Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hello and welcome back.

4

Thank you so much for joining us again.

5

It's Tuesday and we're glad

that you're back with us.

6

It's Tuesday.

7

Yeah, it's Tuesday, September.

8

The 16th.

9

16th, yes.

10

Tuesday, September 16th.

11

Yeah, we, when we record on Friday,

it's hard 'cause you gotta jump,

12

like normally we're just jumping

ahead one day, two days at most.

13

Saturdays are hard enough 'cause

we gotta jump forward three days.

14

Yeah.

15

But then Fridays it's oh man,

we gotta jump forward four days.

16

Now those very weird.

17

It does feel weird, but it is Tuesday.

18

And by the way, sometimes

you'll notice that.

19

We will send out episodes and maybe

something massively significant

20

happens like on Wednesday.

21

Now I jumped on late at night Wednesday

night and threw a bumper onto the

22

podcast episode that dropped on Thursday.

23

But because we record these early,

if you listen to one of our podcasts

24

the day after something significant

happens and you're saying why aren't

25

they talking about this event?

26

That's probably why because

we recorded it before.

27

It took place.

28

We record two days in advance on some

of these and three days on the weekends.

29

W we typically like to

get to big ticket items.

30

We find that this is a good platform to

be able to address some of those things.

31

And so sometimes we're a day late

on that from where everybody else

32

is already given their opinion.

33

And that can be helpful sometimes

'cause we have a little bit more

34

time to process and figure things

out and gather some more details.

35

But that's generally speaking, why now

when something big happens we may jump

36

in and do I did on Thursday morning,

and there was something on the front

37

end of it, but typically if you're

going, why aren't they talking about it?

38

It's probably because we recorded it the

day before the actual event took place.

39

I think there's also a sliding scale.

40

Oh, this is gonna get.

41

Dangerous.

42

Okay.

43

It's just letting scale

things that we will Yeah.

44

Talk about and things that we won't.

45

Yeah.

46

It's not that we don't think

something's especially big or

47

should have some kind of commentary.

48

It's just that big things are

happening all the time now.

49

They really are.

50

And there was a school shooting.

51

Yeah.

52

I think on the same day there was, as

Charlie Kirk's assassination, and I just

53

thought, man I'm grieving for our nation.

54

And that's the sad thing is that's

not the first time we've heard that.

55

Or the last time.

56

I find it to be incredibly difficult.

57

We do this podcast in part because

we do wanna engage with the modern

58

things that are happening to help

you think through those things.

59

But our whole podcast

would be filled Yeah.

60

With news.

61

And here's how the Bible speaks

to that specific thing and that's

62

what some people are called to do.

63

Dr.

64

Moeller does that every

morning, Monday through Friday.

65

We're thankful for that.

66

We just can't do that without losing.

67

The plot line of what this

podcast is actually for.

68

So even though that's true, we

don't hit all the big things.

69

And some of the things that you think,

oh, they should have talked about this.

70

This is so huge, and this person was

talking about it and that person was,

71

we may not, because there's just so many

big fish to fry and we wanna keep the

72

heartbeat of this podcast in the Bible.

73

We wanna be in the Bible, we wanna apply

the Bible, think about the Bible, because

74

ultimately that's gonna point us to our

greatest hope and our greatest help.

75

As helpful as it is, and we hope

it's helpful when we talk about

76

some of these big ticket items.

77

Yeah, and that's a good word.

78

And the other thing too, not only

is so much happening, but we're

79

aware of so much more happening

than at any other time in history.

80

Oh man.

81

Because of social media flooded in

24 7 news and sometimes it's good to

82

break away from that and not to lose

yourself in the details of all of it.

83

Can I introduce.

84

A controversial subject.

85

Sure.

86

Why not relate?

87

I know the last couple have been spicy.

88

Okay.

89

One of the responses.

90

I saw to Charlie Kirk's assassination,

and this is not surprising.

91

Anyone who's listening to this will

probably find a lot of similarities.

92

I follow different accounts for different

reasons, and what's interesting is

93

that some of these accounts will

put their account on the line to

94

make some kind of statement about

the way they feel about the event.

95

And I do think there's a place for that.

96

There's appropriateness to say, look,

I run this funny account, but here's

97

my heart on the matter of prayers

and thoughts, or whatever else.

