Daniel 10 - 12



Daniel 10

Daniel's Vision of a Man



1 (Da 1:7; 1:21) In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message

was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar,

and the message was true and one of great conflict.

And he understood the message and had understanding of the vision.

2 (Ezr 9:4-5; Ne 1:4) In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks.

3 (Da 6:18; Mt 6:17) I ate no tasty food, no meat or wine entered my mouth,

nor did I anoint myself at all until three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4 (Ge 2:14; Eze 1:3) On the 24th day of the first month, as I was by the side

of the great river which is Tigris,

5 (Jer 10:9; Eze 9:2) I lifted up my eyes and looked and saw a certain man

clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with the fine gold of Uphaz.

6 (Rev 19:12; Eze 1:14) His body also was like beryl, and his face had

the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like lamps of fire,

and his arms and his feet were like the gleam of polished bronze,

and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.

7 (Ac 9:7; Eze 12:18 ) I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men

who were with me did not see the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them,

so that they fled to hide themselves.

8 (Da 7:28; 8:27) Therefore I was left alone and saw this great vision,

and there remained no strength in me, and my countenance grew deathly pale,

and I retained no strength.

9 (Da 8:18; Ge 15:12) Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard

the sound of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face with my face

toward the ground.



Prophecies of Persia and Greece



10 (Jer 1:9; Da 8:18) But then a hand touched me, which set me on my knees

and on the palms of my hands.

11 (Eze 2:1; Da 8:16-17) He said to me, "O Daniel, a man greatly beloved,

understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have

been sent to you now." And when he had spoken this word to me,

I stood trembling.

12 (Ac 10:30-31; Da 9:20-23) Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel.

For from the first day that you set your heart to understand this

and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard,

and I have come because of your words.

13 (Da 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev 12:7) But the prince of the kingdom of Persia

withstood me for 21 days. So Michael, one of the chief princes,

came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

14 (Da 2:28; 8:26) Now I have come to make you understand what shall befall

your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for many days."

15 (Eze 24:27; Lk 1:20) When he had spoken such words to me, I set my face

toward the ground, and I became mute.

16 (Isa 6:7; Da 8:15) Then one in the likeness of the sons of men

touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him

who stood before me, "O my lord, because of the vision, sorrows have

come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

17 (Ex 24:10-11; Isa 6:1-5) How can the servant of my lord talk

with you, my lord? And as for me, there remains no strength in me now,

nor is there any breath left in me."

18 (Da 10:16; Isa 35:3-4) Then again, the one having the appearance of a man

came and touched me, and he strengthened me.

19 (Jos 1:9; Jdg 6:23) He said, "O man, greatly beloved, do not fear.

Peace be unto you. Be strong and courageous!"

When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak,

for you have strengthened me."

20 (Da 8:21; 10:13) Then he said, "Do you understand why I have come to you?

But now I shall return to fight against the prince of Persia,

and when I have gone forth, then truly the prince of Greece will come.

21 (Da 10:13; 12:1; Jude 1:9) But I will show you what is inscribed

in the Scripture of Truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly

with me against these forces, except Michael your prince.



Daniel 11



The Kings of the South and the North



1 (Da 5:31; 9:1) "Also, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I, even I,

stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

2 (Da 8:26; 10:1) "And now I will tell you the truth. Truly, there shall stand

up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all

of them; and by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up

all against the realm of Greece.

3 (Da 8:21; 11:16) A mighty king shall stand up who shall rule

with great dominion and do according to his will.

4 (Da 8:8; 8:22) When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken

and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his

posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled.

For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides them.

5 (Da 11:11; 11:14) "The king of the South shall be strong, as well

as one of his officials who shall be strong above him and have dominion.

His dominion shall be a great dominion.

6 (Da 11:13; 11:7) In the end of some years they shall join themselves

together. For the king's daughter of the South shall come to the king

of the North to make an agreement. But she shall not retain her position

of power, and neither he nor his power shall stand. But she shall be given up

with those who brought her and with him who fathered her and with him who

strengthened her in those times.

