(Reading Sep 18-Sep 25)

39. Daniel’s Visions of Restoration

Key Point:
Daniel’s visions and dreams symbolize the sovereignty of God and His coming kingdom. Daniel himself is a stirring example of faith and courage even in his final years. Meanwhile, the return to Jerusalem begins and the foundation for the temple is laid, despite opposition.

Key Verses:
(from Darius’s decree, ordering his people to fear the God of Daniel)
    “He rescues and saves;
        He performs signs and wonders
        in the heavens and on the earth.
    He has rescued Daniel
        from the power of the lions” (Daniel 6:27, DB page 1231).

Outline:
Daniel’s Apocalyptic visions
    The four beasts and the ram and goat (7-8)
    The writing on the wall (5)
    The 70 “sevens” (9)
    Daniel in the lion’s den (6)
    Daniel’s last vision (10-12)
The Restoration Begins
   First return to Jerusalem (Ezra 1-3)
   Opposition to temple’s construction (Ezra 4-6)


Thought Questions:

1.    What is one trait in Daniel’s life that you would like to see mature in your own life?

2.    What is the value of Daniel’s visions for us today?

3.    What sin brought on the writing on the wall and the destruction of Belshazzar?

4.    In the “Vision of the 70 Sevens” what do the following mean: the seven sevens, the 62 sevens, the one seven, and the abomination that causes desolation (see Matt. 24:25)?

5.    What saved Daniel from the lions?

6.    Some see that last part of Daniel 11 and 12 as referring still to Antiochus. Others see it as referring to the end of time. How do you see it and why? Does it matter?
