https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 81 DANIEL’S PRAYER AND PROPHECY - 3 Daniel 9:3-24 Okay, it is good once again to have you all back after another coffee break. For those you out in television, this is our third program this afternoon. Remember, we do four; and we would like to invite you from the Tulsa area to come in for the afternoon. It’s on a Wednesday afternoon, usually, that’s why we see mostly older folks. You know, that’s the big question that comes in, “Why don’t we see any young people?” Well, it’s a working day, and it’s not easy for young people to get off work and come in for something like this. But anyway, for those of you that are here, we always appreciate you coming in. And again, for those of you out in television, we just want to thank you over and over for your prayers and your financial help and your letters of encouragement. All right, we’ve only published one book over the years, and it’s been going out almost like tracts, because we send them out for $11.00 flat. We don’t charge any postage or handling. I had a fellow down in Louisiana a while back, and he said, “Les, I carry a stack of those books on my pickup seat, and if I talk to somebody that’s got any kind of spiritual interest, I just give them one of the books.” Well, we’ve got a lady in Indiana—how many has she given, Honey? Oh, sixty or seventy of them, at least. She just hands them out like tracts. It is an informative book that has 88 questions, and the answers have been taken from previous programs. Okay, we’re here for Bible study and we’re going to get right back where we left off in Daniel chapter 9; remembering, now, that Daniel is praying on behalf of the nation. They’ve already been uprooted from their homeland for well over seventy years, but it hasn’t had any spiritual affect, evidently; so he still prays. Then, you remember, in my last program I said just lay America side-by-side and we could be praying almost these same things on behalf of our nation as we see them go so deep into unbelief, which is always the basic problem. All right, let’s drop in where we left off, and that’s in Daniel chapter 9 verse 9. Daniel 9:9 “To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;” Now you want to remember, God is always ready and willing to forgive—whether it was Israel or whether it’s us nationally or individually. God is a God of forgiveness. All right, now verse 10: Daniel 9:10 “Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, (See how Jewish this is? This isn’t Grace. This is Law.) which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Daniel 9:11 “Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses (See how Jewish this is?) the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.” Daniel 9:12 “And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges (Wow. Where’s that put us? Where we are today. The same situation, it’s the higher echelons of those that are in authority over us.) our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.” Now don’t forget what’s he talking about? The Temple was destroyed. The whole city was destroyed, knocked down to nothing but rubble, and the people all taken into captivity four or five hundred miles to the northeast to what is present day Iraq. Then it went on up later on into what is present day Iran. That was their area of the captivity. All right, verse 13: Daniel 9:13 “As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.” Now even though we did it in the very first program this afternoon, for the sake of those who may not have heard these programs I’m going to take you back again for repetition’s sake to Leviticus 26—because I want people to understand why Daniel is, at 606 B.C., referring to the things that Moses wrote in1500 B.C., almost 800 or 900 years previously. Well, again, it just shows how providentially the Word of God has been brought together—that even Moses could warn of this Babylonian captivity. And it never hurts to repeat. My, I look at these things over and over and over, so I hope that you as my listeners can do the same thing. Leviticus 26 verse 32, and like I said last program, I’m getting old but I’m not senile. I know we did this in the first half hour, but we’re going to repeat it. Moses is writing in 1500 B.C. Leviticus 26:32-33a #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
