words
(Slide) Daniel would pass away, 85 years old or more
(Slide) Daniel believed in a sovereign God
(Slide) He had a disciplined prayer life
(Slide) He studied God’s word
(Slide) He had understanding of spiritual warfare
(Slide) He sought to glorify God
(Slide) He knew he had work to do for the kingdom
(Slide) He was tactful and considerate
(Slide) He lived up to his name Daniel “God is my judge”
(Slide) What kind of people are we going to be today?
Are we going to be kingdom people, living for the kingdom today with the hope and promise of the heavenly kingdom in the future?
So as we go our way to the end, rest assured if you are in Christ Jesus of your heavenly home and live now.
(Slide) Be a Daniel
Be resolved to be different now, live different now and serve God being a light to others.
