It has been some time since we have addressed prophecy.
This needs to be rectified, as the current thinking in our church
holds that prophecy is best ignored or denied. There are thus
three purposes for this study:
- First, there is the character of Daniel, a hero of the
faith. His actions are a model for us in trying times.
- Next, there is the question of how God treats a nation that
calls on his name - but does not obey his commands.
- Finally, there is the surety of prophecy. The
Christian needs to know that what God foretells will come to
pass.
