Daniel: The Last Days, Daniel 11:36-45, January 19, 2025

We continue our series in the Book of Daniel—Exiles in Babylon! This week pastor Glenn will take us into the conclusion of Chapter 11. These last 10 verses have been found hard to understand since they were recorded by Daniel. The primary challenge has been that they are obviously referring to a future time known as the last days, days that are yet to come. Join us as we learn about the man who is referred to as the Anti-Christ and his appearance in those last days before Christ returns. Read Daniel 11:36-45 in advance to prepare for the message.

Daniel: The Beginning of The End, Daniel 11:1-35, January 12, 2025

Today we continue our series in the Book of Daniel—Exiles in Babylon! This week pastor Glenn will take us into Chapter 11 and the first 35 verses. Chapters 10-12, which conclude the book, are all related to the final vision of future events that Daniel was given. Chapter 11 is by far the most contested chapter in Daniel's book of prophecy by the skeptic and the reason is obvious. We now know from history that all the predictions of future kings and kingdoms have all come completely true. Join us as we dive into the prophecy and its significance for us today. Read Daniel 11:1-35 in advance to prepare for the message.

We continue our series in the Book of Daniel—Exiles in Babylon! So far in the book that bears his name we've seen Daniel and his friends exhibit wisdom and discretion beyond their years.
