Hello, and welcome
to "His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.31\00:00:17.79
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:17.80\00:00:19.45
we'll be reading
together in the Book of Daniel.
00:00:19.46\00:00:22.10
But let's pray together first.
00:00:22.11\00:00:24.42
Dear heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.43\00:00:26.65
for this
opportunity to hear Your words.
00:00:26.66\00:00:30.13
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to bring understanding
00:00:30.14\00:00:33.30
and bare fruit in our
lives to Your glory. Amen.
00:00:33.31\00:00:38.50
We are reading
in Daniel, Chapter 9
00:00:38.51\00:00:42.31
and Daniel is
making a confession to God.
00:00:42.32\00:00:45.33
Picking up in verse 5,
00:00:45.34\00:00:46.57
this is the King James Version.
00:00:46.58\00:00:49.22
We have sinned, and
have committed iniquity,
00:00:49.23\00:00:52.50
and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled,
00:00:52.51\00:00:55.64
even by
departing from thy precepts
00:00:55.65\00:00:58.94
and from thy judgments,
00:00:58.95\00:01:01.29
Neither have we hearkened
unto thy servants the prophets,
00:01:01.30\00:01:04.12
which spake in
thy name to our kings,
00:01:04.13\00:01:06.77
our princes, and our fathers,
00:01:06.78\00:01:08.62
and to all the
people of the land.
00:01:08.63\00:01:11.40
O Lord, righteousness
belongeth unto thee,
00:01:11.41\00:01:15.78
but unto us confusion of faces,
00:01:15.79\00:01:19.24
as at this day,
to the men of Judah,
00:01:19.25\00:01:22.84
and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem,
00:01:22.85\00:01:24.41
and unto all
Israel, that are near,
00:01:24.42\00:01:26.31
and that are far off,
through all the countries
00:01:26.32\00:01:28.98
whither thou hast driven them,
00:01:28.99\00:01:30.48
because of their trespass
00:01:30.49\00:01:32.29
that they have
trespassed against thee.
00:01:32.30\00:01:35.13
O Lord, to us
belongeth confusion of face,
00:01:35.14\00:01:38.90
to our kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers,
00:01:38.91\00:01:42.44
because we have
sinned against thee.
00:01:42.45\00:01:45.70
To the Lord our God
belong mercies and forgiveness,
00:01:45.71\00:01:49.43
though we have
rebelled against him,
00:01:49.44\00:01:52.22
Neither have we obeyed the voice
00:01:52.23\00:01:53.87
of the Lord our
God, to walk in his laws,
00:01:53.88\00:01:56.64
which he set before us by
his servants the prophets.
00:01:56.65\00:02:01.00
Yea, all Israel have
transgressed thy law,
00:02:01.01\00:02:04.73
even by departing, that
they might not obey thy voice,
00:02:04.74\00:02:09.76
therefore the
curse is poured upon us,
00:02:09.77\00:02:12.60
and the oath that is
written in the law of Moses
00:02:12.61\00:02:15.20
the servant of God,
00:02:15.21\00:02:17.01
because we have
sinned against him.
00:02:17.02\00:02:19.50
And he hath confirmed his words,
00:02:19.51\00:02:21.49
which he spake against us,
00:02:21.50\00:02:22.85
and against our
judges that judged us,
00:02:22.86\00:02:24.80
by bringing
upon us a great evil,
00:02:24.81\00:02:27.69
for under the whole
heaven hath not been done
00:02:27.70\00:02:31.17
as hath been
done upon Jerusalem.
00:02:31.18\00:02:34.37
As it is written
in the law of Moses,
00:02:34.38\00:02:37.38
all this evil is come upon us,
00:02:37.39\00:02:40.87
yet made we not our
prayer before the Lord our God,
00:02:40.88\00:02:44.78
that we might turn
from our iniquities,
00:02:44.79\00:02:46.75
and understand thy truth.
00:02:46.76\00:02:49.17
Therefore hath the
Lord watched upon the evil,
00:02:49.18\00:02:52.17
and brought it upon us,
00:02:52.18\00:02:54.24
for the Lord
our God is righteous
00:02:54.25\00:02:55.90
in all his works which he doeth,
00:02:55.91\00:02:59.04
for we obeyed not his voice.
00:02:59.05\00:03:02.13
And now, O Lord our God,
00:03:02.14\00:03:04.75
that hast brought thy people
00:03:04.76\00:03:06.17
forth out of the land of
Egypt with a mighty hand,
00:03:06.18\00:03:09.84
and hast gotten thee renown,
00:03:09.85\00:03:12.32
as at this day, we have sinned,
00:03:12.33\00:03:15.98
we have done wickedly.
