Daniel 9-Part 4

LET IT GLOW

We can't say too much about the love of God, can we? It can't be contained nor does it run out. We all need love and hope. Daniel found it by praying to the only One God. Read on to see what happened.

Daniel wanted to make sense of his circumstances. So he prayed. God dispatched the angel Gabriel before Daniel had finished his prayer. God loved Daniel greatly. Daniel's love for God had been put to the test. Now God was quick to respond in love to him when Daniel was in need.

God wants to answer the prayers of those whose hearts are completely His. (2 Chronicles 16:9) When we want to know the truth of our circumstances, go to God. The media, public opinion, nor political leaders can not explain anything to us. In His time, God will speak to us, since we are greatly beloved (precious) of Him. His answer will come in God's time, whether immediately as in Daniel's case, or it may be delayed, but it will come. (Daniel 10:13) God is on His throne and still reigns over all the earth. If you are genuinely seeking God's answers, you can go to your Father confidently with your questions. He will respond to you in love. (Luke 11:5-13)

LET IT GROW

Gabriel explained the six things dealing with sin and righteousness would be accomplished during 490 years.

1. To finish the transgression reference to rebellion against God;
2. To make an end of sins could refer to sin being put away during the Messiah's reign;
3. To make reconciliation for iniquity speaks of an atonement for sin on the basis of some sacrifice-Christ's death on the cross.
4. To bring in everlasting righteousness when Christ returns a second time after the Tribulation Period.
5. To seal up the vision and prophecy they will be fulfilled or consummated so no longer needed.
6. To anoint the Most Holy, which is Christ Himself. (verse 24)

The first three were fulfilled in principle at the First Coming of Christ Jesus. The last three will be completed at His Second Advent.

Beloved, have you believed in Jesus as your Savior? He is the Lamb of God that takes away sin. Simply ask Him to forgive your sins. His grace and mercy can reach down to the worst of sinners. Such love!

 

LET IT GO

and I will adore You Jesus.
