Man, I'm so glad that God can take a frail instrument, touch his mouth, and let him speak.

I see insight into my own inadequacy and your inadequacy and how God can come at our point of

greatest weakness while we lie on the ground as dead men with a mouthful of dirt and he can lift

us on our feet and strengthen us to be used for his glory. Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson. Ever read a passage of scripture over and over again but you still

have a hard time figuring out what it was saying? Well today John MacArthur

will look at one of those challenging sections of God's word it's a portion of Daniel which at

first reading or even second or third can be a bit hard to grasp. This passage concerns

the future of Israel.

Then that's the title of John's study.

You know, the prophecies of Daniel don't only concern Israel's future.

They are also crucial for understanding your future and the future of the entire world.

So make sure you know what they mean and what they reveal about the hope that's yours if you're

a Christian.

With the message now here's John. We're going to see six points as

we flow through this chapter. Morning toward heaven, manifestation of heaven,

mastery by heaven, heaven,

messenger from heaven, mischief in heaven,

and message from heaven.

All of these elements tell us that heaven is come to earth. First of all, mourning toward heaven. Now let me

tell you something that kind of hard attitude and that kind of spirit gets a

response from God and that's what we find in the second point, manifestation of heaven. Now that

leads to a third point, what I call mastery by heaven.
