Daniel

Sinclair 1991 (Paris)



Daniel:  27

Held in Babylonian captivity, couldn't stop Daniel's devotion to deity.  He is loyal to the Lord,
and can interpret dreams & visions that were truly adored.

Even by a King Nebuchandnezzar, who turned virtuous, after witnessing God deliver 3 men, from a fiery furnace.  

This was God's sovereignty on display, the power of what happens, when we bow down and pray.  

Daniel is thrown into a lion's den, because he prays to God in heaven. But, the Lord protects him time & time again.  

He emerges unharmed and standing tall, able to interpret the majestic writing on the wall.  
This gift of interpretation, led to his elevation, in a kingdom soon to shine, with the Son of God, who is magnificently divine.  

And although this Messiah will die for our sins, He will RISE UP and He promised, to be back again!  Then all of the Believers, who were scorned in strife, Will AWAKEN to everlasting life.  

Yes, those who fought a spiritual battle & were under attack, THIS TIME DEATH...cannot hold them back!
