O Lord, Listen! O Lord, Forgive! O Lord, Hear and Act! :: March 23, 2025

Daniel chapter 9 is a little different. It’s definitely the same book, but it has a different feel to it than what has come before.

For one, it doesn’t start with a problem or a vision. It doesn’t have one of those classic Bible story problems like we saw so many times in the first half of the book. A king, a dream, a threat (chapters 1-6). And it doesn’t start with one of those wild and crazy apocalyptic visions like we’ve seen so far in the second half of the book (chapters 7 and 8).

It’s still very prophetic, as we’ll see at the enigmatic end of the chapter, but Daniel 9 is different.