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.39
O Lord, according to
all thy righteousness,
00:03:18.40\00:03:21.91
I beseech thee, let thine anger
00:03:21.92\00:03:24.40
and thy fury be turned
away from thy city Jerusalem,
00:03:24.41\00:03:28.68
thy holy mountain,
because for our sins,
00:03:28.69\00:03:32.42
and for the
iniquities of our fathers,
00:03:32.43\00:03:34.01
Jerusalem and thy people
00:03:34.02\00:03:35.68
are become a reproach
to all that are about us.
00:03:35.69\00:03:40.21
Now therefore, O our God,
00:03:40.22\00:03:43.70
hear the prayer of thy servant,
00:03:43.71\00:03:45.75
and his supplications,
and cause thy face to shine
00:03:45.76\00:03:50.03
upon thy
sanctuary that is desolate,
00:03:50.04\00:03:52.54
for the Lord's sake.
00:03:52.55\00:03:54.73
O my God, incline thine ear,
00:03:54.74\00:03:57.58
and hear, open thine eyes,
00:03:57.59\00:04:00.19
and behold our desolations,
00:04:00.20\00:04:01.77
and the city which
is called by thy name,
00:04:01.78\00:04:05.69
for we do not
present our supplications
00:04:05.70\00:04:08.00
before thee for
our righteousnesses,
00:04:08.01\00:04:10.87
but for thy great mercies.
00:04:10.88\00:04:13.90
O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive,
00:04:13.91\00:04:19.00
O Lord, hearken and do,
00:04:19.01\00:04:22.03
defer not, for thine own sake,
00:04:22.04\00:04:25.06
O my God, for thy city
00:04:25.07\00:04:28.21
and thy people are
called by thy name.
00:04:28.22\00:04:33.09
And while I was speaking,
00:04:33.10\00:04:35.02
and praying, and
confessing my sin
00:04:35.03\00:04:38.00
and the sin of my people Israel,
00:04:38.01\00:04:40.48
and presenting my supplication
00:04:40.49\00:04:42.62
before the Lord my God
00:04:42.63\00:04:44.21
for the holy mountain of my God,
00:04:44.22\00:04:46.58
Yea, while I was
speaking in prayer,
00:04:46.59\00:04:50.46
even the man Gabriel,
00:04:50.47\00:04:52.20
whom I had seen in the
vision at the beginning,
00:04:52.21\00:04:55.02
being caused to fly swiftly,
00:04:55.03\00:04:57.47
touched me about the
time of the evening oblation.
00:04:57.48\00:05:02.54
And he informed
me, and talked with me,
00:05:02.55\00:05:04.55
and said, O Daniel,
00:05:04.56\00:05:07.12
I am now come forth
00:05:07.13\00:05:08.60
to give thee
skill and understanding.
00:05:08.61\00:05:12.37
At the beginning
of thy supplications
00:05:12.38\00:05:14.48
the commandment came forth,
00:05:14.49\00:05:16.68
and I am come to show thee,
00:05:16.69\00:05:18.78
for thou art greatly beloved,
00:05:18.79\00:05:21.67
therefore understand the matter,
00:05:21.68\00:05:23.89
and consider the vision.
00:05:23.90\00:05:26.07
Seventy weeks are
determined upon thy people
00:05:26.08\00:05:28.68
and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression,
00:05:28.69\00:05:31.75
and to make an end of sins,
00:05:31.76\00:05:33.86
and to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:05:33.87\00:05:36.06
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:05:36.07\00:05:39.00
and to seal up the
vision and prophecy,
00:05:39.01\00:05:41.49
and to anoint the Most Holy.
00:05:41.50\00:05:44.46
Know therefore and understand,
00:05:44.47\00:05:47.75
that from the going
forth of the commandment
00:05:47.76\00:05:50.24
to restore and
to build Jerusalem,
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.70
unto the Messiah the
Prince, shall be seven weeks,
00:05:52.71\00:05:56.83
and threescore and two weeks,
00:05:56.84\00:05:59.99
the street shall be built again,
00:06:00.00\00:06:02.16
and the wall, even
in troublous times.
