A Glorious Reign Ahead

Sunday 's Lesson : The Book of Daniel,Chapter 7:9-15

In Chapter 7. Daniel's Visions. Apocalyptic vision means a
prophetic of devastation or ultimate doom. At various points in Jewish history serval books fall into this category Ezekiel,Daniel,Zechariah,and Revelation. These books deals with graphic,symbols, animals, and there are different Interpretations don't let that cause you to miss the message Aman.


After haven't said that. At this time in our text Jerusalem had been siege Jeremiah was the prophet for Judah (the Southern Kingdom) He confronted the Leaders and the people of their sins. He also prophesied their 70 year siege in Babylon because of their sins.


This is the same Daniel in chapter 2 Daniel encounter with King Nebuchadnezzar dream.

Belshazzar rules Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar and Chapter 5 tells of his encounter with Daniel,was different he hade a party and drunk wine from the Temple Vessels and a Hand began to write on the wall Daniel read The writing on the wall He is in Babylon remember



Remember this is a Prophecy what Daniel. Is during looking into time before time exist and telling what God has shown. The Jews was in a strange land they were captive and it seems that God had left them
There were idols gods in Babylon. They were helpless they thought.
But God always have some prophet are some Preacher to give a word of encouragement Daniel ,

gave these Jews confidence that God is in control of history. They were to wait patiently in faith and not worship the gods of Babylon or accept there society's way of life. Evil will be overcome . This tells us we should wait patiently and not give in to the temptation and sinful ways of life around us. What we as Christians must always remember God is still and all will be in control.

When we get to our text Daniel 7:9 a shift has taken place the prophecy is about the end times judgment and is really what John saw

Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

What is Daniel talking about the Thrones of God and describe Him sitting on it







Verse 10
Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Notice books plural.

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.




Daniel and John saw God judging millions of people as they stood before him
We all will stand before God and give account of our lives. The question we all should ask. If our life was judge by God today, what would he say about it? How would he measure it against his Word? I we
The Word He is talking is this Bible John 1 Gospel writer tells it was the word . the beginning was the Word . That is why you need the Word if you are going any place there must be a beginning All should keep that in mind.

Dan 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Dan 7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Verse 13-14Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Daniel is Jesus is going to be the King of Kings and it will be everlasting .
What is Daniel saying to you? What ever you are going through The-pains ,the lies, what ever Sateen has sent your way. Be patient ,hold on keep trusting God It's going to be a new day