7 "But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his place,

who shall come with an army and shall enter the fortress of the king

of the North and shall deal against them and shall prevail.

8 (Isa 37:19; 46:1-2) And he shall also carry captive into Egypt their gods,

with their officials, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold.

And he shall continue more years than the king of the North,

9 who will enter the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return

to his own land.

10 (Jer 46:7-8; 51:42) His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude

of armed forces. One shall advance like a flood and pass through, and again

shall wage the war as far as his fortress.

11 (Da 8:7; 11:5) "The king of the South shall be moved with rage,

and shall go out and fight with him, with the king of the North,

who shall raise a great multitude; but that multitude shall be given

into his enemy's hand.

12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up;

and he shall cast down many ten thousands, but he shall not be strengthened

by it.

13 (Da 4:16; 12:7) For the king of the North shall return and shall raise

a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain

years with a great army and with much equipment.

14 "In those times many shall stand up against the king of the South.

Also the ­robbers of your people shall exalt themselves to fulfill the vision,

but they shall fall.

15 (Jer 6:6; Eze 4:2) Then the king of the North shall come

and set up a siege mound and capture a fortified city.

And the forces of the South shall not withstand him; neither shall his chosen

best troops have strength to resist.

16 (Da 8:9; 11:3) But he who comes against him shall do according to his own

will, and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the Pleasant

Land, which shall be consumed by his hand.

17 (2Ki 12:17; Eze 4:3) He shall also set his face to enter with the strength

of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he shall

put into effect. And he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt it.

But she shall not stand on his side or be for him.

18 (Hos 12:14; Jer 2:10) After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands

and shall capture many. But a commander shall put a stop to his reproach

against him, and he shall repay him for his reproach.

19 (Ps 37:36; Eze 26:21) Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses

of his own land, but shall stumble and fall and not be found any more.

20 (Isa 60:17) "Then one shall stand up in his place who shall send

an oppressor in the glory of his kingdom. But within a few days he shall

be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle.

21 (Da 8:25; 11:34) "In his place a vile person shall stand up,

to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom. But he shall come

in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 (Da 11:10; 8:10-11) A flood of armies shall be swept away before him

and be broken, and the prince of the covenant as well.

23 (Da 8:25) After the league is made with him, he shall work deceitfully,

and he shall come up and shall become strong with a small force of people.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the richest places of the realm.

And he shall do that which his fathers have not done,

nor his fathers' fathers. He shall distribute among them the plunder

and spoil and riches. And he shall plan his devices against the strongholds,

but only for a time.

25 "He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South

with a great army. And the king of the South shall be stirred up to battle

with a very great and mighty army. But he shall not stand, for schemes

shall be devised against him.

26 (Da 11:10) Indeed, those who eat his choice food shall destroy him,

and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.

27 (Ps 12:2; 64:6) As for both of these kings, their hearts shall plan

on mischief, and they shall speak lies to one another at one table.

But it shall not prosper, for the end shall yet be at the appointed time.

28 While turning back to his land with great wealth, his heart shall be

against the holy covenant. He shall wage war and turn back to his own land.



Blasphemies of the Northern King



29 "At the appointed time he shall return and come into the south,

but this latter time shall not be as the former.

30 (Ge 10:4; Nu 24:24) For the ships of Kittim shall come against him.

Therefore he shall be grieved and return and have indignation against

the holy covenant and take action. He shall even return and show regard

to those who forsake the holy covenant.

31 (Da 12:11; 9:27; Mt 24:15) "His armies shall rise up and desecrate

the sanctuary fortress. They shall abolish the daily sacrifice

and set up the abomination that makes desolate.

32 (Mic 5:7-9; Zec 9:13-16) By flatteries he will corrupt those who act

wickedly toward the covenant. But the people who know their God will

be strong and take action.

33 (Mal 2:7; Mt 24:9) "The wise among the people shall instruct many.

