Shalom, my dear brothers and sisters and dear friends. We are going to begin today the study of the book of Daniel, presenting this amazing book as before the Lord. And we trust that as we study this book together, it will be a blessing to you all. This book of Daniel is an important book because it is a book that helps us to understand the plan of God for the people of Israel and for the whole world. In a sense, we see the people of Israel, the Jewish people, rising from defeat to victory as ultimately the book of Daniel takes us to the future day when Israel as a nation will be restored to the Lord their God.

Well, the book of Israel. Well, the book of Daniel is an amazing book. And I would like to begin by reading the first few verses of Daniel chapter one. So if you have your Bibles with you, please turn with me to Daniel chapter one. And we will begin with the introduction to the book of Daniel. Daniel. We read in Daniel one verse one in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his hand with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his God.

And he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his God. And I will stop here, beloved brothers and sisters and dear friend, with the first two verses of Daniel chapter one. And I would like just to begin with the introduction, which is very important to introduce this extremely important book called the book of Daniel. Daniel. Just to remind us that we read already here in the first verse, Daniel one in verse one. In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem and besieged it. We also read verse two, that the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his hand.

Now here, beloved brothers and sisters and dear friends, we ask ourselves immediately the question. Why is it that the God of Israel, the God of Judah, is now allowing a man by the name of Nebuchadnezzar, who was the king of Babylon, to come into the city of Jerusalem, where the temple once stood, where the worship of the Lord once was raised up to glory, to heaven. And why is it that the Lord himself gave Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon? This is a very important question that we may ask ourselves. And we have to realize that there is a reason, as to why the God of Israel, have brought king Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babel, to the city of Jerusalem, to take it over, and ultimately, to give into his hand, the king of Judah.

Well, there are twofold reasons, beloved friend, as to why God have allowed this to happen in the history of the Jewish people. Well, the first reason is because God is the one that has expected from his people, Israel, to be a people that obey him, a nation that is distinct from all other nations, a nation that worships the true and living God. And to remind you, when God gave the Torah, the law, to the people of Israel on Mount Sinai, on Har Sinai. He told Israel, if you remember, in Exodus chapter 20, when the law was given to the people of Israel. In fact, the first commandment that he gave our forefathers, the Jewish people, who came out of the land of Egypt, after being in bondage and away from the promised land since the day of Abraham for over 400 years.

Israel were delivered by the hand of God in a miraculous way out of the land of bondage. And Israel began their journey to go into the promised land. In chapter 20, as Moshe was on Mount Sinai, Har Sinai. And he received the ten commandments and all the laws that God had given instruction for his people Israel through Moses. We read about the first commandment that God had given to Moshe for the people of Israel is this. Exodus 20 and verse 1. And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Verse 3 said, Thou shalt have no other gods, this is small g, before me. So, God has desired that his people Israel will be different than all other nations because he is the true and living God, Jehovah. The God who keeps covenant with the nation of Israel. The one that has brought them out of bondage into liberty on the basis of the blood of the lamb, the lamb which typified the coming Messiah, who became the lamb of God, which will take upon himself the sin of this world. And Israel as a nation did not submit to the word of the Lord. And they have in disobedience, through disobedience, began to follow other gods.

In fact, we do read through the prophets, and as well in the days of the kings, that God was not happy with what Israel had done. If you remember in 2nd Kings chapter 21, we read, Menashe was 12 years old, verse 1, When he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Havtzeba. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. After the abomination of the heathen whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed. And he reared up altars for Baal.

And made a grove. As did Achav king of Israel. And worshiped all the hosts of heaven and served them. Can you imagine? Beloved friends, beloved brothers and sisters, Israel who called to believe in one God. Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And Israel as a nation began to follow after other gods. In fact, we read in the very same chapter, 2nd Kings chapter 21. It says in verse 4, He built altars in the house of the Lord. Of which the Lord said in Jerusalem will I put my name. Verse 5. And he built altars for all the hosts of heaven.

In the two courts of the house of the Lord. Verse 6. And he made his son pass through the fire. And he observed times. And used the enchantments. And he dealt with familiar spirit and wizard. He wrote much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. And you notice if you go to verse 10 of 2nd Kings chapter 21. And the Lord spake by his servants. The prophets say because Menasheh the king of Judah has done this abomination. And has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did which were before him. And has made Judah also to sin with his idols. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel.

Behold I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah. That whosoever heareth of it both his ears shall tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria. And the plummet of the house of Ahav. And I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipe dish. Wiping it and turning it upside down. And beloved friends. The first reason that God had to deal with the people of Israel. With his own people. In bringing upon the people of Israel. The king of Babel. Nebuchadnezzar. Is because Israel violated God's word. And worshipped other gods. And therefore the God who loved. His chosen people. The Hebrews. The Israeli.

The Jewish people. He disciplined them. Because judgment must begin at the house of God. The second fault reason. Is found for us also in the word of the Lord. It is simply because Israel. Did not allow the land. To rest on the sabbatical year. To rest on the sabbatical year. Already. Before Israel came into the promised land. The Lord already warned. Our people of Og. And he said in Leviticus chapter 26 verse 32. I will bring the land into desolation. And your enemies which dwell therein. Shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen. And I will draw out a sword after you.

And your land shall be desolate. And your cities waste. Then listen to these beloved brothers and sisters. Leviticus 26 verse 34. For then shall the land enjoy her Shabbat. As long as it lies desolate. And ye be in your enemies land. Even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Shabbats. As long as it lies desolate. As long as it lies desolate. It shall rest. Because it did not rest in your Shabbats. When ye dwelled upon it. Now you notice this beloved brothers and sisters. And dear friends. That when we read Leviticus chapter 26. It was a prophetic message to the people of Israel. And God knowing all things ahead of time.

Already mentioned this to his beloved people. Long before the events of their disobedience came to pass. Us in the land of Canaan. In the land of Israel. And so as we began the reading. In Daniel chapter 1. And verse 1. In the third year of the reign of your king. King of Judah. Came the Buchad-Netzir. King of Babylon. And to Jerusalem. And besieged it. And the Lord gave you a king. King of Judah. Into his hand. We see beloved brothers and sisters. That in the plan. And the program of God. He knew very well. What his own people will do. And that's really a lesson for us.