98

Yeah.

99

One account that I follow that

really has nothing to do with any

100

of this stuff that's happening.

101

Decided to say something to the

effect of, and I'm gonna give it

102

to you and I want free to respond.

103

Something like, when will we

realize guns are the issue?

104

And underneath this post

was lots of affirmation.

105

Yes, that's totally right.

106

Why can't we do something about this?

107

Gun control has to happen.

108

Why are we okay with this?

109

We're the only civilized nation.

110

Where these kinds of things are

a regular repeating occurrence.

111

And that's true.

112

We do have an issue more than

any nation, as I understand it.

113

I think we have a bigger problem with

this than anybody else does, and the

114

question of course is why, and some

of the answers that people offer are

115

gonna be, look, we have a gun control.

116

And we need to resolve that right now.

117

Our kids are in harm's way.

118

When are we gonna do this?

119

And so this is one of the political

talking points I know, but as a

120

Christian and as a pastor, help

us think through some of that.

121

Yeah.

122

Because we should have common

sense gun control restrictions.

123

No one's gonna deny that.

124

We also wanna protect some

of our amendment rights

125

or first amendment rights.

126

So help us wade through

the waters we want.

127

We don't wanna be political

more than we are Biblical.

128

Give us some leadership in this.

129

Yeah.

130

I would say Matthew five, Jesus

would say the issue is the heart,

131

and that's always gonna be the case.

132

And so when he's saying, I believe

it's Matthew five, maybe Matthew six,

133

the Sermon on the Mount runs together.

134

Quite honestly, when he's saying, if your

right hand causes you to sin, you need

135

to chop it off and throw it from you.

136

If your left eye causes you to sin,

gouge it out and throw it from you.

137

And then also in that same context

when he's saying, look, if you

138

hate your brother, it's like

you've murdered your brother.

139

And the reason being is because the

issue is a heart issue and no matter

140

what, that's gonna be the problem.

141

And no amount of rules and

regulations can get to the heart.

142

You can't fix somebody or solve depravity

by going after rules and regulations

143

and putting restrictions in place.

144

We may have the greatest issue with

gun issues and gun violence, but if you

145

look at the UK right now, they have.

146

Strict gun rules and regulations

over there, and they're

147

facing an epidemic of crime.

148

And there've been a lot of assault.

149

I'll leave it at that.

150

You can read into the word assault, what

is actually taking place over there.

151

And so the depravity of man is

always gonna fi, it's always

152

gonna leak no matter what.

153

You, you can try to restrain it with

every single thing that you can put

154

in place from a human perspective.

155

And yet the depravity of

man will leak out somewhere.

156

And so you may argue we would have less

deaths here if we restricted guns, maybe.

157

Maybe we would, although that's not

necessarily always the case either.

158

You've got murders that are

taking place all over the world.

159

People are creative at finding ways

to extinguish the life of other

160

people that they don't want to exist.

161

It's not the issue's not, Hey, we

need to stop people from having guns.

162

Because the other thing I would say

is, okay, let's look at other laws that

163

have been put in place, for example.

164

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for someone

to possess fentanyl, and yet what we found

165

is people find their ways around the laws.

166

This is putting the law in

place doesn't solve the issue.

167

Putting the law in place doesn't

mean this is no longer gonna happen,

168

and so we, we need to be realistic

about the fact that the ability of.

169

Humanity to treat the condition

of the human heart, which is

170

really the main problem here, is

gonna be limited no matter what.

171

No matter what laws you pass, no

matter what restrictions you put

172

into place, nobody can solve the

depravity of the human heart.

173

Only Jesus can do that.

174

So I've heard people respond to that

common sense response and say Yes, but we

175

also recognize the need for seatbelt laws.

176

Police officers will enforce seatbelt

laws because they're common sense.

177

They save lives.

178

And what we, those of us who pro

promote gun laws are suggesting is

179

that we can save lives by installing

common sense gun laws that protect the

180

weakest and most vulnerable among us.

181

Can you respond to that?

182

Yeah.

183

I, those that, okay.

184

Yeah.

185

I think I'm understanding

where you're going with that.

186

I think.

