Read the Bible in 2 Years: Daniel 7-9

I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.

And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.

Daniel 7:13-14 ESV

The Bible is ONE story pointing to ONE God.

And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”

But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?”

And they all condemned him as deserving death.

Mark 14:60-64 ESV

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of Man and the Son of God.

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Revelation 19:11-16 ESV

He is the Word of God and the King of Kings.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Daniel 5-6

When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

Daniel 6:10 ESV

1️⃣ This was already Daniel’s practice. He didn’t start praying because of this law — he continued praying despite the law.

2️⃣ When faced with a choice, we must obey God rather than man. (See Acts 5:27-33 for more on this)

3️⃣ Fear God, not men. Daniel could’ve just continued praying in secret, but he chose to trust God in the face of danger.

4️⃣ All too often, we run headfirst into work mode and then tack on a little prayer at the end. Prayer should be our first response, rather than an afterthought, to testing, temptations, and trials.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Daniel 3-4

Sometimes God brings us to repentance through His great mercy and sometimes through His mighty judgment. Either way, He is always good and working for good.

After King Nebuchadnezzar saw the miraculous rescue of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, be said, “to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you! It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me. How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.” (Daniel 4:1-3 ESV)

But not long after that, he was admiring his city, Babylon, saying “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?” (Daniel 4:30 ESV)

And God humbled him.

While the words were still in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you, and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.”

Daniel 4:31-32

And it came to be.

And, in the end, God pours out His grace and mercy on Nebuchadnezzar who then says, “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” (Daniel 4:37 ESV)

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Daniel 1-2

1️⃣ Be prudent. “Why is the decree so urgent?”

2️⃣ Set up a time to meet in the near future. “Daniel went in and requested the king to appoint him a time.”

3️⃣ Ask your friends to pray. “Daniel … made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah … and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven…”

🙏 And now I’m asking y’all to pray for someone who’s been watching my videos on YouTube. Please pray for the Lord to give me wisdom and discernment in answering my opponents with gentleness and respect.

Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might.

He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;

he reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him.

To you, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise, for you have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king’s matter.

Daniel 2:20b-23 ESV