00:06:02.17\00:06:06.24
And after
threescore and two weeks
00:06:06.25\00:06:08.16
shall Messiah be cut
off, but not for himself,
00:06:08.17\00:06:12.40
and the people of the prince
00:06:12.41\00:06:13.85
that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary,
00:06:13.86\00:06:18.78
and the end thereof
shall be with a flood,
00:06:18.79\00:06:20.77
and unto the end of the
war desolations are determined.
00:06:20.78\00:06:24.53
And he shall confirm
the covenant with many
00:06:24.54\00:06:27.30
for one week, and in
the midst of the week
00:06:27.31\00:06:30.04
he shall cause the sacrifice
and the oblation to cease,
00:06:30.05\00:06:34.59
and for the
overspreading of abominations
00:06:34.60\00:06:36.84
he shall make it desolate,
00:06:36.85\00:06:38.67
even until the consummation,
00:06:38.68\00:06:41.31
and that determined shall
be poured upon the desolate.
00:06:41.32\00:06:46.55
Continuing with
Daniel, Chapter 10.
00:06:46.56\00:06:49.61
This is the King James Version.
00:06:49.62\00:06:52.96
In the third year
of Cyrus king of Persia
00:06:52.97\00:06:56.64
a thing was
revealed unto Daniel,
00:06:56.65\00:06:58.76
whose name was
called Belteshaz'zar,
00:06:58.77\00:07:01.90
and the thing was true,
00:07:01.91\00:07:03.92
but the time appointed was long,
00:07:03.93\00:07:06.41
and he understood the thing,
00:07:06.42\00:07:08.46
and had
understanding of the vision.
00:07:08.47\00:07:11.66
In those days I Daniel
was mourning three full weeks.
00:07:11.67\00:07:17.35
I ate no pleasant bread,
00:07:17.36\00:07:19.83
neither came flesh
nor wine in my mouth,
00:07:19.84\00:07:23.83
neither did I
anoint myself at all,
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.01
till three whole
weeks were fulfilled.
00:07:26.02\00:07:29.40
And in the four and twentieth
day of the first month,
00:07:29.41\00:07:33.19
as I was by the
side of the great river,
00:07:33.20\00:07:36.61
which is Hid'dekel,
00:07:36.62\00:07:39.61
Then I lifted up mine eyes,
00:07:39.62\00:07:41.68
and looked, and behold
00:07:41.69\00:07:44.05
a certain man clothed in linen,
00:07:44.06\00:07:47.12
whose loins were girded
with fine gold of Uphaz,
00:07:47.13\00:07:51.40
His body also
was like the beryl,
00:07:51.41\00:07:53.91
and his face as the
appearance of lightning,
00:07:53.92\00:07:56.71
and his eyes as lamps of fire,
00:07:56.72\00:07:59.45
and his arms and his feet
00:07:59.46\00:08:01.75
like in color to polished brass,
00:08:01.76\00:08:05.21
and the voice of his words
like the voice of a multitude.
00:08:05.22\00:08:08.90
And I Daniel
alone saw the vision,
00:08:08.91\00:08:12.65
for the men that were
with me saw not the vision,
00:08:12.66\00:08:16.31
but a great
quaking fell upon them,
00:08:16.32\00:08:19.61
so that they fled
to hide themselves.
00:08:19.62\00:08:22.91
Therefore I was left alone,
and saw this great vision,
00:08:22.92\00:08:26.06
and there
remained no strength in me,
00:08:26.07\00:08:29.48
for my comeliness was
turned in me into corruption,
00:08:29.49\00:08:33.08
and I retained no strength.
00:08:33.09\00:08:36.09
Yet heard I the
voice of his words,
00:08:36.10\00:08:38.75
and when I heard
the voice of his words,
00:08:38.76\00:08:41.58
then was I in a
deep sleep on my face,
00:08:41.59\00:08:45.46
and my face toward the ground.
00:08:45.47\00:08:47.98
And, behold, a hand touched me,
00:08:47.99\00:08:50.90
which set me upon my knees
00:08:50.91\00:08:53.20
and upon the palms of my hands.
00:08:53.21\00:08:56.10
And he said unto me, O Daniel,
00:08:56.11\00:08:59.48
a man greatly beloved,
00:08:59.49\00:09:02.56
understand the words
that I speak unto thee,
00:09:02.57\00:09:05.60
and stand upright,
00:09:05.61\00:09:07.91
for unto thee am I now sent.
00:09:07.92\00:09:11.77
And when he had
spoken this word unto me,
00:09:11.78\00:09:13.75
I stood trembling.
