The Book of Daniel - Chapter 9 - The Seventy Weeks of Daniel by Shawn Ozbun

The Book of Daniel - Chapter 8 - Daniel's Vision of the Ram and the Goat by Shawn Ozbun

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Meads launches a new study in Daniel Chapter 1, exploring how God's people navigate life in exile when surrounded by world powers that oppose God. Using the story of Daniel and his three friends refusing to compromise their faith in Babylon, Pastor Chris demonstrates that believers can stand firm against cultural pressure because God remains sovereign over all earthly kingdoms. The sermon challenges Christians to resist accommodation with culture and boldly pursue Christ's mission, trusting in God's ultimate victory through Jesus.

In the third year of King Belshazzar, Daniel received a vision so staggering—it left him sick for days. Hidden for 2,500 years. Revealed for our time. Empires rise and fall—a ram, a goat, four kingdoms, and a little horn with world-shaking power. Gabriel appears. It's not just prophecy. It's your future.

Daniel Chapter four part 1

Daniel Chapter four part 1

Daniel Chapter 5 recounts the fall of King Belshazzar and Babylon, highlighted by a mysterious hand writing "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" on the wall during a feast. Daniel interprets this as a divine judgment, signaling the end of Belshazzar's reign, which occurs that very night when the Medes and Persians take over. The chapter is rich with themes of pride, judgment, and God's sovereignty, making it a popular subject for sermons, studies, and discussions.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

In this eye-opening episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff delves into the intricacies of the global reset, unravelling the widely misunderstood roles of key figures and global institutions in shaping the future. He begins by addressing the illusions surrounding energy efficiency and political leadership, specifically focusing on the complex involvement of Donald Trump within this evolving narrative. Drawing a historical parallel from the biblical projections in Daniel Chapter 2, Jeff explains the persistence of the Roman kingdom through today's leading powers, including the Vatican, the City of London, and the USA, setting the backdrop for an impending transition to a new world order. This episode provides deep insights into how world events are orchestrated to support the seemingly inevitable shift to an era filled with energy credits and advanced technologies. A pivotal clip featuring Elon Musk lays the groundwork for a broader discussion, presenting contrasting views on AI's role in society, where universal high income might replace traditional jobs, and how this could precipitate an existential crisis over human purpose and meaning. Jeff also exposes the strategies behind economic and territorial shifts towards a unified North America, thereby implying a similar pattern for other regions worldwide. He connects the dots by discussing historical and present-day examples of how these moves align with the longstanding plans for a technocratic society powered by AI. This episode not only informs but challenges listeners to reconsider what lies behind current socio-economic policies, highlighting the gradual erosion of societal fabric through managed decline in Western nations like Canada, the UK, and Australia. Furthermore, Jeff insightfully analyzes the implications of merging financial systems via digital currencies, drawing on contemporary examples of how these align with overarching agendas.

The Book of Daniel - Chapter 2 - Nebuchadnezzar's Dream & Genetic Modification In The Last Days by Shawn Ozbun

Daniel Chapter 3 part 2

We continue our project of reading ALL of God's word for our listeners. The book of Daniel is a favorite because of its amazing stories and prophetic visions, but it is also rich in detail and historical context. It opens circa 605 BC, timestamped as "the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah." Jehoiakim, born as Eliakim, was the second-born son of the great reformer Josiah, who died in a rash attempt to prevent Pharoah Neco from passing through his kingdom to attack the Assyrians. The people of Judah (apparently) bypassed Jehoiakim for his younger brother, Jehoahaz (Jehovah his sustainer), who reigned only three months, and then Pharaoh Neco took Jehoahaz captive to Egypt and placed Josiah's older brother, Eliakim (God will establish), on the throne, but renaming him Jehoiakim (Jehovah will establish). Jehoiakim would reign for eleven years. Confused? It only gets worse. But ... it is extremely important to "get" the historical details here if you want to understand the Bible as the historical book it claims to be. Life in this vale of tears is not neat, but it does follow interesting patterns at all levels of resolution. Two more kings of Judah will follow, Jehoiachin (son of Jehoiakim) and Zedekiah (born Mattaniah, the youngest son of Josiah, renamed by Nebuchadnezzar). Length of reigns? 3 months (Jehoiachin) and 11 years (Zedekiah). See the pattern? What does it mean? If you have ideas, please let us know! Jenny and I have learned that there are no mistakes or haphazard elements in God's word. Another interesting element of the timestamp is that the third year of Jehoiakim is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign over Bablyon. He was apparently attacking Egypt when his father, Nabopolassar, died. He probably stopped - on his way back to Babylon to be crowned king - to ravage Jerusalem and take Daniel and the other members of the royal family and nobility of Judah captive to Babylon. This means that Daniel and his friends were only in the second year of their three year course of studies to be "wise men" of the Chaldeans when they interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in chapter two! When we recognize this, these verses in chapter one takes on new meaning and significance: As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. Daniel 1:17–20 (ESV) God is indeed faithful to bless His people when they remain faithful to Him. "Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says YHWH of hosts." As usual, here is a good summary of the Book of Daniel that we highly recommend: https://youtu.be/9cSC9uobtPM?si=7DfciDVCCpbmkb62 May the Lord add richly to your knowledge of Him as you study!

This week we talk a bunch of nonsense because we're all tired from a long conference weekend, but, of course, we mostly talk about Daniel Chapter 4. Our main idea is humility; both personal and our role in respectfully helping others toward humility.

Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable; he was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, he rose to the second or third position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible other than Jesus Christ of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Without a clear understanding of the book of Daniel you will not understand the times in which we live. This study contains 16 hours of verse by verse teachings.

Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable; he was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, he rose to the second or third position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible other than Jesus Christ of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Without a clear understanding of the book of Daniel you will not understand the times in which we live. This study contains 16 hours of verse by verse teachings.
