  4. Daniel 8 – Take away #1 All of this occurred “because of transgression”. Israel had still not learned her lesson. She is God’s chosen people, especially blessed, who had agreed to keep the Mosaic Covenant. For the Israel’s sake. For the world’s sake. For Christ’s sake, that matters.

  5. Daniel 8 – Take away #2 The certainty of Israel’s past leads to the certainty of her future. The Beast will come. Jesus Christ will also come. The Kingdom will come with Him. Israel will be redeemed. The Son of David will reign. The insanity of sin will be ended.

  6. Daniel 8 – Take away #2 Joy to the world!

  9. Daniel 8 – Take away #4 What happened Friday was horrible. We want our children safe. Yet we cling to our sins as though they are “harmless”. Sin is never safe! The severity of portions like Daniel 8 is meant to drive that point home.

  10. Daniel 8 – Take away #5 There is no book on earth like the Scriptures. ___________________________ Their ability to foretell the future is stunning. ___________________________ It is God’s word. ___________________________ And that should matter to our lives.

  11. Daniel 8 – Take away #5 The Judeo-Christian faith is true. There is no other God. The certainty of the prophecies of the past demand we pay attention to the prophecies of the future.