00:09:13.76\00:09:16.31
Then said he unto me,
00:09:16.32\00:09:17.75
Fear not, Daniel,
00:09:17.76\00:09:19.83
for from the first
day that thou didst set
00:09:19.84\00:09:23.32
thine heart to understand,
00:09:23.33\00:09:25.75
and to chasten
thyself before thy God,
00:09:25.76\00:09:29.01
thy words were heard,
and I am come for thy words.
00:09:29.02\00:09:33.96
But the prince of the kingdom
00:09:33.97\00:09:35.42
of Persia withstood
me one and twenty days,
00:09:35.43\00:09:39.06
but, lo, Michael,
one of the chief princes,
00:09:39.07\00:09:41.83
came to help me,
00:09:41.84\00:09:43.38
and I remained there
with the kings of Persia.
00:09:43.39\00:09:46.04
Now I am come to
make thee understand
00:09:46.05\00:09:48.95
what shall befall thy
people in the latter days,
00:09:48.96\00:09:52.64
for yet the
vision is for many days.
00:09:52.65\00:09:57.15
And when he had
spoken such words unto me,
00:09:57.16\00:09:59.91
I set my face toward the ground,
00:09:59.92\00:10:02.35
and I became dumb.
00:10:02.36\00:10:04.22
And, behold, one
like the similitude
00:10:04.23\00:10:06.90
of the sons of
men touched my lips,
00:10:06.91\00:10:10.25
then I opened my
mouth, and spake,
00:10:10.26\00:10:13.50
and said unto him
that stood before me,
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.80
O my lord, by the vision
my sorrows are turned upon me,
00:10:15.81\00:10:21.79
and I have retained no strength.
00:10:21.80\00:10:23.76
For how can the
servant of this my lord
00:10:23.77\00:10:27.12
talk with this my lord?
00:10:27.13\00:10:29.35
For as for me, straightway
00:10:29.36\00:10:31.94
there remained
no strength in me,
00:10:31.95\00:10:33.35
neither is there
breath left in me.
00:10:33.36\00:10:36.45
Then there came
again and touched me
00:10:36.46\00:10:38.31
one like the
appearance of a man,
00:10:38.32\00:10:40.93
and he
strengthened me, And said,
00:10:40.94\00:10:43.98
O man greatly beloved, fear not,
00:10:43.99\00:10:48.42
peace be unto thee,
00:10:48.43\00:10:50.47
be strong, yea, be strong.
00:10:50.48\00:10:54.80
And when he had spoken unto me,
00:10:54.81\00:10:56.13
I was strengthened, and said,
00:10:56.14\00:10:58.99
Let my lord speak, for
thou hast strengthened me.
00:10:59.00\00:11:02.97
Then said he, Knowest thou
00:11:02.98\00:11:05.76
wherefore I come unto thee?
00:11:05.77\00:11:08.22
and now will I return to
fight with the prince of Persia,
00:11:08.23\00:11:10.61
and when I am gone forth, lo,
00:11:10.62\00:11:12.83
the prince of
Gre'cia shall come.
00:11:12.84\00:11:15.73
But I will show thee
00:11:15.74\00:11:16.97
that which is noted in
the Scripture of truth,
00:11:16.98\00:11:19.90
and there is none that
holdeth with me in these things,
00:11:19.91\00:11:22.84
but Michael your prince.
00:11:22.85\00:11:26.00
Continuing in
Daniel, Chapter 11.
00:11:26.01\00:11:27.95
And this is the
King James Version.
00:11:27.96\00:11:31.45
Also I in the first
year of Dari'us the Mede,
00:11:31.46\00:11:35.92
even I, stood to
confirm and to strengthen him.
00:11:35.93\00:11:40.87
And now will I
show thee the truth.
00:11:40.88\00:11:43.41
Behold, there shall stand
up yet three kings in Persia,
00:11:43.42\00:11:47.91
and the fourth shall be
far richer than they are,
00:11:47.92\00:11:51.39
and by his
strength through his riches
00:11:51.40\00:11:54.14
he shall stir up all
against the realm of Gre'cia.
00:11:54.15\00:11:58.62
And a mighty
king shall stand up,
00:11:58.63\00:12:00.00
that shall rule
with great dominion,
00:12:00.01\00:12:01.91
and do according to his will.
