Good Morning “Living Sacrifices.”  Today we begin Hosea with chapter 1.Review:  The book of Daniel took place during Judahs Exile in Babylon - about the time of Ezekiel.  Through the last couple books we’ve been mostly focusing on the southern tribes of Israel referred to as Judah.  As we look at Hosea, understand we are stepping back in time now to 8th Century BC.  Hosea is one of Gods Prophet to...  Read More

Good Morning “Choosers”.  Today we wrap up Daniel with chapter 12.Chapter 12 is a cliff note summary of our end times timeline - it’s meant to be encouraging because Daniel believes they / we will choose wisely.  Daniel gets right down to it here.  He hits the high points and truly answers the question looming in the minds of his people… - Where do I fit into “End Times Prophecy?”  Perhaps we carr...  Read More

Good Morning “Accepters of Prophecy.”  Today we are in Daniel 11.Opponents of Scripture have a real struggle when it comes to prophecy.  What are we to do with The Bible when we see all of these very detailed prophecies coming to pass? What are we to do with future, “end times” prophecy when it’s scary?  Attempt to discredit It.  Some attempt to “late-date” prophecy.  Without a leg to stand on the...  Read More

Good Morning “Spiritual Warriors.”  Today we are in Daniel 10.Let’s start with a little background regarding angels.  Although we are not given an exact number of angels,  we know from Scripture God created thousands upon thousands.  There are only 3 “angels” mentioned, or named in Scripture.  Lucifer/Satan, Micheal and Gabriel.  Obviously if they are mentioned by name, they must fill a pretty sig...  Read More

Good Morning “Faithful”.  Today we are in Daniel 9.  We’ve well established Daniel was a man of incredible faith.  As we read of all that Daniel has gone through, have you wondered how and where he got such faith?  Surrounded by the sin and debauchery of Judah, how did some, like Daniel and his friends remain steadfast in their faith?  In a world so dark, how does one remain in The Light?  This ch...  Read More

Good Morning “Ready”.  Today we are in Daniel 8.  I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.”‭‭Daniel‬ ‭8‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬  Imagine being Daniel and receiving both near term prophecy and future end time prophecy within the same vision.We are fortunate in that we can look back at recorded history and see the short term prophecy already fulfilled.  History taught us of Media Persia, the ...  Read More

Good Morning “Future Hopefuls.”  Today we are in Daniel 7.We may not totally know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future. And God has shown us a glimpse of the future He holds.We last left Daniel under the care of King Darius the Mede, around 539 BC. As chapter 7 opens we take a step back.  Daniel is under the authority of the degenerate King Belshazzar, about 11 years earlier.Dan...  Read More

Good Morning “Criminals.”  Today we are in Daniel 6.Daniel and the lions den is one of, if not THE most well known children’s story.  Let me remind you and make it clear… this is NOT just a children’s story.  Considering all that Daniel has been through, his steadfast  obedience and faith is mind blowing - and ought to be inspiring.Despite Daniel’s faithfulness to God, and even to his work within ...  Read More

Good Morning “Humble and Totally Submitted.”  Today we are in Daniel 5.  Nebuchadnezzar’s son, Belshazzar, is king.  He appears to have followed in his father’s early life footsteps.  He is harsh, prideful, self serving, and dishonoring of the One True God who holds each ruler in His hand.  He appears to have forgotten his father’s story of judgment, humbling, repentance and restoration (vs 18-21)...  Read More

Good Morning “Fireproof”.  Today we are in Daniel 3.This chapter gives us the story of Nebuchadnezzar’s 12 story gold image, the fiery furnace, and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.The king so wanted everyone to worship the image he created that he issued a decree… when the alarm sounds “Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.” Daniel‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Honor, and Seek Honor for The Lord.”  Today we are in Daniel 2.Daniel’s faith is indeed extraordinary!  With the circumstances Daniel and the other exiles experienced as they were driven to Babylon, one might expect Daniel’s faith to be weak at this point.  No way!  Daniel no doubt understood the compromised faith of Judah landed them there in the first place.  Not so with ...  Read More