187

You can also point to the fact that

people who have been armed, who have

188

been carrying, have prevented a lot

of awful things from taking place,

189

or awful situations from escalating

to degrees that they would've gone to

190

otherwise had somebody not been there

who is concealing and carrying, and who

191

is trained, and who could handle things

the way that they need to handle things.

192

So I, I think you can argue that the right

use of guns is a good thing and something

193

that we should look at and say, this is.

194

Appropriate.

195

There are times where deadly force

being applied is something that is good

196

overall for humanity because it prevents

something even worse from taking place.

197

And so it's now you're left with

the scales and trying to stack

198

up evidence which does worse?

199

Which, which does more harm?

200

And that's a debate that people are

gonna have until Jesus comes back.

201

Absolutely.

202

Yeah.

203

And I guess it's important just to

recognize to what you just said earlier,

204

the fact that the human heart is involved

hearts that are intent on doing evil.

205

Aren't looking at the laws and saying,

Hey, is it okay for me to buy a gun?

206

Totally.

207

They're not gonna submit to some kind of

government governing authority to say,

208

Hey, can I purchase this assault rifle?

209

I'd like to utilize this

to do a lot of damage.

210

And is this okay?

211

They don't have the same kind of

conscience, and I think that's part of the

212

argument people will make, is that people

are gonna do evil regardless of whether or

213

not the laws on the books say yes or no.

214

I think that's also.

215

You know what I'm just gonna

go a certain direction.

216

I'll leave that out.

217

But yeah, to your point it is

really primarily a hard issue.

218

We would not deny the fact that

there should be common sense laws.

219

Yes.

220

The question of course then is, whose

common sense are we going to apply?

221

And that's where the real heat and

the light is because we're arguing

222

not at simple practical matters.

223

We're saying what's

right and what's wrong.

224

And the fact that we're arguing at the

right and wrong level are arguing morals.

225

Yes.

226

And because we're so morally divided.

227

We disagree fundamentally

about a man and a woman.

228

That's why they're having so

many issues here, talking about

229

these things in productive ways.

230

Yeah.

231

Yeah.

232

Let's get into our DBR for

today, Daniel 10, 11, and 12.

233

We're gonna finish up the book of Daniel

and in Daniel 10 we open up in 5 36 BC

234

I said yesterday, Daniel's gonna stick

around and here's the evidence of that.

235

Captivity is already over.

236

Some people have already gone back

to Jerusalem, and so Daniel's still

237

here in, in Babylon, in exile.

238

And he has another vision.

239

And this time it's a vision not

of a, of an animal, not a beast,

240

not of these things, but of a man.

241

And it says that in verse six is

a body was like barrel, his face

242

like the appearance of lightning.

243

This description that is this

overwhelming figure of a man, of a

244

one that looks like a man at least.

245

And his voice is like

the sound of a multitude.

246

And Daniel sees him and it says,

my, my strength left me, my

247

radiant appearance was fearfully

changed and I retained no strength.

248

And he falls onto his face in this deep.

249

Sleep.

250

And then the next thing you know is

somebody taps him on the shoulder.

251

So I guess the difficulty here is

trying to discern, is this Jesus that

252

he sees in this initial vision or is it.

253

A man.

254

And here's the thing.

255

If it's Jesus, then there

has to be two beings in this.

256

This chapter, the one that taps him on

the shoulder has to be somebody different

257

than the vision of the man that he sees.

258

The reason being is the one that taps him

on the shoulder is gonna talk about how

259

he's been opposed by the Prince of Persia,

that he has been with, stood for 21 days.

260

So none of us would say that

Jesus is gonna be able to be

261

withstood by a demonic force.

262

Jesus is gonna be able to get.

263

Through whoever he wants to get through.

264

So that has to be an angelic being.

265

The main messenger of chapter

10 is an angelic being.

266

It's just this vision that he sees of this

figure in the response that he has to it

267

is one that gives me enough pause to say,

is this a vision of Christ that he has?

268

And then there's an angelic being

that's dispatched to deliver

269

the rest of the content to him.

270

Or is this an archangel?

271

Is this the angel Gabriel?

272

That is just so overwhelming

because he's appearing in his full

273

glor glorified form at that point.

274

Thoughts on that?

275

Yeah, man I'd have to agree

that because of the evidence

276

of some kind of weakness Yeah.

277

Some kind of powerlessness against a

foe tells me everything I need to know.

