Bible Reading Commitment, Encouragement, and Challenge
September 17 – Daniel 7-9
Observe with some (Interpretation in Parentheses)
- In these chapters, we have some pretty crazy visions
- And there is a strong temptation often to try to read into every little detail, trying to allegorize or come up with some special meaning to every detail that God did not intend
- But Praise God that every time God gives a vision in His prophets, God always gives His WORD to interpret the vision so that we know God’s meaning for the vision He gives
- And praise God that in the midst of all the crazy and sometimes confusing visions, it is clear that the Ancient of Days is on His throne, ruling over everything!
- (God is Sovereign and in control!)
How Points to Christ
- Jesus Christ is the reigning King in control over everything
- And Jesus Christ will come again and destroy every kingdom opposing God, to set up His eternal and everlasting Kingdom
Apply
- Please pray that I would not seek to arrogantly elevate myself over God and try to give God’s visions interpretations that He never intended
- Please pray that I would humbly submit to all of God’s Word as He intends
- And please pray that in the midst of this confusing world, that I would keep looking up and put my hope in the Ancient of Days who reigns and is in good control over everything
