Reading
SAA Notes
This is the second section of Daniel, dealing with his visions and dreams. Notice a similar vision of God as Ezekiel. Notice too that the Apostle John uses verses 9, 10 in Revelation 4. You will see other verses as well. Whose kingdom will last?
SJA Notes
* Mighty God, thank You for Your word to us. Please help us understand today.
“… And behold, with the clouds of heaven, there came one like a song of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.”
What a vision this is, Daniel sees Jesus!
Hundreds of years before our Saviour was born on earth, here He is!
The Son being presented to the Father.
In the new testament book of Revelation, we read of John’s vision (chapter 1),
“Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like the son of man, …”
Jesus called Himself the Son of Man.
THE Son of Man.
Jesus knew Daniel’s vision, and He spoke with John in a similar vision.
Jesus made and staked His claim as THE SON OF MAN.
We read on in Revelation,
“In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.”
Our King shines like the sun – HE IS LIGHT!
Our King, His weapon is the same as what is given to us.
God’s word. The two-edged sword, our offensive weapon in the armory of God.
Let us be people of His Word!
* Father God,
Please humble us today and onwards.
Please put within us and grow in us a desire for Your word.
That we might be a people of obedience to You, for You have saved us, and teach us how to live.
What else have we to do Lord?
Who else have we to go to, for You have the words of eternal life!
Amen.