Yet for many days they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity

and by destruction.

34 (Mt 7:15; Ro 16:18) Now when they fall, they shall be given a little help.

But many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35 (Zec 13:9; Dt 8:16) Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be purged,

purified, and made white,until the time of the end,

for it is still for the appointed time.

36 (Dt 10:17; 2Th 2:4) "The king shall do according to his will. And he shall

exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak

blasphemous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper

until the indignation is accomplished. For that which is determined

shall be done.

37 He shall regard neither the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women,

nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all.

38 But instead he shall honor the god of forces, a god whom his fathers

did not know. He shall honor him with gold and silver,

and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus he shall do in the strongest of fortresses with a foreign god.

He shall give great honor to those who acknowledge him,

and shall cause them to rule over the many and shall divide the land for gain.



Conquests of the Northern King



40 (Isa 5:28; Da 11:10) "At the time of the end the king of the South shall

push at him. But the king of the North shall come against him like

a whirlwind, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships.

And he shall enter the countries and shall overflow them and pass over.

41 (Jer 48:47; 49:6) He shall enter also the Pleasant Land,

and many countries shall be overthrown. But these shall escape

out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

42 Then he shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land

of Egypt shall not escape.

43 (2Ch 12:3; Na 3:9) But he shall have power over the hidden treasures

of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt.

And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

44 But reports from the east and from the north shall trouble him.

Therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.

45 He shall pitch the tabernacles of his palace between the seas

in the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end,

and no one shall help him.



Daniel 12



The Prophecy of the End Times



1 (Jer 30:7; Da 10:13; Mt 24:21) "And at that time Michael

shall stand up, the great prince who stands guard over the sons

of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble such

as never was since there was a nation even to that time.

And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be

found written in the book.

2 (Isa 26:19; Mt 25:46) Many of those who sleep in the dust

of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame

and everlasting contempt.

3 (Da 11:33; Mt 13:43; Da 11:35) Those who are wise shall shine

as the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who turn the many

to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

4 (Da 12:9; Rev 22:10; Da 8:17) But you, Daniel, shut up the words

and seal the book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro,

and knowledge shall increase."

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others,

the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side

of the bank of the river.

6 (Eze 9:2; Da 8:13) One said to the man clothed in linen, who was

above the water of the river,

"How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?"

7 (Da 7:25; 8:24; Rev 12:14) And I heard the man clothed in linen,

who was over the water of the river, when he held up his right hand

and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever

that it would be for a time, times, and half a time.

[Or a year, two years, and half a year.]

And when they finish shattering the power of the holy people,

all these things shall be finished.

8 As for me, I heard, but I could not understand. So I said,

"My lord, what shall be the result of these things?"

9 (Da 12:4) And he said, "Go your way, Daniel. For these words are closed up

and sealed until the time of the end.

10 (Da 11:35; Rev 22:11; Hos 14:9) Many shall be purified and made white

and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall

understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 (Da 11:31; 9:27; Mt 24:15) "From the time that the daily sacrifice

shall be taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up,

there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335 days.

13 (Rev 14:13) "But as for you, go your way until the end.

Then you shall rest and rise again for your lot at the end of the age."

Entitled God's Molded Instruments



Isaiah 64:5–9



5 (Ex 20:24) You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,

those who remember You in Your ways.

Indeed, You were angry, for we had sinned;

in our sins we remained a long time,

and shall we be saved?

6 (Ps 90:5-6; Isa 6:5) But we all are as an unclean thing,

and all our righteousness is as filthy rags;

and we all fade as a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

7 (Eze 22:30; Hos 7:7) There is no one who calls on Your name,

who stirs up himself to take hold of You;

for You have hidden Your face from us

and have consumed us because of our iniquities.

8 (Isa 63:16; 29:16) But now, O Lord, You are our Father;

we are the clay, and You are our potter;

and we all are the work of Your hand.

9 (Ps 74:1-2; 79:13) Do not be wrathful beyond measure, O Lord,

nor remember iniquity forever;

look upon us, we pray,

we all are Your people.