278

Yeah.

279

Just think about, I think about

every time a human being comes across

280

an angel, there's always worship.

281

Yeah.

282

Worship is the first response because

they're so magnificent, they're so mighty.

283

They're they reflect the holiness of

God and they don't have sin like we do.

284

So I think it makes sense to me,

at least in part, to suggest this

285

angelic visitation is something

magnificent, and perhaps he's one

286

of the ones who are closer to God.

287

There are angels that are closer

to God and those who are further.

288

And I think those who are closer share the

greater privilege and perhaps a greater

289

sense of the reflected holiness of God.

290

So I'm gonna go with that.

291

I can't think this is Jesus.

292

If it is, I need a really good

argument to think of why he seems to

293

struggle with something that the King

of Glory would not struggle with.

294

Yeah.

295

I just, I struggle, I guess a little bit

because Gabriel shows up in chapter nine.

296

And Gabriel's an archangel.

297

Right?

298

And there's no, there's not

the same response to Gabriel in

299

chapter nine as there is here.

300

And so it's okay, why does Gabriel appear,

or whoever this angel is, to be so much

301

more overwhelming to Daniel in this vision

than he did in chapter nine when he came

302

to give the answer to Daniel's prayer.

303

Totally.

304

And I would appeal to my

ignorance of the angelic realm.

305

Yeah.

306

We talked about powers, principalities,

and all those things that are

307

happening behind the scenes.

308

I'm gonna say maybe there's

a class of angel that just.

309

Looks really weird.

310

Yeah, I think most of them do look weird.

311

They, I think they appeal to us

or appeal to us in human form.

312

Yeah.

313

For our sake.

314

Yeah.

315

He shows up and he tells Daniel, Hey,

I was dispatched and I was coming

316

to help you, but I was withstood.

317

And so this is what you're talking about,

that there are wars that were unaware of.

318

There are battles taking place in the

angelic realm that we're unaware of.

319

And this is an example of that.

320

Daniel was waiting for an answer

and this angel had to stop and

321

fight the Prince of Persia and.

322

GA or Michael had to come to his aid

and help him with this and he's gonna go

323

on here and explain more, especially in

chapter 11 of the things that are about

324

to happen, the things that are coming.

325

Chapter 11, we do find out

more about specifically Greece.

326

And the reason why Greece is so

important here is because in context

327

it's the Persians that are on the

throne as Daniel's writing this.

328

And so that goes back to chapter

10 verse one, the third year

329

of Cyrus, king of Persia.

330

So the Persians are there, the next

ones up are Greece and Alexander the

331

Great is gonna lead the charge on that.

332

But then after Alexander the

Great, the kingdoms are gonna be

333

split and you're gonna have two

major kingdoms emerge from that.

334

You're gonna have the kings of the south.

335

That's the Tommies and they're are

headquartered in Egypt, and then

336

you're gonna have the Kings of

the North, and that's the lucid.

337

And so Chapter 10 records a lot

of history of the unfolding of the

338

conflict between the kings of the

North and the kings of the South.

339

In other words, the Tommies and the Lucid.

340

And this is another example where

people will look at the book of Daniel

341

and they will look at this chapter and

say, man, this describes so perfectly

342

the conflict between the tomes and

the sids, that there's no way this was

343

written before these events took place.

344

And so that's just another symbol for

us as Christians to look at this and

345

go, no we believe it did, because we

believe this is God who's predicting

346

these things through the pen of

Daniel, as the angel, Michael is

347

revealing all of these things to him.

348

One of the people that's gonna emerge

from this battle is going to be.

349

Antiochus epiphanies and anus epiphanies

is gonna be one of those that emerges

350

and then begins to want to expand

his territory as far as he can.

351

And so he is going to attempt to

go after the King of the South.

352

He's gonna attempt to go after the toes

and take them out, and yet he's gonna

353

be rebuffed, he's gonna be turned away.

354

And in his anger, he's gonna

turn his attention against

355

Jerusalem, a smaller foe.

356

At the time, and he's going to

go after it says there in verse

357

28 against their holy covenant.

358

And so after another setback in

Egypt, he's gonna come back and

359

he's gonna actually take action.

360

It says against the holy covenant.

361

This is gonna be the

abomination of desolation.

362

He's gonna put an end to the

sacrificial system there in the temple.