Who are believers in the Lord Jesus. The Messiah today. Who are part of the church. Of the assembly. God knows everything that will go on. In the history of his heavenly people. He knows everything. The past. The present. The future. He knows very well. The history of the behavior. Of the church during these days. In the same way. As he knew. The behavior of the people of Israel. In Israel's history. And yet God in his wisdom. Who is sovereign. Who is the God of providence. Who knows all things. Past. Present. Future. Who is all powerful. Who is everywhere. He knew. What will happen. To the people of Israel.

In fact. Later on. In Jeremiah. Chapter 25. Listen to the prophetic word. Of the prophet. Yirmiyahu. Jeremiah. In chapter 25. We read in chapter 25. In verse. Eight. Eight. Therefore. Thus says the Lord of hosts. Because ye have not heard my words. Behold. I will send. And take all the families. Of the north. Says the Lord. And Nebuchadnezzar. The king of Babylon. My servant. And will bring them. Against this land. And against the inhabitants. And against all these nations. Round about. And will utterly destroy them. And make them. An astonishment. And an hissing. And perpetual desolation. Speaking about the nations around Israel. And he continued now to speak.

Also. About the nation of Israel. Moreover. I will take from them. The voice of mirth. And the voice of gladness. The voice of the bridegroom. And the voice of the bride. The sound of the millstone. And the light of the candle. And this whole land. Shall be a desolation. And an astonishment. And this nation shall serve. The king of Babylon. Seventy years. And it shall come to pass. When seventy years. Are accomplished. That I will. Will punish. The king of Babylon. And that nation. Says the Lord. For their iniquity. And the land. Of the caledines. And will make. A perpetual desolation. Amazing. Verse 13. Said. And I will bring upon.

That land. All my words. And so beloved. Brothers and sisters. And dear friend. We learn. We learn. From the. Word of God. The reason. Whereby. The. People of Israel. Are now. Will be taken. To Babylon. King of Nebuchadnezzar. Will come. And. The Lord. Will give. Into his hand. Yehoiakim. The king. The king. Of Judah. And ultimately. There will be. The. Destruction. Of Jerusalem. And the temple. Now. Of course. As we. Begin. To read. The book. Of Daniel. We learn. Immediately. That the person. That wrote. This book. Is none. Else. But. In fact. In Daniel. Chapter. Seven. He. Himself. Notice. That we read. In Daniel. Chapter.

Seven. In the first. Year. Of Babylon. Daniel. Had a dream. And visions. Of his. Head. Upon his. Bed. Then. He. Wrote. The. Dream. And told. The sum. Of the matters. And you notice. What we read. In verse two. Daniel. Spake. And said. I. Saw. In my. Vision. By night. So. Daniel. Himself. Is the one. That. Speak. Of himself. Of. Daniel. In the same. Chapter. Seven. In verse. Fifteen. We also. Read. Once again. I. Daniel. Was. Grieved. Notice. That. A little bit. Later. In verse. The end. Of the matter. As for me. Daniel. My. And he began. To speak about. He's speaking. About himself. As the one.

That gave. Us. This book. Called. The book. Of. Daniel. In chapter. Seven. In chapter. Eight. In chapter. Chapter. We learn. That. Daniel. Is the author. Of the book. Of. Daniel. In chapter. Twelve. Of. Daniel. Verse. Five. We read. Then I. Daniel. Looked. And behold. There stood. Other. Two. And you. Read it. Once. And again. That. Daniel. Is the one. That wrote. This book. Introduction. In this. Ministry. Meeting. At this point. Of time. Daniel. Was a man. That has existed. In fact. He was the one. Of whom. Yechezkel. Spoke about. In his prophecy. Yechezkel. Spoke about him. In chapter. Fourteen. Mentioning. His name. And not only.

His name. Ezekiel. Mentioned. Others. Who are. Biblical. Characters. That are found. In the word of God. Chapter 14. Of the book. Of Ezekiel. We read. In verse 12. The word of the Lord. Came again. To me. Saying. Son of man. When the land. Sinneth against me. By trespassing. Grievously. Then. Will I stretch out. Mine hand. Upon it. And I will break. The stuff. Of the. Bread. Thereof. And will send. Famine. Upon it. And will cut off. Man. And beast. From it. And then. The Lord. Speaking. To Yechezkel. Concerning. Noach. Daniel. And Eov. Notice. Verse 14. Though. The three men. Noah. Daniel. And Job. Were in it. They should.

Deliver. But their own souls. By their righteousness. Sayeth. The Lord. God. God. In other words. These were. Godly men. As Noah. Of whom we read. In the earlier. Times. In the. Word of God. In the book of Genesis. About Eov. The book of Job. We read of the history. Of Job. And here. The Lord. Is mentioning. Daniel. In chapter 14. Of the book. Of Ezekiel. Mentioning this. To Ezekiel. A little bit. Further down. In Ezekiel. Chapter 14. And verse 20. The Lord. Continued. To speak. To Ezekiel. Saying. Though. Noah. Daniel. And Job. Were in it. Namely. In the land. As I live. Says. The Lord. God. They shall.

But deliver. Their own souls. By their righteousness. In other words. God. Look. At Daniel. And Job. As godly men. But even though. They were godly men. When the day of judgment. Came upon the land. Of Judah. The land of Israel. The land that God chose. For his own people. Israel. Even they could not. Deliver the land. From judgment. Even they. Live righteous life. In fact. Beloved. Brothers and sisters. And dear friend. The Lord. Yeshua. Jesus. The Messiah. Himself. When he was here. Upon the face. Of this earth. He himself. Mentioned. To the disciples. Who knew. Very well. Of these men. Both. Noah. And. Daniel. As well.

As. Job. But. The Lord. Specifically. Yeshua. Jesus. The Messiah. Specifically. Is speaking. About. Daniel. And what. He wrote. In the book. Which we began. In this ministry meeting. Yeshua. The Messiah. Spoke. In. The. Sermon. That he gave. The Olivet. Discord. In Matthew 24. And Matthew 25. He. Mentioned this. To the disciples. And he made. A reference. To the writing. Of Daniel. Concerning. The abomination. Of desolation. The. The man. That is known. As the antichrist. The counterfeit. Messiah. Of whom. We will learn. As we study. The book. Of Daniel. Notice. What Yeshua. Said. To the disciples. In verses. 14. And 15. Of Matthew. Chapter 24. Speaking about. The preaching. Of the gospel.

