Daniel 11, Part 2

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

In our previous article, the first one in this series, we tackled some introductory aspects of Daniel 11. If you have not read that particular article, it is recommended you do so before reading this one. In it, we broached the subject of the higher critics and their concern that the book of Daniel was written by someone who only adopted the prophet’s name, but who lived well after the events recorded in the book. This, they say, is why the details seem to be so authentic, real, and accurate. We noted that this view undermines God’s sovereignty and power. In fact, the goal of so-called higher criticism is really to cast doubt on Scripture as being fully inspired and literally from the mind of God. As far as we’re concerned, that is the problem of the higher critic. They are welcome to their opinion. One can only imagine what they will feel and experience the day they stand before the Lord of Glory, God of the universe and hearing their thoughts, words, and arguments against God replayed before Him there. The smugness and arrogance of those who believe themselves to be the intellectual elite of this world will come crashing down around them. They will have no answer for their insignificance. We should certainly pray for these people, that God, in His mercy will open their eyes to the truth

As I began this series, I happened to take a look back into the history of articles I’ve written and lo and behold, apparently I completed a nineteen part series on Daniel Chapter 11! I’d completely forgotten about it, so in reality, it would be ridiculous to write another one since the first one already exists. I will likely take all of these individual parts and publish them in a book as well in the near future, but all chapters can be read here without having to buy the book.

Here is the first in that particular series, followed by individual links to the remaining parts:

Ultimately, the book of Daniel is simply one example proving God is sovereign. If God is truly God, then for Him to look into the future from any point in humanity’s history and reveal details of that future to people living in a previous time, that is proof enough that God is omniscient and all-powerful. Nothing can set aside His purposes.

At least 33% of the Bible deals with prophecy. It is where God looks ahead and reveals that information to people living in a time often long before those prophetic events. This is God. It is how He stoops to humanity to prove something He does not have to prove.

If Daniel 11 shows us anything, it shows us that God is intimately involved in humanity’s affairs is actively directs things to the climax of this age so that His purposes – all of them will be accomplished – while still allowing humanity to have some semblance of free will, in spite of the fall of man.

God is good. He is especially good when He chooses to reveal hidden things of the future to puny man. This He did in Daniel 11 as well as many other portions of the Scriptures. We have a choice. We can take God’s written Word as He meant us to understand it or we can try to make it fit to our preconceived beliefs. If we do the former, we will receive His blessing. To do the latter is to essentially call God a liar and that will only come back to ruin us.

What do you believe about God’s Word? Do you, like some, believe that it was written by “men” who ultimately decided what would be included in God’s Word, essentially leaving God out of the picture? Or, do you believe that God wrote a book, guiding the minds and hearts of roughly 40 human authors over the course of 1600 to 2000 years in order to tell us what He wanted us to know about Himself and His purposes?

We would do well to study His Word for ourselves, to seek His face as we do so, to endeavor through our submission to God to live holy lives before Him based on the truth found within His Word.

These are the only real two choices we have concerning God’s Word. Either the Bible is truth or it is fraudulent. Each person must decide. However, when we actually take the time to study His Word, we often find that the truth shines the light into our hearts so that where we were once blind, we now see.

Many atheists throughout history have come to the truth by endeavoring to prove that the Bible is fallacy. During the process they met the Author of that book and it changed their lives, providing them with eternal life.

Study His Word for all it’s worth. Study as though your life depends upon it. In the end, it actually does. The alternative is death…eternally. Don’t be fooled.