Considered one of the greatest video games ever made, Nintendo's

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has sold more than seven million

copies worldwide. It's also popularized the ocarina, a tiny, ancient,

potato-shaped musical instrument made of clay.



The ocarina doesn't look like much of a musical instrument.

However, when it's played-by blowing into its mouthpiece

and covering various holes around its misshapen body-it produces

a strikingly serene and hauntingly hopeful sound.



The ocarina's maker took a lump of clay, applied pressure and heat to it,

and transformed it into an amazing musical instrument. I see a picture of God

and us here. Isaiah 64:6, 8-9 tells us: "All of us have become like one who is unclean. . . . Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are

the potter. . . . Do not be angry beyond measure." The prophet was saying:

God, You're in charge. We're all sinful. Shape us into beautiful instruments

for You.



That's exactly what God does! In His mercy, He sent His Son, Jesus, to die

for our sin, and now He's shaping and transforming us as we walk in step

with His Spirit every day. Just as the ocarina maker's breath flows through

the instrument to produce beautiful music, God works through us-

His molded instruments-to accomplish His beautiful will: to be more

and more like Jesus (Romans 8:29).



By: Ruth Wan



Reflect & Pray



How can knowing that you're a recipient of God's mercy affect what you

think, say, and do today? How can you submit yourself to His transformation?



Father, thank You for saving me and transforming

me so that I'll become more like Your Son, Jesus.

Teach me to submit to Your Spirit's work of transforming me.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 4 - Send for Help !



James 1:5



5 (Pr 2:3–6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom,

let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally

and without criticism, and it will be given to him.



A new employee in an electronics plant had the responsibility

for overseeing one machine. The machine worked fine when the young man

came on duty, but soon it began to run a bit rough. The employee

tinkered with the machine, trying to "fix" it, until finally if stopped

working altogether

In fear and trembling the worker sent for the foreman, and stammered,

"I - I, well, sir, I did my best to fix it."

"Son", the foreman thundered, "you need to know only one thing. Around

here, doing you best means sending for me!"

Wisdom, James 1:5 says, has its source in God alone. And if we are

to attain wisdom, we need to learn doing our best means sending for God.

Often we spend time tinkering with our lives or the the lives of others.

We don't think to as God for his wisdom i nthe decisions we must take;

instead, we use our human reasoning and take our best guess.

But the path to wisdom does not lie in guesswork. The scriptures

give us clear indication of God's direction for his people, and through Bible

study, application, prayer, and meditation,

we can understand what God wants to reveal to us.

"If any of you lacks wisdom," James says, "he should ask God, who gives

generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

The first step to attaining wisdom is recognising that we are not wise.

The second step is to ask. And God, who is faithful to his Word

and His people, will respond.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I tinkered with my life,

making it worse rather then fixing it?



b) What practical steps can I take to ask God for wisdom?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Chr 31:21



21 And in every deed that he undertook in the service of the house

of God and with the law and commandment to seek out his God,

he did this with all his heart, and he found success.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



God's Protection in Times of Trouble



Ps 27:1-6



PSALMS 27



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

of whom will I be afraid?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me

to eat my flesh—

my enemies and my foes—

they stumbled and fell.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,

that will I seek after—

for me to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble

He will hide me in His pavilion;

in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;

He will set me up on a rock.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9) Now my head will be lifted up

above my enemies encircling me;

therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Nova Scotia



Total population 942700

Muslim population (est.) 14629



With 6 of the Nova Scotia's 10 universities located in Halifax, there is

a high concentration of Muslin international students in the area,

a harvest field in itself.

Pray for Nova Scotia and her Muslim populations



- in and around Halifax and other cities



- on university campuses



- for new workers among Muslims



- for pastors and churches to be bold in vision, passion and outreach

to Muslims in their areas.



- for Muslims who are searching for a better way to find a Christian friend

to share Jesus with and disciple them



- for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their

new faith in Jesus with other Muslims



Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia

with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas

(prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques

in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truto.



Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of

newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration

has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic

is the second most spoken language in Halifax.



while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000

in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population

somewhere between 25000 to 30000.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

Daniel 7 - 9



Daniel 7

Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts



1 (Da 4:5; 5:1) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon,

Daniel had a dream and visions of his mind while on his bed.

Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.

2 (Rev 7:1) Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night

the four winds of the heaven striving upon the Mediterranean Sea.

3 (Rev 13:1; Da 7:17) Four great beasts came up from the sea,

diverse from one another.

4 (Jer 4:7; Eze 17:3) The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings.

I watched until its wings were plucked and it was lifted up from the earth

and made to stand on the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

5 (Da 2:39) Another beast appeared, a second, like a bear, and it raised

itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth.

And they said to it, "Arise, devour much flesh."

6 (Rev 13:2) After this I looked and there was another, like a leopard,

which had on its back four wings of a fowl. The beast also had four heads.

And dominion was given to it.

7 (Rev 12:3; 13:1) After this I saw in the visions at night a fourth beast,

dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong. And it had great iron teeth.

It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet.

And it was different from all the beasts that were before it,

and it had ten horns.

8 (Rev 13:5-6; Ps 12:3) I considered the horns, when there came up among

them another little horn before whom three of the first horns were plucked

up by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of man,

and a mouth speaking great things.



The Ancient of Days Reigns



9 (Rev 1:14; Ps 90:2) I watched until

the thrones were cast down

and the Ancient of Days was seated,

whose garment was white as snow,

and the hair of His head like the pure wool.

His throne was like the fiery flame,

and its wheels as burning fire.

10 (Rev 5:11; Dt 33:2) A fiery stream issued

and came out from before Him.

A thousand thousands ministered to Him;

and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.

The judgment was set,

and the books were opened.

11 (Rev 19:20; 20:10) Then I watched because of the sound of the boastful

words which the horn was speaking. I watched even until the beast was slain,

and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame.

12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away;

yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

13 (Mt 26:64; Rev 1:7) I saw in the night visions, and there was one like

a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days

and was presented before Him.

14 (Da 7:27; Rev 11:15) There was given to Him dominion, and glory,

and a kingdom, that all peoples, 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.



The Interpretation of the Dream



15 (Da 7:28) I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body,

and the visions of my head troubled me.

16 (Rev 5:5; 7:13-14) I approached one of those who were standing by

and asked him the truth of all this.

So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things.

17 "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings which shall arise

out of the earth.

18 (Rev 20:4; Isa 60:12-14) But the saints of the Most High shall take

the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever."

19 (Da 7:7) Then I desired to know the truth of the fourth beast,

which was different from all the others, exceeding dreadful,

whose teeth were of iron and its nails of bronze, and which devoured,

broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;

20 (Da 7:8) and of the ten horns that were in its head, and of the other

which came up, and before whom three fell, even of that horn that had eyes

and a mouth that spoke boastful words, whose look was more stout

than its fellows.

21 (Da 8:24; 12:7) I beheld, and the same horn was warring with the saints

and prevailing against them

22 (Da 7:18; 1Co 6:2-3) until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment

was passed in favor of the saints of the Most High,

and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.

23 (Da 2:40) Thus he said: "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom

upon earth, which shall be different from all kingdoms, and shall devour

the whole earth and shall tread it down and break it in pieces.

24 (Da 7:20; Rev 13:1) The ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings

that shall arise; and another shall rise after them, and he shall be

different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25 (Da 12:7; 2:21; Rev 12:14) He shall speak words against the Most High

and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and plan to change times

and law. And they shall be given into his hand until a time

and times and half a time. Or for a year, two years, and half a year.

26 "But the court shall sit for judgment, and they shall take away

his dominion, to consume and to destroy it forever.

27 (Da 2:44; Ps 22:27; 72:11) Then the kingdom and dominion,

and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven,

shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High,

whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."