00:12:01.92\00:12:03.98
And when he shall stand up,
00:12:03.99\00:12:05.37
his kingdom shall be broken,
00:12:05.38\00:12:07.37
and shall be divided
toward the four winds of heaven,
00:12:07.38\00:12:10.32
and not to his posterity,
00:12:10.33\00:12:11.87
nor according to his
dominion which he ruled,
00:12:11.88\00:12:14.24
for his kingdom
shall be plucked up,
00:12:14.25\00:12:16.41
even for others besides those.
00:12:16.42\00:12:19.81
And the king of the
south shall be strong,
00:12:19.82\00:12:21.50
and one of his
princes, and he shall be strong
00:12:21.51\00:12:23.33
above him, and have dominion,
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.35
his dominion shall
be a great dominion.
00:12:25.36\00:12:28.86
And in the end of years
00:12:28.87\00:12:30.26
they shall join
themselves together,
00:12:30.27\00:12:32.30
for the king's
daughter of the south shall come
00:12:32.31\00:12:35.03
to the king of the
north to make an agreement,
00:12:35.04\00:12:38.30
but she shall not
retain the power of the arm,
00:12:38.31\00:12:41.10
neither shall he
stand, nor his arm,
00:12:41.11\00:12:44.33
but she shall be given
up, and they that brought her,
00:12:44.34\00:12:47.24
and he that begat her,
00:12:47.25\00:12:48.58
and he that
strengthened her in these times.
00:12:48.59\00:12:52.34
But out of a branch of her roots
00:12:52.35\00:12:54.53
shall one stand
up in his estate,
00:12:54.54\00:12:56.81
which shall come with an army,
00:12:56.82\00:12:58.24
and shall enter
into the fortress
00:12:58.25\00:12:59.88
of the king of the north,
and shall deal against them,
00:12:59.89\00:13:02.78
and shall prevail,
00:13:02.79\00:13:04.89
And shall also carry
captives into Egypt their gods,
00:13:04.92\00:13:07.82
with their princes,
and with their precious
00:13:07.83\00:13:09.66
vessels of silver and of gold,
00:13:09.67\00:13:11.50
and he shall continue more years
00:13:11.51\00:13:13.59
than the king of the north.
00:13:13.60\00:13:15.53
So the king of the south
shall come into his kingdom,
00:13:15.54\00:13:17.72
and shall return
into his own land.
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.91
But his sons
shall be stirred up,
00:13:19.92\00:13:22.14
and shall assemble a
multitude of great forces,
00:13:22.15\00:13:24.63
and one shall
certainly come, and overflow,
00:13:24.64\00:13:27.37
and pass through,
then shall he return,
00:13:27.38\00:13:29.88
and be stirred up,
even to his fortress.
00:13:29.89\00:13:33.12
And the king of the south
shall be moved with choler,
00:13:33.13\00:13:36.47
and shall come
forth and fight with him,
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.32
even with the king of the north,
00:13:38.33\00:13:39.99
and he shall set
forth a great multitude,
00:13:40.00\00:13:42.67
but the multitude
shall be given into his hand.
00:13:42.68\00:13:45.52
And when he hath
taken away the multitude,
00:13:45.53\00:13:47.29
his heart shall be lifted up,
00:13:47.30\00:13:48.49
and he shall cast
down many ten thousands,
00:13:48.50\00:13:51.54
but he shall not
be strengthened by it.
00:13:51.55\00:13:54.13
For the king of
the north shall return,
00:13:54.14\00:13:55.73
and shall set forth a multitude
greater than the former,
00:13:55.74\00:13:58.80
and shall certainly
come after certain years
00:13:58.81\00:14:01.40
with a great army
and with much riches.
00:14:01.41\00:14:04.55
And in those times
there shall many stand up
00:14:04.56\00:14:07.59
against the king of the south,
00:14:07.60\00:14:09.83
also the robbers of thy people
00:14:09.84\00:14:12.10
shall exalt themselves
to establish the vision,
00:14:12.11\00:14:15.47
but they shall fall.
00:14:15.48\00:14:17.42
So the king of
the north shall come,
00:14:17.43\00:14:19.00
and cast up a mount,
00:14:19.01\00:14:20.52
and take the most fenced cities,
00:14:20.53\00:14:23.02
and the arms of the
south shall not withstand,
00:14:23.03\00:14:26.19
neither his chosen people,
00:14:26.20\00:14:27.75
neither shall there be
any strength to withstand.
00:14:27.76\00:14:31.14
But he that cometh against him
00:14:31.15\00:14:32.65
shall do
according to his own will,
00:14:32.66\00:14:34.94
and none shall stand before him.
00:14:34.95\00:14:38.26
