“I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me." Daniel 7:15
As I was preparing for this chapter, I was struggling to find a message that hit my heart. Then I read this from Kent Hughes and it struck home, "Many people love the book of Daniel, but few venture into these last six chapters. In Sunday school we learned the stories of Daniel in the lions' den, the handwriting on the wall, as well as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego being thrown into the blazing furnace. But how many Sunday school classes even ventured across the line of chapter 6 into the dark mysteries of Daniel 7—12? I would venture to say that most Christians could not tell you what is contained in chapters 7—12 of the book of Daniel. Some people do not study the prophecies of Daniel 7—12 because they are convinced they will never be able to understand them. They have the opinion that if scholars cannot agree on the interpretation of these chapters, they will not be able to understand the true meaning.
Other people do not study these chapters because they think the prophecies are too frightening."
Let's not worry about our inabilities to interpret, but instead, let's trust in the Holy Spirit to guide us and to open our hearts and minds to what He wants us to understand. So, please join me in reading Daniel 7 and be encouraged!
