Today's Reading
I noticed that the visions Daniel saw in Chapters 7 and 8 were during the reign of Belshazzar. He was the king who saw the finger write on the wall. Each of those were prophetic of things to come in the distant future. Scholars have matched these visions to events in history, proving their accuracy.
Chapter 9 begins with Daniel grieving for the judgment on Jerusalem. Even though he was exiled from their when he was very young, it was the city of his dreams. He was broken to hear of its fall. As he intercedes for Jerusalem, he is given the vision of 70 weeks, often dissected and very mysterious.
