  1. Daniel Chapter 9 • Coastland UniversityPastor Brett Peterson

  2. In the ninth chapter of Daniel, Daniel concludes that the 70-year period of Israel’s captivity is virtually over, and that return of Jews to their own land is imminent. With this hope, Daniel begins to pray for himself and his people.

  3. Daniel was about 80 years old here • Daniel, even as he sees the prophecy about the returning to Jerusalem about to be fulfilled,did not stop working, but remained faithful to his employer and faithful to his God. By remaining faithful to his employer, Daniel remained faithful to His God.

  4. The date of this chapter is therefore 539 B.C., 3 years before Cyrus permitted the Jews to return from exile, and 67 years after Daniel had been carried captive at the beginning of the captivity, 606 B.C.

  5. Daniel might possibly have heard this prophecy of Jeremiah from his own mouth, before he went to Babylon; since the first intimation of it was in the first year of Jehoiakim, #Jer 27:1,7, and after this the prophecy might be sent to Babylon for the use of the captive Jews there; • and indeed a copy of all his prophecies was no doubt brought thither at the last captivity of the people; so that it is easy to account for it how Daniel came by it; #Jer 25:12 29:10, which Daniel carefully read over

  6. Until now, Daniel could not pray the prayer of chapter 9, for God had commanded the Jews not to pray for Israel (see Jeremiah 7:16; 11:14; 14:11).

  7. After the 70 years of captivity ended, two things would happen: first, the Babylonians would be punished for their severity toward the Jews, and second, the Jews would return to Israel where they would rebuild the temple. • (Jeremiah 25:1-14 • 29:1-14; Zechariah 1:12-17).

  8. Here we have a prophet in scripture reading a prophet in scripture. • Lets see what Daniel was reading - turn to Jeremiah 29:10-13 • 10 For thus says the LORD: Only when Babylon's seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. • 11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. • 12 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. • 13 When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart,

  9. (Dan 9:4-19) is a record of Daniels prayer

  10. Why were they in excile? • Lev. 25:1-4 - the law that states every 7th year they had to give the land a 1 year sabath or rest. • II Chron. 36:15-21 - Isreal never gave the land it's sabath - for 490 years. • - they owed God 70 years of sabaths for the land.

  11. Back to the Land - Where is Isreal today? - they went back to the land and became a nation again in 1948 - this was clearly prophesied in scripture! • -Are they giving the land its Sabath every seven years? - NO. • -Loophole lease - 6 years they farm the land - the seventh they lease it out (generally to Christians) who farm it that year and share the proffit with them. • The pharisees are still with us - when will Israel learn? - you will find this out!

  12. Daniel’s Prayer (9:4-15) • While a fuller exposition of the riches of this text is not possible here, we shall seek to highlight the main features of this portion of Daniel’s prayer. • (1) Daniel Prayer is one of Repentance. Daniel’s confession mirrors the words of 2 Chronicles 36:15-16

  13. (2) The Word of God is the standard, not mans laws, as spoken by the prophets and recorded in the Holy Scriptures, is the standard by which Daniel’s sins, and those of his fellow-Israelites, are identified. • (3) Daniel’s confession of sin is precisely what is required of Israel in order to be forgiven and restored. • For us - if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

  14. - Read Daniel 9:20-23 • Daniel was praying and it was answered - was anyone else praying? • - Don't ever think that the prayers of one person can't be a powerful thing!

  15. I believe there is a very clear connection between the arrival and announcement of Gabriel in chapter 9 and the vision Daniel received in chapter 8, even though it happened 12 or more years earlier.

  16. Daniel 8 Daniel 9 The “little horn” (8:12-14, 22- 25) The “prince who is to come” (v. 26) Gabriel is the interpreter (v. 16) Gabriel explains the vision (v. 21) Concerns events of the end time(vv. 7,19,26) Events bring matters to conclusion (v. 24) Opposes the “Prince of princes” Messiah the Prince will be cut off (vv. 25-26) Removes regular sacrifice (v. 12) Stops sacrifice and grain offering (v. 27)“People of prince” destroy Jerusalem and the sanctuary (v. 26) Destroys many (vv. 24, 25) Destruction, abominations, desolation (v. 27) Horn broken without human agency (v. 25) Complete destruction poured out on him (v. 27)

  17. Gabriel appears by name in both chapters (8 and 9) and here only.[1] The focus of both chapters 8 and 9 is on Israel, the last days, the opposition of the “little horn,” and the “suffering of the saints.” [1] Daniel makes a point of telling us in chapter 9 that this Gabriel who appeared to Daniel in chapter 9 was the very same person who appeared to him in chapter 8 (see 9:21).

  18. in chapter 8, he could not understand it. Gabriel was instructed to explain the vision to Daniel, but even after he had done so, the vision was still a mystery to him. The closing words of chapter 8 underscore this: • Then I, Daniel, was exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up again and carried on the king’s business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was none to explain it (Daniel 8:27). • When Gabriel appears in chapter 9, it is a 12 years later. During his second appearance, Gabriel did not come as a part of any vision. He informed Daniel that he had been instructed to come to give him “insight with understanding” (9:22), so that he could “gain understanding of the vision” (9:23).

  19. Let us now tackle the key to all prophecy - Daniel’s 70 7’s! • THE STARTING POINT OF THE SEVENTY SEVENS • The starting point of the seventy sevens is given in the first phrase of verse 25: ‘know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem.’

  20. Daniel 9 • 9:24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy...

  21. Daniel 9 • 25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’”

  22. Daniel 9 • 25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’

  23. Daniel 9 • 25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’

  24. Daniel 9 • 25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’
