  • Daniel 11:1-45
    Sep 25 2022
    Introduction


    The final vision (10:1-12:13)


    Prediction of the time readers live through

    four centuries

    • Persia then Greece (11:2-4)
    • kings of the south and kings of the north (11:5-20)
    • a contemptible person (11:21-35) and the rest

    Four implications

    expect victors to be defeated (11:4,6,9,12,14,16,17,18,19,20,25,27,29,45)

    expect God’s people to be victims of defeat and frustration (11:14,16,22,30-35,41)

    recognise our God’s control of everything (11:2 cf. 10:21 and 11:24,27,29,35,36,40)

    let what God reveals define folly and wisdom (11:14,30-35)