363

He's gonna set up this image there in

the temple, which we know historically

364

to be an image of Zeus that was

erected in the temple in Israel.

365

There.

366

He is going to defy the nation of Israel.

367

And so this is more on Antiochus

epiphanies and what's coming here.

368

But what is gonna take place as the

chapter continues is that the focus

369

is gonna shift from him to the one

that he's gonna ultimately foreshadow.

370

And that is beginning in verse

36, the coming of the antichrist.

371

And you say why do we shift from

anus epiphanies to the antichrist?

372

Why do we shift from anus

epiphanies to antichrist?

373

Thanks, man.

374

Because.

375

What we read about in the rest

of chapter 11, these things don't

376

describe what took place under

the reign of Antica epiphanies.

377

And so these are yet future

things that are gonna take place.

378

And so we know that this is

anticipating something else.

379

And what this describes is the rise to

power of the antichrist, basically in

380

the rest of Chapter 11, and that the

antichrist is not gonna be unopposed.

381

There are gonna be those that

battle and fight against him, the

382

differences, he's going to win.

383

He's going to come and be the

one that holds ultimate power.

384

And that's all in

accordance with God's plan.

385

And yet, in the end, part of God's plan

is that he will come to his end as the

386

chapter ends with no one here to help him.

387

Hey, can I encourage you to be

patient with yourself as you

388

work through stuff like this?

389

Yes.

390

You're you clearly you've studied,

you've been doing this a long time.

391

You know what's happening.

392

You're talking about the

different groups here.

393

Most people that approach this

for the first time, or even the

394

10th time, or maybe even the 50th

time, still struggle with putting

395

some of these pieces together.

396

So if you're feeling that.

397

You're in good company.

398

That's okay.

399

What you need is a good study

Bible and a lot of patients,

400

and maybe a good commentary.

401

Is there a commentary that you've

been using for this PPJ Man?

402

I think in this territory the Bible

Knowledge commentary is just super

403

helpful Bible knowledge, commentary.

404

The reason being is again, we are

dispensationalist and that informs our

405

view of a lot of these things because

this is dealing with the end times.

406

A lot of it is.

407

Yep.

408

And eSV study Bible is great.

409

I would say probably not gonna

be as helpful in this context

410

because they're gonna take a

different position on the end times.

411

That's right.

412

Not aberrant.

413

We're not dealing with believer

unbeliever, but just a different position.

414

So I would recommend Bible

knowledge commentary.

415

Again, I think MacArthur's single

volume commentary on the whole Bible is.

416

Really good and helpful.

417

It's brief.

418

Is that different than a study bible?

419

Succinct?

420

That's a good question.

421

I don't know.

422

I haven't compared and contrasted.

423

Okay.

424

But the MacArthur study Bible would be

another good resource for you as well?

425

Yeah, the both of those resources

are fantastic and what you need is

426

to be patient with yourself as you

read through this, and maybe you.

427

What we're doing is Bible

reading, not Bible studying.

428

So I know this is gonna be different than

what you would ordinarily do, but maybe

429

for a chapter like this, you spend a

little more time with it and give yourself

430

15, 20 minutes to read through the

commentary information and to compare it.

431

Make some notes in your Bible.

432

But all that to say, I just want you to

know you're not alone in your struggle.

433

Through chapters like this, we all have.

434

And some of us still do.

435

It just takes time.

436

Be patient with yourself,

keep trucking along.

437

You're doing a great job by being here.

438

Yeah.

439

Good encouragement.

440

Chapter 12 opens with the

time of Jacob's trouble.

441

This is the end times.

442

This is as everything is ramping up.

443

This is the antichrist reign where

Israel's gonna face unprecedented

444

suffering and troubles.

445

Though God will ultimately deliver them.

446

This is gonna be a period of time

for, again, three and a half years.

447

We see that there in the chapter where

it says a time, times, and half a time.

448

Again, that's verse seven.

449

I believe, and so this is the

back half of the three and a

450

half years of the tribulation.

451

So the tribulation overview,

the rapture takes place, the

452

antichrist comes to power.

453

There's going to be a peaceful period

of time for three and a half years.

454

It's going to look like this is gonna be

a peaceful period of time for seven years.

455

There's a treaty that's entered

into between the antichrist

456

and specifically God's people.