Of the kingdom. Because the kingdom. Will be restored. To Israel. In a future day. During the tribulation. Today. We preach. The gospel. Of the kingdom. Will be preached. In a future day. During the tribulation. Period. Today. We preach. The gospel. Of the grace. Of God. And all. Who believe. In the Lord Jesus. Yeshua. The Messiah. Become part. Of the ecclesia. The assembly. The church. The heavenly company. But during the tribulation. Days. The seven years. Of Jacob's trouble. The gospel. Of the coming. Kingdom. Will be preached. And. Here. We see the Lord. Jesus. The Messiah. Speaking to the disciples. And he. Leading them. As it were.

To the future day. Of the tribulation. Peered. At the end. Of the church. Age. During the tribulation. And he said. This gospel. Of the kingdom. Shall be preached. In all the world. For a witness. Unto all nations. And then. Shall. Shall the end. Come. The end. Mean the end. Of the tribulation. Day. The end. Of Jacob's trouble. The end. Of the time. Of sorrow. That will fall. Upon this world. The end. Of the day. Of the Lord. The end. Of the tribulation. And so. Yeshua. Is. Giving warning. To the disciples. In a sense. Beloved brothers. And sisters. He is speaking. To the. Jewish disciples. Of the tribulation.

Days. Which is. Ahead of us. And he's saying. When ye. Therefore. Shall see. The abomination. Of desolation. This is the. Antichrist. Who will. Stand in a temple. Claiming. To be God. Committing. The abomination. Of desolation. But you notice. Who wrote. About the abomination. Of desolation. It says. In verse 15. B. Spoken. By. Daniel. The prophet. Stand. In a holy place. Who saw the readers. Let him understand. Can you imagine. Beloved. Brothers. And sisters. Hear. The Lord. Jesus. The Messiah. Himself. God. The son. As man. He. Himself. Is mentioning. Daniel. The one. Whom. The Holy Spirit. Of God. Used. Used. To give. To us. This. Book. This.

Prophetic. Book. This. Apocalyptic. Book. The book. Of Daniel. As we study. This. Together. So the author. Of the book. Was Daniel. Himself. And you know. Beloved. Friend. This beautiful. Name. That God. Had given. To him. There. In Jerusalem. In Judea. The word. Dani. El. We all know. That the word. El. Is the. Singular of. Elohim. Plural. God. El. But. Dani. In Hebrew. Mean. My judge. Dan. Means. Judge. Dani. Mean. My judge. And the name. Of Daniel. Is. God. Is. My. Judge. The name. It's a beautiful name. Because. Daniel. New. That. By virtue. Of his name. We learned. That he was a man. Who knew. That God.

Does judge. And he judged. Righteously. To remind you. Beloved. Brothers. And sisters. And dear friends. That. God. Is. A holy. And a righteous. God. God. And he. Does judge. In the midst. Of his own people. Whether it is. Israel. Historically. Or whether it is. The church. In these days. In which. We live in. Today. In fact. We do read. In. First. Peter. Chapter. Four. Verse. Seventeen. For the time. Is come. The judgment. Must begin. At the house. Of God. And if it. First. Began. At us. What shall. The end. Be. Of them. Obey. Not. The gospel. Of God. In other words. God. Is a holy.

And a righteous. God. Who. Judge. Not only. The unregenerated. Individual. Who reject. Him. And reject. His offer. Of salvation. But he also. Judging. His own people. To remind you. That in. Second. Corinthians. Chapter. Five. In verse. For. We must. All. Appear. Before. The judgment. Seat. Of. The. Mashiach. Of. Christ. Even. God's. People. Will have to. Be. Appearing. Before. The. Lord. In the future. Days. For. The judgment. Seat. Of. Christ. In fact. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. We do. Read. The judgment. Must. Begin. At the house. Of. God. Now. And here. Is. The. People. Of. God. The Jewish. People. Are. Now. To. Anticipate. The judgment. Of. God.

Upon. Them. When. They. Rebelled. And. Turn. Away. From. The Lord. So. The name. Daniel. Tells. Us. That. My. Judge. Is. God. But. God. Always. Judge. Righteously. And. To. Remind. You. That. The. Hebrew. Writer. Reminded. The. Believers. That. Whom. The Lord. Loveth. He. Chasteneth. And. He. Scourges. Every. Son. Whom. He. Receiveth. If. You. Endure. Chastening. God. Deal. With. You. As. With. Sons. For. What. Son. Is. He. Whom. The. Father. Chasteneth. Not. For. It. Says. In. Verse. Eight. Of. Hebrews. Chapter. Twelve. But. If. Ye. Be. Without. Chastisement. Whereof. All. Are. Partakers. Then. Are. Ye. Bastards. And. Not. Sons. And. Therefore. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. As. We. Learn.

From. The. Book. Of. Daniel. We. See. How. God. Discipline. His. People. Israel. And. As. We. Read. In. Daniel. One. Verse. One. In. The. Third. Year. Of. The. Reign. Of. Yehokim. King. Of. Judah. Came. Nebuchad. Netzer. King. Of. Babylon. Unto. Jerusalem. And. Besieged. And. We. Read. The. First. Part. Of. Chapter. One. And. Verse. Two. And. Now. Let me just. Remind you. That. In the. History. Of. The. People. Of. Judah. There. Were. Three. Times. In. The. History. Of. Judah. In. Which. The. King. Of. Babylon. Nebuchad. Netzer. Came. Against. The. People. Of. Judah. And. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. He. Came. Against. The. People. Of. Israel. The. People. Of.

Judah. In. 605. BC. This. Is. The. Time. Which. We. Learn. Here. The. Book. Of. Daniel. And. This. 605. BC. What. Did. He. Do. He. Took. Daniel. And. Other. His. Friends. And. Some. Of. The. Vessels. And. He. Took. Them. To. The. Land. Of. Bavail. Later. On. In. 5. 97. BC. He. Also. Came. Again. And. He. Took. Yechezkel. And. 10. Thousand. Other. Jewish. People. And. More. An. Additional. Instrument. Of. The. House. Of. God. Once. Again. To. The. Land. Of. Shin. Ar. To. The. Land. Of. Bavail. And. Finally. In. 586. BC. King. Nebuchad. Netzer. Destroyed. The. City. Of. Yerushalayim. And. He. Burned. The. Temple. In. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. And. That. Was. The. Time.

