Through the Bible | Daniel 12

November 3, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 12

As we wrap up our study in Daniel 12, we see a final recap of what will happen during the Tribulation, how it affects the Jews, and what it means for us. As we conclude, we gain more insight into the Last Days and are charged to live like Daniel in these troubling times.

Shining Like Stars

October 31, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 12:3

Tucked away in an End Times prophecy in Daniel 12:3 is a little exhortation for us to shine like bright lights during dark days. And the Word gives us plenty of reasons why we should strive to illuminate the darkness and be all about pointing people to Jesus Christ.

Through the Bible | Daniel 11:1-35

October 27, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 11:1–35

Daniel receives a detailed prophecy, but he can’t make much sense of what he is told and how it will play out during future events. But as we study Daniel 11:1:35 with the benefit of hindsight, we see some of history’s most infamous characters, such as Alexander the Great and Cleopatra, and events come together to help us unlock the future by understanding the past.

Who is the Antichrist?

October 24, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 11:36–45

One of the prophetic details about the last days that we see in Daniel 11:36-38 gives us information about a coming world leader commonly called the Antichrist. So just who is the Antichrist? Why is it important that we know what he will be like? And what will become of him in the end?

Through the Bible | Daniel 10

October 20, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 10

As Daniel fasts and fervently prays for his people in Daniel 10, another powerful prophecy is about to come to him. And the things that happen before it is even revealed are astounding enough. As we study who Daniel sees and what he learns about God’s delays, spiritual warfare and what will happen to the Jews in the End Times, we see how all these things impact our lives as well.

Daniel's 70 Weeks

October 17, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 9:20–27

While the meaning behind the prophecy commonly known as “The 70 Weeks of Daniel” was a complete, undecipherable mystery to Daniel at the time, we have the historical and biblical keys to help us break the code and interpret its meaning. As we examine timelines and do the math behind Daniel 9:20-27, we see an incredible prophetic picture develop before our eyes.

Through the Bible | Daniel 9:1-24

October 13, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 9:1–24

In one of the most powerful, poetic, and heartfelt prayers in the Bible, Daniel gives us a beautiful model to follow when we come before the Lord to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help and mercy. As we break down his prayer in Daniel 9:1-24, we not only learn the posture of prayer but why we can approach God in this manner and what blessings we can expect when we do so.

It’s All Him

October 10, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 9:18

Daniel offers a prayer in Daniel 9:18 asking for God’s help while acknowledging that the answer is not dependent on any of his actions, but God alone. In fact, as we study, we learn that when it comes to God’s work in our lives, none of it is dependent upon us but all upon God’s mercy and grace.

Through the Bible | Daniel 8

October 6, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 8

Daniel experiences another disturbing dream in Daniel 8 that perplexes him even after an angel explains it. As we break down this dream, we see how it was fulfilled perfectly in Alexander the Great and the aftermath of his death, and how it still will be fulfilled in the future with the coming of the Antichrist.

Jesus the Greatest

October 3, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 8:1–8

As one of the most notable and notorious figures in history, Alexander the Great did amazing things, conquered many nations, and was even foretold of in Daniel 8:1-8. As we investigate the life of Alexander the Great, we see that no matter how “great” he may have been, he is nothing compared to Jesus Christ.

Through the Bible | Daniel 7

September 29, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 7

After a terrifying vision of four beasts, Daniel is not only left aghast but utterly clueless about its meaning. But luckily for us, we have the hindsight of history and supplemental information from other biblical prophecies to help us unlock the meaning and prophetic implications of the beasts in Daniel 7.

Another Perspective

September 26, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 7:3–8

One of Satan’s greatest tricks is carefully packaging his propaganda to appear harmless and even good, but we eventually find out what he is really selling. Daniel 7:3-8 gives us a demonstration of how things appear one way at first but later become altogether horrifyingly evil. As we study, we learn to identify these deceptive lies and what we can do to guard against being sucked into believing them.

Through the Bible | Daniel 6

September 22, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 6

The story of “Daniel in the Lions’ Den” in Daniel 6 is one of the most famous and beloved accounts in the Bible – and for good reasons. As Daniel holds fast to his faith as he faces being torn to bits by hungry lions, he demonstrates how to trust God for deliverance, shows His mercy and grace to others, and even gives us a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ.

As He Did Before

September 19, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 6:10

When a mandate comes down that goes against Daniel’s long-established prayer habit, he is faced with a decision to give in or continue and face the consequences. As we see what he chooses to do in Daniel 6:10, we find a model of prayer to follow and advice on how we can biblically navigate issues in our own day.

Through the Bible | Daniel 5

September 15, 2021 • Brett Meador • Daniel 5

Even though he knows about God and the prophecy from Daniel about Babylon’s faith, King Belshazzar is in denial to the point of rebellion in Daniel 5. But even though he denies it, the writing is already on the wall and his fate has been sealed, showing us that whether we like it or not, God’s plan and power won’t be stopped.
