Daniel 11 Part One
Let’s stop here and remind ourselves that all of this was completely new to the prophet Daniel because all of it was in Daniel’s near future, compared to the latter half of Daniel 11, which speaks of events that will occur at the end of this age. All of this proves that God and only God knows the future because He determines it. He doesn’t have to go against people’s free will to get His will done. All He needs to do is find someone who is predisposed to go in a certain direction and use that person to accomplish what He will accomplish.
Daniel 6: Daniel Faces Lions
Daniel’s colleagues had to see him “violating” the statute before they could report it to the king. The fact that Daniel prayed with his window open signified his prayers were unhindered. Those against Daniel knew he would not alter his behavior and would be “guilty” of disobedience to Darius. Consider the testimony of Daniel to these pagans, yet their hostility toward Daniel kept them blind to spiritual truth. We can expect the world to react to us like this if we are living faithfully before God.
Daniel Chapter 11, Part 1
Before I get into that chapter, I’d like to point out something. There are several schools of thought related to the entirety of the book of Daniel, including chapter eleven. As with everything else biblical, critics have come out of the woodwork to either downplay, attempt to negate, or even change the way they want us to look at this eleventh chapter of Daniel. In a broad brush stroke, some of the “concerns” these so-called higher critics have is applied to the entire book of Daniel, not just specific chapters, like chapter eleven.