When. The. Jewish. People. No. Longer. Had. The. Privilege. Of. Being. There. In. The. House. Of. The. Lord. And. Worshipping. The. God. Of. Israel. In. The. Land. Of. Israel. In. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. That. Remind. Us. Of. Seven. Where. We. Read. In. Verse. One. By. The. Rivers. Of. Babylon. There. We. Set. Down. Yeah. We. We. Wept. When. We. Remember. Zion. We. Hung. Our. Harps. Upon. The. Willow. In. Amidst. The. Wrath. For. There. They. That. Carried. Us. Away. Captive. Required. Of. Us. A. Song. And. They. That. Wasted. As. Required. Of. Us. Mirth. Saying. Sing. As. One. Of. The. Songs. Of. Zion. Of. Zion. And. Notice. The. Sad.

People. Of. Israel. The. People. Of. Judah. We. Read. What. They. Said. How. Shall. We. Sing. The. Lord. Song. In. A. Strange. Land. And. Then. They. Made. A. Decision. To. Repent. Before. The. Lord. If I. Do. Not. Remember. The. Let. My. Tongue. Cleave. To. The. Roof. Of. My. Mouth. If. I. Prefer. Not. Jerusalem. Above. My. Chief. Joy. And. Then. They. Asked. The. Lord. Remember. O. Lord. The. Children. Of. Edom. In. The. Day. Of. Jerusalem. Who. Said. Raised. Raised. Even. To. The. Foundation. Thereof. O. Daughter. Of. Babylon. Who. Art. To. Be. Destroyed. Happy. Shall. He. Be. That. Rewardeth. The. As. Thou. Has. Served. Us. Happy. Shall. He.

Be. That. Taketh. And. Dashes. Thy. Little. Ones. Against. The. Stone. Saying. Very. Strong. Statement. And. You. Might. Say. Request. From. The. Lord. And. For. All. Their. Souls. That. They. Have. Experienced. When. The. Babylonian. Took. Them. Captive. And. When. The. Edomite. Have. Mocked. Them. As. They. Were. On. The. Way. To. The. Land. Of. Babel. Oh. Beloved. Friend. What. An. Amazing. History. We. Learn. Here. From. The. Book. Of. Daniel. As. We. Began. With. That. Introduction. You. Notice. Beloved. People. Of. Israel. Isaiah. Jeremiah. Yehezkel. And. Daniel. But. If. You. Open. The. Hebrew. Tanakh. What. Is. In. The. English. Called. The. Old. Testament. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Not.

Placed. Among. The. Prophets. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Placed. Among. The. Writings. In. Hebrew. It. Says. The. Ketuvim. The. Tanakh. The. What. Is. Known. To. The. English. Speakers. Old. Testament. Is. Divided. Into. Three. Sections. The. Torah. These. Are. The. First. Five. Books. Of. The. Word. Of. God. Bereshit. Shemot. Vaikra. Bamidbar. Dvarim. Genesis. Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. And. Then. We. Have. The. Nevi'im. The. Prophets. And. That. Is. From. Really. From. Isaiah. All. The. Way. To. Malachi. But. Then. We. Have. The. Ketuvim. The. Third. Section. Of. The. Tanakh. Of. The. Hebrew. Scripture. And. Daniel. Is. Placed. In. The. Hebrew. Scriptures. Among. The. Ketuvim. And. The. Reason. For.

This. Is. Because. He. Was. Not. Or. Reckoned. As. A. Prophet. Initially. By. The. People. Of. Israel. He. Was. The. One. That. Became. A. Leader. In. Babel. And. He. Was. A. Stateman. Either. Politician. We. Might. Say. And. Yet. We. Know. That. He. Was. Truly. A. Prophet. As. Yeshua. Said. In. Matthew. Chapter. 24. When. You. Shall. See. The. Abomination. Of. Desolation. Spoken. By. Prophet. Daniel. Hanavi. Then. Ye. Which. Are. In. Judea. Fleeing. To. The. Mountains. Another. One. Yeshua. Jesus. The. Messiah. Who. Is. The. God. Of. Daniel. The. God. Of. Israel. He. Knew. Very. Well. That. Daniel. Was. A. Prophet. But. The. Jewish. Rabbis. Who. Translated. The. Hebrew. Tanakh.

From. Hebrew. To. Greek. They. Have. In. The. English. Scripture. The. Daniel. Is. Found. Among. The. Prophets. In. Fact. Among. The. Major. Prophets. Even. Before. Isaiah. And. The. Other. Prophets. That. Are. Found. In. The. Word. Of. God. Amazing. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. And. So. King. Nebuchad. Netzer. Came. Three. Times. Against. Jerusalem. And. Judea. And. Then. In. This. Time. Which. We. Study. In. The. Book. Of. Daniel. 605. BC. It. Was. Then. And. There. That. Daniel. Himself. Was. Carried. With. His. Friends. And. Some. Of. The. Vessels. From. The. House. Of. The. Lord. And. Into. The. Land. Of. Shinar. This. Is. Very. Interesting. Because. Through. The. Study. Of. The. Book.

Daniel. You. Will. Notice. That. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Written. In. More. Than. One. Language. In. Fact. Chapter. One. To. Chapter. Two. Verse. Four. A. It. Is. Really. In. The. Hebrew. Language. Evrit. Then. When. You. Continue. On. From. Chapter. Two. Verse. Four. B. To. Chapter. Seven. And. Verse. Twenty. Eight. Daniel. Was. Writing. In. Aramit. In. Aramaic. The. Babylonian. Language. Then. In. Chapter. Eight. Verse. One. To. The. End. Of. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Into. Chapter. Twelve. Verse. Thirteen. He. Is. Going. Back. To. The. Hebrew. Language. And. There. Is. A. Reason. For. That. Because. When. He. Is. Speaking. About. Events. That. Will. Occur. During. The. Times. Of.

The. Gentiles. He. Is. Writing. In. The. Language. Of. The. Gentile. In. Aramit. And. Then. When. He. Is. Specifically. Speaking. Concerning. Israel. His. People. And. Jerusalem. The. City. That. He. Belong. To. His. Writing. In. The. Hebrew. Language. This. Is. Wonderful. To. See. This. As. We. Study. A. Together. Prophecy. Of. Daniel. This. Is. Very. Very. Interesting. My. Dear. Brothers. And. Sisters. Now. The. Book. Itself. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Very. Similar. To. The. Book. Of. Revelation. Remember. The. Revelation. Of. Yeshua. The. Messiah. The. Unveiling. You. Remember. God. Is. Unveiling. Certain. Truth. To. Daniel. As. He. Unveils. Certain. Truth. To. Yohanan. The. Apostle. On. Who. Was. On. The.

