150401 The God Who Reigns Over History

• LESSON 13 (April 1) •Daniel 12: The God Who Reigns Over History QUESTIONS WORTH THINKING ABOUT:   1.   In light of recent chapters, what should we make of Michael being described as “the great prince who has charge of your people” (12:1a)?  2.   “But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book” (12:1b). What is this communicating to Daniel and his fellow Jews?  3.   What should we make of Daniel 12:2-3?  4.   Why do you think this heavenly messenger would tell Daniel to “shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end” (12:4)?  5.   How would you summarize the last paragraph of this incredible book? (12:5-13)   6.   How does what we have studied in Daniel 10-12 relate to Jesus’ message to his disciples in Matthew 24?   7.   What sort of major takeaways do we need to get (and keep) at the forefront of our minds, now that we have waded through the deep water of the book of Daniel?   8.   How does Daniel relate to Revelation (our next book to study)?  9.   How does Daniel relate to us today?