28 (Lk 2:19; 2:51) At this point the matter ended. As for me, Daniel,

my thoughts troubled me much, and my countenance changed in me;

but I kept the matter in my heart.



[The 4th beast propechy has yet to be fulfilled]



Daniel 8



Daniel's Vision of a Ram and a Goat



1 (Da 7:1) In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision

appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me

at the first.

2 (Ge 10:22; Ne 1:1) I saw in the vision, and while I was looking,

I was at Susa in the palace which is in the province of Elam.

And I saw in the vision that I was by the canal of Ulai.

3 (Da 8:20; 10:5) Then I lifted up my eyes and looked,

and there stood before the river a ram which had two horns,

and the two horns were high. But one was higher than the other,

and the higher one came up last.

4 (Da 11:16; 8:7) I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward,

so that no animal might stand before him; nor was there any that could

deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will and became great.

5 (Da 8:21; 8:8; 11:3) As I was considering this, suddenly a male goat came

from the west across the face of the whole earth and did not touch the ground.

And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

6 He came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing

before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.

7 (Da 7:7; 11:11) I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved

with rage against him, and struck the ram and broke his two horns.

And there was no power in the ram to stand before him,

but he cast him down to the ground and stamped on him.

And there was none who could deliver the ram out of his hand.

8 (Da 7:2; 2Ch 26:16) Therefore the male goat grew very great.

And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and four conspicuous horns

came up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.



The Little Horn



9 (Da 11:16; Ps 48:2) Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew

exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east,

and toward the Pleasant Land.

10 (Isa 14:13; Rev 12:4) It grew great, even to the host of heaven.

And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground

and stamped upon them.

11 (Da 11:31; 12:11) Indeed, he magnified himself even to the Prince

of the host, and from Him the daily sacrifice was taken away,

and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

12 (Isa 59:14; Da 11:28) Because of rebellion, an army was given

to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifice; and it cast truth to the ground.

It practiced this and prospered.

13 (Da 4:13; Lk 21:24) Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint

said to that certain saint which spoke, "How long shall be the vision

concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation,

the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"

14 (Da 8:26; 12:11) And he said to me, "For 2300 evenings and mornings.

Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed properly."



Gabriel Interprets the Vision



15 (Da 10:16; 10:18) When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought

for the meaning. Then there before me stood one who had the appearance

of a man.

16 (Lk 1:19; 1:26) I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai,

which called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

17 (Da 8:19; Rev 1:17) So he came near where I stood. And when he came,

I was afraid and fell upon my face; but he said to me,

"Understand, son of man, that the vision deals with the time of the end."

18 (Da 10:18; Eze 2:2) Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep

with my face toward the ground. But he touched me and set me upright.

19 (Da 8:15-17; Hab 2:3) He said, "Listen, I will make you know what shall be

in the final period of the indignation, for the end shall be

at the appointed time.

20 (Da 8:3) The ram which you saw having two horns

represents the kings of Media and Persia.

21 (Da 10:20; 11:3) The rough goat is the king of Greece, and the great horn

that is between his eyes is the first king.

22 Now the broken horn and the four horns that stood up in its place

are four kingdoms that shall stand up out of his nation,

but not with his power.

23 "In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached

their limit, a king will arise, having a fierce countenance,

skilled in intrigue.

24 (Da 8:12; 7:25; Rev 17:17) His power shall be mighty,

but not by his own power. And he shall destroy wonderfully

and shall prosper and practice his will

and shall destroy the mighty men and the holy people.

25 (Da 8:11; Job 34:20) By his cunning, he shall cause deceit to succeed

under his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. He shall destroy

many in a time of peace. He shall also rise up against the Prince of princes;

but he shall be broken, not by human hands.

26 (Da 10:1; 10:14; 12:4) "And the vision of the evenings and the mornings,

which was told, is true. Therefore shut up the vision,

for it deals with many days in the future."

27 (Da 7:28; Hab 3:16) Then I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for some days.

