Part 46 of the David Pawson 'Unlocking the Bible' Podcast series 


David Pawson unravels the second half of the book of Daniel as it is very difficult to understand. This section is primarily for God’s people, having been mostly written in Hebrew. This moves on from Daniel’s life in the present to extremely detailed predictions of the future, some far removed from his time. Chapters 7-12 are not continuous or consecutive, but are separate visions of the future. They vary in duration and some overlap. Altogether, they cover a vast amount of time. There were to be successive kingdoms of lessening power before the coming of the divine Kingdom heralded by Jesus Christ’s coming, but then this divine Kingdom would exist alongside human kingdoms until Jesus’ second coming. Daniel even revealed the length of time from his prediction about Jesus’ coming until it came to be. 135 major events were predicted in 35 verses. God knows the end from the beginning. No other book of the Bible contains such a concentration of predictions about the future. Daniel is both an encouragement and a warning for the future.
