Our loving Heavenly Father, as we look at the world, everything appears to be spinning out of control.

But we know that you're seated on your throne in heaven, Beyond the noise and the hustle and bustle of earth, nothing escapes your attention.

You have everything under perfect control.

We thank you that we can trust you as such a wonderful God.

And As we study the second part of the prophecy of Daniel 8, we plead for the help of your Holy Spirit.

Help us, Lord, to understand, not only intellectually, but also experientially.

And we thank you for hearing our prayer for we ask it in Jesus name amen.

The first thing that we want to do in our study today is review what we studied last time.

Last time we were discussing Daniel chapter 8 And I'm going to go through this rather quickly because we have a lot of material to cover in our lecture today.

You remember that in Daniel chapter 8, the vision begins with a ram.

And then after the ram, we find that, well, in connection with the ram rather, we have 2 what?

They represent the fact that it's a dual kingdom, and Persia was the predominant kingdom that rose to power last as we studied.

It represents the kingdom of Greece and he goat has a notable horn between its eyes.

The notable horn represents the first king, and the first king was whom?

And then when the kingdom was strong, the great horn was broken.

And how many horns came out in its place?

4 horns came out in its place and those 4 horns represent the 4 divisions of what?

And then from 1 of the horns at the 4 winds, a little horn rises.

And we notice that it rises from Pergamum in Asia Minor.

And then this little horn first of all conquers how?

But then this little horn has a second stage.

Now its fight is not against any kingdom on earth, its fight is against whom?

And we notice that this little horn attacked the host which represents God's people and we notice that he also attacked the prince of the host and who is the prince of the host the prince of the host is Jesus Christ and he took away what the daily from Christ which which means the work of Jesus in the court and in the holy place of the sanctuary And then we noticed in Daniel 8 that the video goes blank.

And there's a conversation between 2 heavenly beings.

And 1 heavenly being asked the other, until when will this vision last?

It's the vision of the ram, the goat, and the 2 stages of the little horn.

Until when or how long will this vision last?

And The other 1 says to this being, unto 2, 300 days and the sanctuary shall be what?

And then we noticed that Gabriel went on to explain the meaning of the Shazam, of the vision.

Did he explain what the 2 horns represent?

Did he explain what the flying he goat represents?

Did he explain what the 4 horns are in the second half of the chapter?

Did he explain the horizontal conquest of the little horn?

Did he explain the vertical attack of the little horn upon God?

But the interesting thing is that when Gabriel got to the part that had to do with the 2300 days or the appearance of the 2 beings that were talking in heaven, he had to suspend the explanation of the vision.

He did not finish the explanation of the vision.

And so we notice that God tells Gabriel, Gabriel explain the moray, which is the other word for vision.

The first word is the 1 that's used at the beginning of the chapter, explain the moray which is the appearance of the 2 beings, and Gabriel could not do it because he, Daniel according to scripture, got sick.

Let's read that in Daniel chapter 8 and verse 27.

Daniel chapter 8 and verse 27 tells us that Daniel did not understand the moray.

Now he understood the shazon which is the total vision because Gabriel explained it but the portion that he did not understand was the other word for vision that is used in the middle of chapter 8 notice what it says in Daniel 8 verse 27 and I Daniel fainted and was sick for days afterward I arose and went about the king's business.

The word vision there is not the Shazon, it's not what Gabriel had explained, it's the word mare.

In other words, Daniel could not understand the conversation of these 2 beings concerning the time period the 2300 days and so it says I was astonished by the vision by the Marais but no 1 what understood it.

So which portion of the vision did Daniel not understand he understood the shahzone the whole vision that includes the ram the he goat the horns the little horn and it's 2 stages etc But he did not understand the moray.

Now let's give a little bit of historical background.

If you remember, Daniel chapter 8 is taking place in the year 550 BC and we're told there in Daniel chapter 8 that after 2, 300 days the sanctuary would be cleansed but we have a problem in Daniel chapter 8.

Is there any beginning date for the 2300 days?

Is there anything in Daniel 8 that says when the 2300 days were going to begin?

So would it be important to know when the 2300 days are going to begin so that we could know when the 2300 days are going to end.

Absolutely but in Daniel 8 you don't have an explanation of the 2300 days they're brought to view but you don't have an explanation and you have absolutely no beginning date.

Now the question is where would you expect to find the explanation of the beginning date of the prophecy of the 2300 days?

The next chapter would be a very good place to look.

Remember that before Christ we go down right?

Daniel chapter 9 is taking place in 538 BC.

Now Daniel knew that there was a prophecy that God had given that the captivity of Israel in Babylon was going to last 70 years.

In fact, let's read that prophecy as we find it in 2nd Chronicles 36 and verses 15 through 21.

And I'm going to read also the events that led up to the captivity of Israel.

And this is a long passage, but I'm going to read it because it's important.

It says here, and the Lord God of their fathers, that is of Israel, sent warnings to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending them because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people till there was no remedy.

Therefore he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans who was Nebuchadnezzar, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak.

He gave them all into his hand, and all the articles from the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon.

Then they burned the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious possessions.

Verse 20, and those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon where they became servants to him and his sons until when until the rule of the kingdom of Persia now notice to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths.

As long as she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath to fulfill.
