Looking for Daniel

[JLG]

- If there are different words as dream and vision are different, when we look at the context, we realize that both mix regularly so it is difficult to know what is what or who is who!



- Now there is another point to think about!



- It is the difference between what is from man and what is from God!



- When a man dreams, he usually can’t remember precisely what happened and he forgets because a dream doesn’t last long!



- Now the dreams in the book of Daniel are visions the king can perfectly remember and describe with details!



- Moreover, When God transmits the “dream” and its interpretation it is definitely a vision, Daniel is conscious!



- It is a transmission:

27) Looking for Daniel

Daniel 5

We are told about king Belshazzar who is having a great feast and he is drunk and he tells to bring the vessels taken by his father Nebuchadnezzar from the temple of Jerusalem. And they drink in it which is definitely an offense to God. Then a man’s hand begins writing on the plaster of the wall and everybody can see it. Then the king turns pale and his thoughts terrify him and his hips shake and his knees begin to knock together. The man who can make the interpretation of the words written on the wall will receive many gifts and will become the third figure of Babylon. But nobody can make the interpretation. So the king speaks about Daniel who is brought in before the king. Daniel will make the interpretation but he doesn’t care about the king’s gifts. He first speaks about his father who was warned by God and didn’t change of attitude. And it is the same with king Belshazzar. And they used the vessels from the temple of Jerusalem when it is sacred. As a consequence, Babylon will fall in the hands of the Medes and the Persians. And the very night of the feast Belshazzar is killed and Darius the Mede receives the kingdom when he is 62.

- Once again a good example we may try to remember as a warning!

- Those who don’t care about God will pay the price!

- Belshazzar didn’t listen and was killed!

- We may remember the meaning of Tekel, that is “you have been weighed in the balances and found lacking.”!

- It can’t be clearer even if human beings don’t want to listen!

- Thus everyone will be weigh in the balances!

- Let’s also remember how Daniel reacted!

- He didn’t care about privileges!

- He just wanted to serve God faithfully!

 

[JLG]

If people were the sheep of the hand of the Lord, to day they will hear HIs voice.

The sheep hear the vice of the Shepherd, calling His sheep and leading them out.

The Shepherd has sheep, who hear His voice, THEM HE MUST BRING ( they are HIs sheep) THEY SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE.

The sheep hear His voice, HE KNOWS THEM, THEY FOLLOW HIM.



f the hand of the Lord, to day they will hear HIs voice.

The sheep hear the vice of the Shepherd, calling His sheep and leading them out.

The Shepherd has sheep, who hear His voice, THEM HE MUST BRING ( they are HIs sheep) THEY SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE.

The sheep hear His voice, HE KNOWS THEM, THEY FOLLOW HIM.


Psalm 95:7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

 

[JLG]

If people were the sheep of the hand of the Lord, to day they will hear HIs voice.

 

[JLG]

- My answer:

- Yes, yes, yes but:

- Do you know what means PATIENCE FROM GOD!

- Do you know what means REPENTANCE FROM MAN!

- Have you read the whole Bible? If not you should!

- Think about Israel!

- God could have destroyed completely many times!

- But because of Moses, he didn’t do it!

- Then all the time they follow God for a while and then they practice spiritual prostitution!

- And again and again and again!

- Finally he rejected them!

 

[JLG]

- And it is the same with humanity!

[JLG]

Amazing JLG. Great work. Daniel is such an amazing man having lived an amazing life. What a testimony.

- My answer:

- Yes and think about his prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem despite the mountain of sins committed by the Jews and Israel!

- I can't take it away from my mind!

 

[JLG]

Stunning prophecy falling true with Israel and her people. A key trigger for events to move forward. The same fate has consumed(even obsessed) me. How exciting can it get. Mind blowing. Can it really be happening ?! How can the world not wake up to these revelations ?God certainly communicated thru Daniel. He led an amazing life. Thank you Lord for waking me up. Thanks for this fine outline JLG.

 

[JLG]

- My answer:

- Happy you like it !

- Yes to reach such a relationship to God is just incredible !

- Such as in the case of Job and Samuel and Moses and Abraham and others!

- Yes, the same happened to manking with the flood !

- And Israel got into trouble so many times before being rejected !

- And think that just before the second destruction of Jerusalem Jesus was sent to give a last opportunity to Israel !

- But the majority didn’t care !

- And the same will happen to humanity !

- And we must not only wake up but also keep staying awake to prepare for the coming cataclysm !

 

[JLG]

The impressive part is that such a 'tiny sun parched country' has reached such a high level of success, power and influence. As if God is mimicking his theme that the humble and meek and weak and sickly will inherit The Kingdom of God. Ever since 1948 superior forces(bullies) have fallen at Israel's door(s) with little effort, imagine the much larger future attacks on Israel failing. Israel even continues to befuddle and aggravate the UN at will right in front of the entire world. HEY PEOPLE, MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR VERY EYES ! Let those that have eyes see and those w....hear.

 

[JLG]

- Ok notice that Israel has been at war since its creation in 1948!

- If you take the book of Judges, when Israel used to follow God from time to time because of the savior sent by God, they would have peace for a while!

- Judges 2:18-22

- Along time ago somebody says he wanted to take the last train!

- The problem when you go sleeping is that it is difficult to wale up!

- And it is necessary to show our faithfulness!

- If we are not faithful to God, how can we be useful!

- A progression is also necessary and it requires time!

- the more the situation degrades, the more the time left is short!