Island. Of. Patmos. To. Daniel. He. Unveiled. Before. Him. Some. Truth. Concerning. The. Future. Day. Of. The. People. Of. Israel. But. Especially. In. Connection. With. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. And. We. Will. Learn. As. We. Study. This. Book. Of. Daniel. That. Really. From. The. Time. That. King. Nebuchadnezzar. Came. To. Take. Our. Jewish. People. From. The. Land. In. Six. Or. Five. B.C. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Began. In. Hebrew. It is. Called. A. Tot. Hagoyim. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Yeshua. Once. Again. Jesus. The. Messiah. Spoke. About. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. And. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Began. When. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. Was. Taken.

Over. By. The. Babylonian. And. The. Jewish. Were. Under. Direct. Control. Of. God. In. A. Sense. That. They. Were. And. Now. Living. In. Their. Land. Not. Away. From. The. Land. From. The. Time. That. The. Jewish. People. Were. Taken. Captive. To. Bavell. That. When. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Began. And. The. Time. Of. The. Gentile. Will. End. Only. When. The. Gentiles. Will. Cease. To. Control. The. Jewish. People. The. People. Of. Israel. And. Israel. Will. Be. Under. God. Once. Again. As. It. Was. In. The. Days. Before. And. That. Will. Only. Happen. At. The. End. Of. The. Seven. Year. Tribulation. When. The. Mashiach. Yeshua. Will. Come. At. His. Second.

Coming. And. He. Will. Restore. Israel. To. Himself. Of. Whom. We. Read. In. Revelation. Chapter. One. And. Verse. Seven. Behold. He. Cometh. With. Clouds. And. Every. Eye. Shall. See. Him. And. They. Also. Which. Pierce. Him. And. All. Kindles. Of. The. Earth. Shall. Wail. Because. Of. Him. Even. So. Amen. Yeshua. Said. I. Am. Alpha. And. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Begin. During. The. Times. Of. Daniel. Six. Or. Five. B.C. Before. BCE. Before. The. Common. Era. And. It. Will. End. After. The. Church. Will. Be. Raptured. And. Then. The. Seven. Year. Tribulation. Period. When. Israel. And. All. The. Nations. Of. The. Of. The. World.

Will. Experience. A. Terrible. Days. And. At. The. End. Of. The. Tribulation. Period. Israel. As. A. Nation. Will. Recognize. That. Yeshua. Is. Indeed. The. Messiah. And. They. Shall. Look. Upon. Him. Whom. They. Have. Pierced. And. They. Will. Receive. Him. They. Will. Confess. Their. Sin. And. Israel. The. Nation. Will. Be. Restored. As. Speaking. To. The. Disciples. He. Was. Saying. In. Luke. Chapter. 21. Verse. 20. And. When. Ye. Shall. See. Jerusalem. Compass. With. Armies. Then. Know. That. The. Desolation. Thereof. Is. Nigh. He. Speaking. About. The. Upcoming. 70. A.D. Destruction. Of. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. From. His. Point. Of. Time. When. He. Yeshua. Was. Here. On. Earth. Then. Let. Them. Which.

Be. In. Judea. Flee. Into. The. Mountains. And. Let. Them. Which. Are. In. The. Midst. Of. It. Depart. Out. And. Let. Not. Them. That. Are. In. The. Countries. Enter. There. Into. For. These. Be. The. Days. Of. Vengeance. That. All. Things. Which. Are. Written. May. Be. In. Those. Days. For. There. Shall. Be. Great. Distress. In. The. Land. And. Wrath. Upon. These. People. Now. Notice. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. The. Lord. Jesus. The. Messiah. Of. Course. Is. Now. Speaking. About. Days. That. Are. Ahead. He. Was. Speaking. At. About. Thirty. Something. A.D. Now. And. He. Is. Anticipating. The. Time. Will. Come. And. Will. Destroy. The. Second. Temple. So. He.

Is. Preparing. His. Disciples. For. This. Time. But. Then. Notice. What. Yeshua. The. Messiah. Is. Saying. Of course. He. Knows. Already. What. Happened. Far. Earlier. In. The. Days. When. King. Nebuchadnezzer. Came. To. Take. Daniel. And. Others. From. Judea. To. Babel. At. 605. BC. Later. On. At. 597. BC. And. Then. Finally. At. 586. BC. Where. The. Temple. Was. Burnt. With. Fire. And. Jerusalem. Was. Completely. Destroyed. And. All. The. Jewish. People. Except. Some. Were. Taken. To. Babel. But. Now. Notice. What. Yeshua. Is. Saying. And. He. Using. This. Expression. The Times. Of. The Gentiles. In. Verse. 24. Of. Luke. Chapter. 21. Yeshua. Said. And. They. Shall. Fall. By. The. Edge. Of. The. Sword. And.

Shall. Be. Led. Away. Captive. Into. Into. All. Nations. And. Jerusalem. Shall. Be. Trotten. Down. Of. The. Gentiles. It. Is. Once. Again. Trotten. Down. Of. The. Gentiles. It. Was. Before. And. It. Will. Be. After. Yeshua. Will. Die. And. It. Still. Been. Over. The. Generation. Betrodden. Down. By. The. Gentiles. And. Then. He. Says. Until. Until. When? Until. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Be. Fulfilled. And. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Be. Fulfilled. Is. When. Israel. As. A. Nation. Will. Accept. The. Mashiach. At. The. End. Of. The. Tribulation. Period. In. Fact. The. Church. Age. In. Which. We. Live. In. Today. Is. Still. Part. Of. The. Times. Of. The. Times.

The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. Began. At. 605. BC. When. Daniel. Gave. Us. This. Book. Here. And. Its. Beginning. Was. At. 605. BC. As. We. Read. In. Daniel. Chapter. 1. And. Verse. 1. And. 2. In. The. Third. Years. Of. The. Reign. Of. Yehoyakim. King. Of. Judah. Came. The. King. Of. Babylon. Unto. Jerusalem. And. Besieged. 605. BCE. Before. The. Common. Era. And. The. Lord. Gave. Yoyakim. King. Of. Judah. Into. His. Hands. Very. Very. Interesting. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. And. Dear. Friends. So. This. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Really. In. Its. Character. Is. Apocalyptic. It's. Like. It's. Unveiling. Truth. Before. The. Prophet. Daniel. As. Yechezkel. As. Well. Receive. Certain. Truth. Apocalyptic. Unveiling. Truth. And. Also.