Afterward I rose up again and did the king's business.

So I was astonished at the vision, but there was none to explain it.



Daniel 9



The Prayer of Daniel



1 (Da 11:1) In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus of the lineage

of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

2 (2Ch 36:21; Jer 29:10) in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed

in the books the number of the years which were specified by the word

of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishment of the desolations

of Jerusalem, that is, seventy years.

3 I set my face toward the Lord God to seek by prayer and supplications

with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

4 (Dt 7:9; Ne 9:32) And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made my confession,

and said,

"Alas, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping His covenant

and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commandments.

5 (Ps 106:6; Isa 64:5-7) We have sinned and have committed iniquity

and have done wickedly and have rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts

and from Your judgments.

6 (2Ch 36:15-16; Ezr 9:7) We have not listened to Your servants the prophets,

who spoke in Your name to our kings, our officials, and our fathers,

and to all the people of the land.

7 (Dt 4:27; Ps 44:15) "O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame

of face, as it is this day, to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants

of Jerusalem and to all Israel, who are near and who are far off,

through all the countries wherever You have driven them,

because of their trespass that they have trespassed against You.

8 O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, to our officials,

and to our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

9 (Ps 130:4; Jer 14:7) To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness,

though we have rebelled against Him.

10 (2Ki 18:12; Da 9:6) We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God,

to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.

11 (Isa 1:4-6; Jer 8:5-10) Indeed, all Israel has transgressed Your law,

even by departing that they might not obey Your voice.

"Therefore the curse has been poured upon us, and the oath that is written

in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

12 (Eze 5:9; Isa 44:26) He has confirmed His words, which He had spoken

against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us great

calamity. For under the whole heaven there has not been done such

as has been done to Jerusalem.

13 (Isa 9:13; Jer 2:30) As it is written in the Law of Moses, great calamity

has come on us. Yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God so that

we might turn from our iniquities and give attention to Your truth.

14 (Ne 9:33; Jer 44:27) Therefore, the Lord has kept the disaster in store

and brought it upon us. For the Lord our God is righteous in all His works

which He does, but we have not obeyed His voice.

15 (Ne 9:10; Ex 6:1) "Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people

out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name,

even to this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

16 (Zec 8:3; Ps 31:1O) Lord, according to all Your righteousness,

I beseech You, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city

Jerusalem, Your holy mountain, because for our sins and for the iniquities

of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all who

are around us.

17 (Ps 80:19; La 5:18) "Now therefore, O God, hear the prayer of Your servant

and his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine

upon Your sanctuary, which is desolate.

18 (Isa 37:17; Jer 25:29) O my God, incline Your ear and hear. Open Your eyes

and look at our desolations and the city which is called by Your name,

for we do not present our supplications before You for our righteousness,

but for Your great mercies.

19 (Jer 14:9; Da 9:18) O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act!

Do not defer, for Your own sake, O my God. For Your city and Your people

are called by Your name."



The Seventy Weeks



20 (Ps 145:18; Isa 58:9) While I was speaking and praying and confessing

my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication

before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God,

21 (Da 8:16; Lk 1:19) indeed, while I was speaking in prayer,

the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning,

being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time

of the evening oblation.

22 (Da 8:16; 10:21) He informed me and talked with me, and said,

"Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding.

23 (Da 10:11-12; 10:19) At the beginning of your supplications the command

went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved.

Therefore understand the matter and consider the vision:

24 (Eze 4:6; Nu 14:34) "Seventy weeks have been determined for your people

and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end

of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting

righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint

the Most Holy Place.

25 (Ezr 4:24; Isa 9:6) “Know therefore and understand that from the going

forth of the command to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem

until the Prince Messiah shall be seven weeks, and 62 weeks.

It shall be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of trouble.

26 (Isa 53:8; Na 1:8; Mt 24:2) After the 62 weeks Messiah shall be cut off

and shall have nothing. And the troops of the prince who shall come shall

destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall come with a flood.

