Daniel 1-12

the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

“Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”

People are wholly unaware of their fragility before an awesome God. Jonathan Edwards described us as suspended over the pit of hell much as a child holds a spiders by one of it legs.

23 At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved

Although the prophecy regarding 70years then restoration had been given, it required intercession to see it fulfilled. We must bring His promises before God to see them realized on the earth.

the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

Intimacy before authority.

35 And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white

God does use suffering to perfect us. It is in His purpose.
