The first 6 chapters of the book of Daniel have often been described as history. They give the historical and chronological account of Daniel and the lion’s den; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace; the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar over the nation of Babylon, and so on.  But when we come to chapter 7, there is a shift.  From this point on, what we find is a focus on prophecy or The Road Ahead.  Chapter 2 gave us a little hint of the future with the vision of the multi-metal statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, but the rest of the book fleshes it out even more.
The prophecy we find in Daniel is significant.  As we’ll see, it covers the period of time that immediately followed when Daniel was writing for the next several hundred years. From our vantage point, that is now history and we can take a look and see how accurate that prophecy was. But Daniel also takes a look WAY down the road to events that are still future to us…all the way to when Jesus will return again.
We invite you to listen in as Pastor Jeff continues our series, Daniel, preaching through Daniel chapters 7-9 today.