We. Have. Others. Such. As. Zechariah. As. Well. As. As. The. Apostle. Yohanan. John. Who. Receive. As. Well. An. Apocalyptic. Message. From. The. Lord. Unveiling. Concerning. The. Person. Of. The. Lord. Jesus. The. Messiah. So. Daniel. Yechezkel. Zechariah. Chazon. This. Is. Revelation. All. These. Books. Are. Books. That. Present. Before. Us. A. Truth. Concerning. Symbols. And. Prophetic. Messages. That. Are. Unveiled. Before. The. Prophets. Before. The. Servants. Of. The. Lord. In. Order. To. Show. Them. The. Things. That. Pertaining. To. God. Dealing. With. Mankind. But. Also. Specifically. In. Connection. With. Daniel's. People. The. Jewish. People. The. People. Of. Israel. Now. It. Had. Been. Said. And. It's. So. Important. To. Realize.

That. Daniel. Is. A. Book. That. Gives. Us. Every. Chapter. Has. A. Certain. Theme. Certain. Message. That. God. Is. Sharing. Through. The. Prophet. With. Us. All. As. We. Learn. From. This. Book. As. Israel. Received. The. Book. Of. Daniel. And. Therefore. The. Book. Itself. Is. Not. Presented. In. A. Chronological. Order. Because. The. Orders. Of. The. Chapters. Are. Not. In. A. Chronological. Order. In. Fact. We. Have. In. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Beginning. With. Chapter. One. Chapter. Two. Chapter. Three. Chapter. Four. That. Goes. In. Order. And. Then. Chapter. Seven. Following. Seven. And. Eight. Following. Chapter. Four. In. The. Order. Of. Events. In. A. Chronological. Order. Then. Back. To. Chapter.

Five. And. Then. Up. Forward. To. Chapter. Nine. And. Then. Again. Returning. Back. To. Chapter. Six. And. Ultimately. Chapter. Ten. Chapter. Eleven. And. Chapter. Twelve. And. So. The. Chronological. Order. Is. Chapters. One. Two. Three. Four. Seven. Eight. Five. Nine. Six. Ten. Eleven. And. Twelve. And. Yet. As. We. Learn. From. The. Book. We. Learn. Very. Quickly. That. There. Is. A. Theme. There. Is. A. Message. That. Servant. Of. The. Lord. That. Daniel. Receive. From. The. Lord. As. He. Is. Presenting. Before. Us. In. This. Book. That. He. Set. Before. Us. That. Is. Called. The. Book. Of. Daniel. So. We. Learn. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. That. A. Book. Of. Daniel.

Is. A. Book. That. Have. Both. It. Has. Topics. And. It. Also. Has. Prophetic. Message. We. Learn. Of. The. History. Of. Our. Jewish. People. And. We. Learn. How. The. Lord. Have. Dealt. With. Them. During. The. Time. Of. The. And. To. Remind. You. Beloved. Friend. Never. To. Forget. That. God. Never. Finish. With. Israel. Even. Though. He. Have. Allowed. Israel. The. Nation. To. Be. Taken. Captive. By. The. Babylonian. This. Is. Very. Important. To. Understand. In. Fact. The. Apostle. Shaul. Paul. Stressed. This. Again. And. Again. As. He. Wrote. The. Epistles. The. Letters. To. The. Assemblies. He. Mentioned. This. In. Order. To. Help. The. Church. To. Understand. That. We. Live.

In. A. Special. Age. A. Special. Era. Of. The. Church. Age. Where. God's. Message. Of. The. Gospel. Of. The. Grace. Of. God. Is. Preached. To. All. The. Nations. Of. The. World. Doing. This. Time. Is. Is. Still. Under. The. Times. Of. The. Gentiles. But. A. Church. Age. Will. Come. To. A. Conclusion. To. An. End. And. Then. God. Will. Restore. His. Dealing. With. His. People. Israel. As. The. Apostle. Paul. Wrote. In. Romans. Chapter. Eleven. And. He. Said. In. Verse. Twenty. And. Twenty. Six. To. The. Local. Assembly. In. The. City. Of. Rome. He. Says. I. Would. Not. Brethren. That. Ye. Should. Be. Ignorant. Of. This. Mystery. Lest. Ye. Should.

Be. Wise. In. Your. Own. Conceit. That. Blindness. In. Part. Is. Happened. To. Israel. Notice. Blindness. In. Part. Not. Complete. Blindness. But. In. Part. Because. The. Early. Church. Saints. Were. All. Jewish. Believers. Of. The. Nation. Of. Israel. Who. Gave. Us. The. Word. Of. God. So. Blindness. In. Part. Happened. To. Israel. And. It. Is. Until. Verse. 25b. Until. The. Fullness. Of. The. Gentiles. Be. Come. In. Until. The. Last. Days. Of. The. Church. Age. And. Then. We. Will. Have. The. Tribulation. All. Israel. Shall. Be. Saved. As. We. Read. Here. In. Romans. 11. 26. And. So. All. Israel. Shall. Be. Saved. As. It. Is. Written. There. Shall. Come. Out. Of. Zion.

The. Deliverer. And. Shall. Turn. Away. Godliness. From. Yaakov. From. Jacob. For. This. Is. My. Covenant. God. Says. Unto. Them. It's. Not. Israel. Covenant. Unto. God. But. God's. Covenant. Unto. Them. He. Made. The. Promises. He. Is. The. One. Who. Have. Elected. The. Nation. Of. Israel. He. Is. The. One. Who. Have. Chosen. The. People. Of. Israel. Through. Them. To. Bring. The. Mashiach. The. Messiah. To. This. World. The. Word. Of. God. Notice. He. Says. For. This. Is. My. Covenant. Unto. Them. When. I. Shall. Take. Away. Their. Sins. Concerning. The. Gospel. Their. Enemies. For. Your. Sakes. But. As. Touching. The. Election. They. Are. Beloved. For. Their. Fathers. Sakes. Wonderful.

As. We. Read. Here. In. The. Introduction. Of. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. And. So. As. We. Read. In. Daniel. Chapter. One. Six. Or. Five. B.C. The. King. Of. Babylon. Besiege. Jerusalem. Remember. Jerusalem. Is. The. Place. Where. God. Set. His. Name. Jerusalem. Is. Where. The. Temple. Stood. Jerusalem. Is. Where. The. Worship. Of. The. Lord. Was. Jerusalem. Is. The. City. That. God. Have. Chosen. To. Set. His. Name. There. Jerusalem. Is. The. Very. Same. City. Of. Which. We. Read. In. The. Gospel. Of. Luke. When. The. Lord. Jesus. The. Messiah. Wept. Over. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. When. He. Long. So. Much. To. Restore. The. City.

