We return to the book of Daniel and to one of the most mysterious and exiting topics in the Bible: Angels! So far in our study of Daniel, we’ve encountered the Angel Gabriel – but in chapter 10 we’ll meet 2 (or maybe 3) more members of the Angelic Host… and get a glimpse behind the curtain into the Spiritual War that is raging all around us. It is rare for God to allow a visible look into the unseen realm – and when He does, the results is always awe and fear and wonder. As we’ll see, Daniel falls to the ground and briefly looses his ability to speak… but the Angels strengthen him and prepare Daniel for the coming vision in chapters 11 and 12. In same ways, chapter 10 is just the prelude to the final prophetic vision of Daniel’s life. However, this “setting the stage” for the final vision is one of our deepest and most fascinating looks into the reality of the spiritual realm and the huge forces that are at work behind the scenes in our world.
We’ll study what the Bible has to say about Angels, about the spiritual realm, and about our personal part in the spiritual war that is unfolding through history.
