Christ will Deliver Christ will Destroy

God sent his Messenger to Daniel
God would Send Messiah–When
God would send Messiah–To do What?

God sent Gabriel to Daniel after Daniel passionately confessed his nation’s sins. Gabriel pointed: 1. God had heard and had forgiven them. 2. God would bring a final end to sin’s tyranny when Jesus Christ would come to live and die for his people. 3. Jesus Christ would meet God’s standards of justice so he could save his people. 4. God would bring justice on the wicked Jews who would compromise with the “Prince of the foreign people.” 5. The result of the forgiveness of God’s people and of the destruction of the wicked was in reality the inauguration of his unstoppable kingdom and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was the means he would use to establish it.

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. Learn that you need to daily confess your sins– privately and collectively – knowing that sin is a hindrance to the glory of God and the spread of his kingdom.

2. Know that you can only confess your sins if you are a child of God through Jesus Christ, as there is no prayer or forgiveness without sacrifice.

3. Rejoice in your forgiveness. Ps 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

4. Spread the news of Christ’s unstoppable kingdom to believers, so they would be encouraged to keep fighting, and spread the news to non-believers, so that they would praise the Lord for his goodness. If they reject your teaching, God will destroy them. God is glorified anyway. Don’t stop spreading God’s truth.