Of. Jerusalem. And. That. Is. The. People. Of. Israel. And. Israel. Would. Not. And. Therefore. That. Time. Of. The. Gentiles. Continue. On. Now. For. Such. A. Long. Time. We. Read. O. Jerusalem. Jerusalem. Which. Killeth. The. Prophet. And. Stones. Them. That. Are. Sent. Unto. The. How. Often. Would. I. Have. Yeshua. Said. The. Lord. Jesus. Demasai. Said. To. The. People. Of. Israel. The. Time. When. He. Was. Here. And. He. Said. Behold. Your. House. Is. Left. Unto. You. Desolate. And. Verily. I. Say. Unto. You. Ye. Shall. Not. See. Me. Notice. Again. The. Word. Until. As. Shaul. Paul. Said. To. The. Roman. Until. Blessed. Is. He. That. Cometh. In. The.

Name. Of. The. Lord. And. So. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. It. Is. Very. Interesting. That. The. Prophet. Daniel. By. Divine. Instruction. Is. Led. To. Write. This. Book. Beginning. With. 605. B.C. And. Because. Daniel. Lived. Throughout. All. The. 69. 70. Years. Of. The. Captivity. Of. Our. People. Of. Israel. In. Babylon. You. Can. See. That. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Given. To. Us. And. Presented. Before. Us. While. Daniel. Himself. Was. Still. Part. Of. Those. That. Were. Captive. In. Babylon. Extremely. Interesting. Beloved. A. Brothers. And. Sisters. And. So. As. We. Read. These. First. A. Few. Verses. By. Way. Of. Introduction. We. Learn. Here. That. Nebuchadnezzar. Came. The. King. Of. Babylon. He.

Came. To. The. City. Of. Jerusalem. He. Besieged. And. Imagine. Now. Jewish. People. Began. To. Be. To. Be. Controlled. By. Other. Nations. The. Babylonian. They. Are. Now. No. Longer. Under. God's. Control. Protected. By. Him. Because. Now. God. Had. Handed. Them. Over. To. Another. Nation. And. So. We. Read. In. Verse. Two. And. The. Lord. Gave. Your. Yakim. King. Of. Judah. Into. His. Hand. You. Notice. The. Word. Lord. Here. When. You. Read. The. Hebrew. Text. The. Word. For. Lord. Here. Is. The. Hebrew. Adonai. We. Read. In. That. Verse. Two. Vayiten. Adonai. Be. Yado. Et. Yehoi. Melech. Yehudah. The. Word. Adonai. Here. Is. The. Hebrew. Word. That. Is. Speaking.

Of. God. As. Master. As. Lord. It. Is. Not. The. Word. Lord. Which. Is. The. Covenant. Keeping. Name. Of. God. Yehovah. Jehovah. That. Is. Mentioned. Only. In. Chapter. Nine. When. Daniel. Is. Praying. Here. Time. Of. His. Discipline. Upon. His. Own. People. He. Gave. Notice. This. Expression. Vayiten. Adonai. And. The. Lord. This. Adonai. Gave. Yoakim. King. Of. Judah. Into. His. Hands. God. Handed. Over. Yoakim. The. King. Of. Judah. Into. The. Hand. Of. Nebuchad. Netzer. The. King. Of. Bavell. That. King. That. Was. That. He. Gave. Into. His. Hand. The. King. Of. Yehudah. But. Also. The. Lord. Gave. Into. His. Hand. Some. Or. Certain. A. Part. Of. The. Vessels.

Of. The. House. Of. God. Of. The. Temple. The. Vessels. That. Were. Used. For. The. Worship. Of. The. Lord. For. The. Worship. Of. God. Of. Israel. Golden. Vessels. Silver. Vessels. Vessels. For. Used. To. Be. Set. Apart. For. God. For. God's. Worship. Notice. What we read. In. Verse. 2. B. Not. Only. That. The. Lord. Gave. You know. A. King. King. Of. Judah. Into. His. Hand. Notice. It. Says. With. Part. Not. All. Yet. That. Will. Happen. In. 597. B.C. Here. Now. At. 605. B.C. The. Lord. Gave. You. Yakim. King. Of. Judah. Into. His. Hand. And. Part. Of. The. Vessels. Of. The. House. Of. God. And. What. Do. You. Think.

The. King. Of. Bavell. Have. Done. With. These. Vessels. From. The. House. Of. God. It. Says. Here. In. Verse. 2. Which. Be. Carried. Into. The. Land. Of. Shin. To. The. House. Of. His. God. Small. G. Days. Of. Old. When. A. Nation. Fought. Against. Another. Nation. And. When. One. Nation. Defeated. The. Other. Nation. They. Will. Go. Into. The. Temple. Of. That. Nation. They. Will. Destroy. It. And. Take. The. God. The. Idol. That. Is. The. Nation. That. Won. The. Battle. Will. Take. The. Gods. Of. This. Other. Nation. Into. His. Own. House. Of. His. Own. God. But. He. Came. To. The. House. Of. The. God. Of. Israel. He. Doesn't. Find.

Any. Idols. There. What. Does. He. Find. He. Find. Vessels. We. Do. Not. Know. Which. Vessels. Exactly. He. Took. But. As. We. Know. We. Had. The. Ark. Of. The. Covenant. In. The. Holy. Of. Holies. We. Had. The. Mercy. Seat. The. Kaporet. Upon. It. We. Had. The. Menorah. The. Lamp. The. Temple. In. The. City. Of. Yerushalayim. Had. The. Golden. Altar. Also. The. Table. Of. Showbread. Then. The. Lever. Then. The. Braves. And. Altar. And. Many. Of. The. Vessels. For. The. Worship. Of. The. God. Of. Israel. Can. You. Imagine. To. Enter. Into. The. Temple. To. Defile. The. Temple. Well. The. Temple. Was. Already. Defiled. By. Our. Own. People. Who.

