Daniel Chapter 12 – Commentary and Explanation P hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Alright, we’ve come to the end. Daniel Chapter 12. The final chapter in a book that has taken us on a ride—from fiery furnaces and lion’s dens to angelic encounters and visions that seem almost too wild to wrap your head around. But now we’re here. It’s the conclusion, the wrap-up, the finale. And man… it’s weighty. You ever read something and feel like time just kinda stops for a moment? That’s what Daniel 12 feels like. It’s a short chapter—just 13 verses—but every line hits with intensity. There’s this feeling that something cosmic is unfolding, and it’s not just about ancient history anymore. It starts to feel personal. Like… this is about us too. The Big Time of Trouble – Verse 1 "At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time...

  Daniel Chapter 11 – Commentary and Explanation P hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash “A Tangled Web of Kings, Wars, and a Coming King Who Shakes Everything” Alright, buckle up. Daniel chapter 11 is probably one of the most detailed and intricate prophetic passages in the whole Bible. And honestly? It reads like a political thriller. If you’re into history, ancient warfare, alliances, betrayals, and power-hungry kings? This chapter is for you. But if your head starts spinning after the first few verses, trust me—you’re not alone. It’s dense. But it’s powerful. Let’s dive in together, piece by piece. Verses 1–2: Persia in Focus Daniel 11 opens with an angel (same one from chapter 10) continuing his message to Daniel. He’s giving Daniel the divine scoop on what’s going to happen in the future. And he starts with Persia. “And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all…...

  Daniel Chapter 10 – Commentary and Explanation P hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Okay, so here we are—Daniel chapter 10. And if you’ve been following along, you’ve probably noticed that the book of Daniel really shifts gears after chapter 6. The lion’s den, fiery furnace, and all those dramatic scenes give way to these intense, often symbolic visions and prophetic messages. Chapter 10 is no different, but man, does it open up a deeper layer. A more spiritual warfare kind of vibe. And I’ll be honest—it’s wild, mysterious, and absolutely fascinating. So let’s slow down and walk through it together, verse by verse, as much as we can. Setting the Scene – A Glimpse Behind the Curtain Verses 1–3 give us the setup. Daniel’s now older—this is during the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia. That’s significant, by the way. The exile is basically over . Some of the Jews have already returned to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel to rebuild the temple. But Daniel? He’s stil...

Daniel Chapter 9 – Commentary and Explanation P hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Okay, here we go—Daniel Chapter 9. If you’ve ever wanted to witness what true intercessory prayer looks like, this chapter right here will grab your heart. But not just that—this chapter gives us one of the most jaw-dropping prophecies in the whole Bible. I mean it. We’re not just talking symbols and dreams anymore—we’re stepping into actual years, predictions, and timelines that point directly to Jesus. Yup, Daniel 9 is that deep. So, let’s take a walk through this chapter together. Coffee in hand? Bible open? Good. Let’s dive in. Setting the Stage: The First Year of Darius (v.1-2) “In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom—in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures…” Right from the get-go, we get a time stamp. It's the first year of Darius —likely 539 B.C. Babylon has fallen, the Mede...

Daniel Chapter 8 – Commentary and Explanation hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Let’s dive into Daniel chapter 8 today, and I’ll just go ahead and say it—it’s one of those chapters that will make you scratch your head and go, “Wait, what just happened?” Honestly, it’s a pretty wild vision. We’re talking rams and goats and horns and angelic interpreters. And beneath all that symbolic imagery is a prophecy that lines up almost too perfectly with history. And that’s not just me saying that. Even secular historians have raised their eyebrows at how accurate this stuff is. So, grab your coffee (or tea if that’s your thing), and let’s talk through this together. It’s worth it, even if your brain feels a little fried by the end. Setting the Stage: Another Vision, Different Focus (Daniel 8:1-2) We start the chapter with Daniel receiving another vision. This time, it’s in the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign. That’s important, because this puts the vision before the fal...

  Daniel Chapter 7 – Commentary and Explanation hoto by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Bible Study Blog  Alright, let's get into it—Daniel Chapter 7. If you’ve been reading through the book of Daniel from the start, this is the chapter where the vibe kind of shifts. Up until now, it’s been stories: lions' dens, fiery furnaces, and dramatic kings. But now we take a hard turn into prophecy territory. And not just any prophecy—we’re talking full-on beasts rising from the sea, thrones of fire, and visions that shake Daniel to his core. You’ll see why this chapter has inspired so many books, theories, and debates. Buckle in. The Setting: First Year of Belshazzar (Daniel 7:1) Daniel 7 opens with a timestamp. It says, “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed.” This is important because it's going back in time a bit. Remember, the last few chapters already moved forward chronologically. But here, we rewi...

 Daniel Chapter 6 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Ingo Stiller  on  Unsplash Let’s talk about one of the most well-known and beloved stories in the Bible: Daniel in the lions’ den. I mean, even people who haven’t cracked open a Bible in years have probably heard some version of this one. Kids learn about it in Sunday school. Grown-ups reference it in motivational talks. It’s dramatic, it’s inspiring, and it’s got lions in it. But let me tell you—there’s way more going on here than just a miraculous survival story. Daniel Chapter 6 isn’t just about a man and some lions. It’s about integrity. It’s about loyalty. It’s about faithfulness under pressure and a God who shuts the mouths of lions—both literal and figurative. And woven into all of it is a reminder that following God might put you in some really tough spots… but He doesn’t leave you there. Let’s walk through this together and see what this chapter is really saying. A New King, Same Old Daniel (Verses...
