Daniel 11 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Daniel 11.

Meditate on verses 32b-33a.

 

The people who know their God will display

 strength and take action.  Those who have

 insight among the people will give

understanding to the many.

 

When God gave Daniel the visions in Daniel 7-12, the world was ruled by Persia.  Soon Greece would conquer the world followed by the Roman empire.  The first part of this chapter prophesies the fall of the Persian empire followed by the rise of the Greek empire.  Starting with verse 36, the focus shifts to end time events.  The king who magnifies himself and speaks monstrous things against God is the Little Horn in Daniel 7:8, the insolent king in Daniel 8:23, the man of lawlessness and the son of destruction in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, the antichrist in 1 John 2:18, and the beast in Revelation 13.  Be aware of his tactics so you are not deceived and turned to godlessness (v. 32).

 

Be encouraged as you see God’s Word being fulfilled before your eyes.  As you read and study the Bible, “give understanding to the many” (v. 33). 

 

Pray Daniel 11:32-33 and 35 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, do not let __________ and me be deceived by

smooth words and turned to godlessness. 

Let us never act wickedly toward Your covenant.

 Make us people who know You, God.

 Let us display strength and take action. 

Give us insight among the people so we can give

 understanding to the many.  LORD, when we fall, use

 it to refine, purge, and make us pure until the end time

 because it is still to come at the appointed time.

In Your name, Jesus~”