Violated. God's. Word. But. Now. God. Handed. Over. Vessels. From. The. House. Of. God. And. Allowing. The. King. Of. Bavell. Nebuchadnezzar. To. Take. And. To. Carry. These. Vessels. And. The. King. Of. Israel. And. Some. Of. The. Jewish. People. To. Carry. Them. Into. The. Land. Of. Shinar. If. You. Remember. The. Land. Of. Shinar. It. Is. The. Land. Where. Idolatry. Began. Both. In. Genesis. Chapter. 10. And. Genesis. Chapter. 11. We. Learn. Of. The. Land. Of. Shinar. To. Remind. You. That. In. Genesis. Chapter. 10. And. Verse. 10. We. Read. And. The. Beginning. Of. His. Kingdom. This. Is. The. Kingdom. Of. Nimrod. The. Word. Nimrod. Mean. We. Will. Rebel. A. Man. By. The. Name.

Of. Nimrod. Whose. Name. Mean. We. Will. Rebel. He. Had. A. Kingdom. And. It. Says. Here. And. The. Beginning. Of. His. Kingdom. Was. Babel. Babylon. The. Word. Balbel. Le. Balbel. Mean. To. Confound. Confusion. And. There. We. Read. And. Erech. And. Achad. And. Kalnef. And. It. Says. That. It. Is. In. The. Land. Of. Shinar. This. Is. Genesis. 10. And. Verse. 10. We. Continue. To. Read. In. Genesis. 11. And. Verse. 1. And. The. Whole. Earth. Was. One. Language. And. One. Speech. And. It. Came. To. Pass. As. They. Journeyed. From. The. East. That. They. Found. A. Plain. In. The. Land. Of. Shinar. And. They. Dwell. There. And. You. Remember. What. We. Read. Beloved.

Brothers. And. Sisters. Concerning. The. Land. Of. Shinar. Genesis. 11. Verse. Three. And. They. Said. One. To. Another. Go. To. Let. Us. Make. Brick. And. Burn. Them. Thoroughly. And. They. Had. Brick. For. Stone. And. Slime. Had. They. For. Mortar. And. They. Said. Go. To. Let. Us. Build. Us. A. City. And. A. Tower. Whose. Top. May. Reach. Unto. Heaven. And. Let. Us. Make. Us. A. Name. Lest. We. Be. Scattered. Abroad. Upon. The. Face. Of. The. All. Earth. In. Fact. In. The. Land. Of. Shinar. The. Kingdom. Of. Nimrod. Let. Us. Rebel. Is. Where. We. Began. With. Idolatry. Idolatry. The. Worship. Of. Other. Gods. In. Fact. They. Said. Let. Us.

Build. A. City. And. A. Tower. And. Let. Us. Make. A. Name. Unto. Ourself. They. Wanted. To. Reach. To. Heaven. On. Their. Own. Way. Through. Their. Own. Way. And. Yet. God. Had. To. Judge. Them. Death. Was. In. The. Land. Of. Shinar. The. Lord. Came. Down. Verse. Five. To. See. And. The. Tower. Which. The. Children. Of. Men. Build. And. The. Lord. Said. Behold. The. People. Is. One. And. They. Have. All. One. Language. And. This. They. Began. To. Do. And. Now. Nothing. Will. Be. Restrained. From. Them. Which. They. Have. Imagined. Go. To. Let. Us. Go. Down. And. They. Confound. Here. Is. The. Hebrew. Word. Nevale. Come. From. The.

Word. Bavell. To. Confuse. To. Confound. Their. Language. That. They. May. Not. Understand. One. Another. Speech. And. The. Lord. Scattered. Them. Abroad. From. Thence. Upon. The. Face. Of. All. The. Earth. And. They. Left. To. Build. The. City. Notice. Verse. Nine. Of. Genesis. Eleven. We. Read. Therefore. Is. The. Name. Of. It. Called. Bavell. Because. The. Lord. Did. Their. Confound. The. Language. Of. All. The. Earth. And. From. Thence. Did. The. Lord. Scatter. Them. Abroad. Upon. The. Face. Of. All. The. Earth. Beloved. Brothers. And. Sisters. The. Jewish. People. And. The. Temple's. Vessels. Were. Now. Carried. To. Shinar. To. The. House. Of. Their. Gods. And. Therefore. The. Judgment. Of. God.

Came. Upon. His. Own. People. And. Notice. What. We. Read. Here. It. Says. In. Verse. Two. Of. Daniel. Chapter. One. And. Verse. Two. And. He. Brought. The. Vessels. Into. The. Treasure. House. Of. His. God. Nebuchad. Netzer. How sad. It. Was. Carried. The. Jewish. People. Carried. Part. Of. The. Vessels. Took. Them. Away. From. The. House. Of. God. And. Brought. Them. All. Where. The. Place. Of. Idolatry. Was. And. The. Jewish. People. The. People. Of. Israel. Were. There. By. Their. Rivers. Of. Babylon. Their. Weeping. When. They. Remember. Zion. Well. My. Dear. Friend. This. Is. The. Way. In. Which. God. Deal. With. Even. His. Own. People. In. Discipline. Whom. The.

Lord. Loves. And. The. Loves. Because. Of. Disobedience. God. By. His. Providence. As. A. Sovereign. God. He. Took. The. Jewish. People. And. Led. Them. Into. The. Land. Of. Babel. And. So. Just. To. Conclude. The. Introduction. I. Would. Like. Just. To. Mention. Just. This. One. Important. Point. Here. That. We. Must. Remember. That. The. Theme. Of. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Is. Really. The. Sovereignty. Of. God. Over. The. Affairs. Of. All. Men. In. General. And. In. Particular. Over. The. Affair. Of. The. People. Of. Israel. We. Read. In. Daniel. Chapter. 4. Verse. 17. This. Matter. Is. By. The. Decree. Of. The. Watchers. And. The. Demand. By. The. Word. Of. The. Holy. Ones.

To. The. Intent. That. The. Living. May. Know. That. The. Most. High. Ruleth. In. The. Kingdom. Of. Men. And. Giveth. It. To. Whom. Soever. He. Will. And. Setteth. Up. Over. It. The. Basest. Of. Men. The. Most. High. Ruler. Ruleth. Over. The. Kingdom. Of. Men. This. Is. The. Introduction. To. The. Study. Of. The. Book. Of. Daniel. Well. God. Bless. You. My. Dear. Friends. Dear. Brothers. And. Sisters. As. We. Study. Together. This. Interesting. Book. Of. Daniel. We. Will. Take. It. One. Chapter. At. A. Time. One. Verse. At. A. Time. One. Theme. At. A. Time. And. Trust. That. The. Lord. Will. Bless. His. Word. God. Bless. You. My. Dear.
