Four Beasts One Lord (Daniel 7:1-28)

Daniel is terrorized by his vision of four ugly beasts. These are strange looking creatures, hybrids of mighty animals, and what man can defeat them? This question is especially relevant for the fourth beast. The last beast is essentially unstoppable leaving Daniel in a state of panic. How can man prevail against such a devious creature? What is our hope today? What do we take away from his vision that gives us hope to continue through today?

Seventy Weeks (Daniel 9)

Daniel is in exile and desires to return to the Lord.  He is at the timing for the fulfillment of Jeremiah's 70 year prophecy.  While he is praying he receives a vision from Gabriel regarding 70 weeks.  Do we take these weeks literally or do the weeks communicate a bigger picture?
