Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinania House and Koinania Institute.

Today's Bible teacher is Chuck Missler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.

In today's study, Chuck continues his teaching on the Book of Daniel, Chapter 9, verses 1 through 25.

Daniel chapter 9 verse 1.

In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahazarus, the seed of the meads, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

and he goes on. Now, these are titles. Some people believe that Darius was the uncle of Cyrus,

but that's conjectured by some of the scholars. He was made, it says, he was made king, implies a passive recipient in some kind, so that leads to other scholastic

speculations.

But the important part of this is setting aside the successions in the Persian Empire, it's

verse 2.

In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood by books the number of the years whereof the word of the Lord came to

Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

So Daniel, this whole thing starts because Daniel was reading his Bible.

And he was reading specifically in the book of Jeremiah.

Now the first thing that will leap out at you if you're a student of the Bible is that Daniel took Jeremiah literally.

When Jeremiah talks about 70 years captivity, it wasn't allegorical.

It wasn't about approximate. Daniel assumes it's precise.

In fact, he knows it's about over. He does something very interesting. You know, if somebody told you, if you read in the Bible and you somehow discovered that the Lord is coming back to the earth three weeks from now, what would you do?

Put your feet on desk, good, sooner the better!