457

Three and a half years into

that, he's gonna break that.

458

And that is what.

459

Kicks off this time of Jacob's trouble,

and this is this three and a half back

460

year period of the tribulation period

where not only are the judgments of

461

God being poured out, which we're gonna

read about in the Book of Revelation,

462

you've got some cosmic events taking

place and judgment of God on the earth.

463

But then on top of that, you've got the

antichrist persecuting God's people,

464

Israel specifically, and that's what

we're reading about in chapter 12.

465

So the last seven year this, the

70th week of Dan, week seven.

466

Yep.

467

Is the whole tribulation period,

or the whole seven year period,

468

even though the first three and

a half years is a time of peace.

469

That's still called Jacob's trouble.

470

Yes.

471

That's the final week of Daniel's.

472

70th week.

473

Yes.

474

Alright.

475

Yes.

476

We'll all clear.

477

Yeah.

478

Perfectly crystal.

479

Be because that first three and a

half years is still gonna be marked

480

by God's judgment on the earth.

481

There, there's still judgments

that are being unleashed and poured

482

out even during this time of peace

between the Antichrist and Israel.

483

And where are the Christians?

484

Christians during this

period are with Christ.

485

This is the time period of the

wedding supper of the Lamb.

486

This is the time period where

we have received our glorified

487

bodies after the rapture that we

are with him awaiting his return.

488

We're getting ready to come back with

him when he comes back to vanquish the

489

antichrist and set up the millennial

kingdom, which is what happens next.

490

So when someone says.

491

That they believe in a

pre tribulational rapture.

492

Yes.

493

What we're saying is that we believe

Christians are taken up to God.

494

Yes.

495

Before the seven 70th week of Daniel.

496

Yes.

497

The time of Jacob's trouble.

498

Yes.

499

There are people that are

mid tris and post tris.

500

Wanna say anything about those guys?

501

Yeah.

502

I think there is more cred,

credence to the mid trib position

503

than the post tri position.

504

And here's why.

505

The post tribulational position

doesn't seem to make a whole lot

506

of sense because if we're gonna be

raptured, which means to be caught up.

507

With Jesus right to be caught up in the

air with him right after the tribulation

508

period ends then what that means is

we're being caught up to him only to

509

turn around and come straight back down.

510

You turn the establishment

of the millennial kingdom.

511

So that one doesn't make

as much sense to me.

512

The mid trip position

the argument there is.

513

There's so much ink in the New

Testament, including in one Peter

514

that we're studying right now spilled

over how Christians need to suffer

515

well and be prepared for suffering.

516

That would it make sense for

God to pull the church out

517

right before that takes place?

518

There's other arguments surrounding that

as well, but that's one of the arguments

519

that the church is called to suffer and be

a witness even during that suffering time

520

when the tribulation period takes place.

521

I I still think there's first, thus

four revelation when he says, I'm

522

gonna keep you from the hour of

trouble that's coming upon the whole

523

Earth and he's speaking to the church.

524

There, there are good reasons for us

to hold to a pre tribulational rapture.

525

But there are also good believers

out there that, that don't, so yeah.

526

Not the least of which reason being,

I don't wanna be part of that.

527

Yes.

528

I don't wanna be there.

529

Yes, I am praying.

530

I am a.

531

Pre Tribulational rapture

position by conviction.

532

But I'm also by hope.

533

Yes.

534

Amen.

535

I don't Amen.

536

Want to live through that.

537

Amen.

538

No, thank you.

539

Yeah.

540

Same.

541

Same.

542

Alright, let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode.

543

God help us to live ready for the rapture.

544

Just, we're gonna be talking about

that or we, I guess we just did talk

545

about that on Sunday, but we wanna be

ready for our appointment with you.

546

And we wanna live faithfully

in the meantime, and we want

547

to be trusting your word.

548

And we thank you for books like Daniel

that lay things out for us that we

549

can read and we can understand as

much as we can help us to understand

550

more as we apply ourselves, as

we seek to study these things.

551

And not to grow weary or discouraged

by things that are difficult to

552

understand, but to use the helps that

you've given us to learn more about

553

who you are and what your word says.

554

And so we pray for a great

week towards that end.

555

In Jesus name, amen.

556

Amen.

557