And until the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14) And he shall make a firm covenant with many

for one week. But in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice

and the offering to cease. And on the wing of abominations shall come one

who makes desolate, until the decreed destruction is poured out

on the desolator."



2) Our Daily Bread for 14 September 2021

https://odb.org/CA/2021/09/14/outside-the-camp

Entitled Outside the Camp



Hebrews 13:11–16



11 (Ex 29:14; Lev 16:27) For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood

is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest on account of sin,

are burned outside the camp.

12 (Ac 7:58; Eph 5:26) Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify

the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

13 (Heb 11:26) Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp,

bearing the reproach that He bore.

14 (Heb 12:22; Mic 2:10) For here we have no continuing city,

but we seek one to come.

15 (Hos 14:2; Lev 7:12) Through Him, then, let us continually offer

to God the sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of our lips,

giving thanks to His name.

16 (Ro 12:13; Php 4:18) But do not forget to do good and to share.

For with such sacrifices God is well pleased.



Friday was market day in the rural town in Ghana where I grew up.

After all these years, I still recall one particular vendor.

Her fingers and toes eroded by Hansen's disease (leprosy),

she would crouch on her mat and scoop her produce with a hollowed-out gourd.

Some avoided her. My mother made it a point to buy from her regularly.

I saw her only on market days. Then she would disappear outside the town.



In the time of the ancient Israelites, diseases like leprosy meant living

"outside the camp." It was a forlorn existence. Israelite law said

of such people, "They must live alone" (Leviticus 13:46).

Outside the camp was also where the carcasses of the sacrificial bulls

were burned (4:12). Outside the camp was not where you wanted to be.



This harsh reality breathes life into the statement about Jesus

in Hebrews 13: "Let us, then, go to him outside the camp,

bearing the disgrace he bore" (v. 13). Jesus was crucified outside

the gates of Jerusalem, a significant point when we study

the Hebrew sacrificial system.



We want to be popular, to be honored, to live comfortable lives.

But God calls us to go "outside the camp"-where the disgrace is.

That's where we'll find the vendor with Hansen's disease.

That's where we'll find people the world has rejected.

That's where we'll find Jesus.



By: Tim Gustafson



Reflect & Pray



How do you initially react to outsiders and misfits?

In what practical way might you go to Jesus "outside the camp"?



Thank You, Jesus, that You don't show any favoritism.

Thank You for going outside the camp for me.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 3 - The Promise of Completion



Philippians 1:6



6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing,

that He who began a good work in you will perfect it

until the day of Jesus Christ.



"Elizabeth is a good student", the note on the side of the report card read,

"but she doesn't finish what she starts. She has a lot of good ideas, but

rarely brings then to completion."

Many of us are like Elizabeth. We start into a new venture with high hopes

and great motivation. Bit somewhere along the way, we become discouraged.

Someone tells us that our ideas are stpuide, or that we are not capable of

doing what we dream. We get a particulatly difficule hurdle and give up.

Sometimes we fell the Christian like is like that, too. We start well, and

believe that in Christ we can accomplish anything. But then our prayers

become rote, our Bible reading ritual. We can't seem to regain that sense

of God's presence; we have, we conclude, "Lost our first love."

But God has a different perspective. He began the work of salvation in us;

he leads and guides us in his will, and he will complete what he has begun.

Often we fail to see God's grace in hte ongoing proces of walking with him

because his agenda is different from ours. We know what we want to see

happen in our lives; God knows what needs to happen.

"When I fist came into a relationship with Christ," one woman explained,

"I knew I had a lot of changing to do. But, strangely enough, the things God

changed weren't on my list at all!"

When God begins his work in oue lives, he has a plan for our maturity.

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. And what God

has begun, he will finish.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "decide" for God what problems in my life

- for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their

new faith in Jesus with other Muslims



Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia

with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas

(prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques

in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truto.



Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of

newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration

has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic

is the second most spoken language in Halifax.



while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000

in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population

somewhere between 25000 to 30000.

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
