Fasting Day 19 & onto Daniel 9

We are claiming our dominion this day over animals...I have a friend who is missing her one dog.  She slipped out when she was on her way out to walk two of her other dogs...so please if you live in the York area keep your eyes open for
Millie, which is a jack Russell terrier, now Millie is nearly deaf so she won't hear you calling her name, but she is wearing a purple collar with a little heart.  Please watch for her and do the right thing.

Okay so Darius is king and he is the king  over the Chaldeans and his lineage was of the Medes.   In this chapter we are told that Daniel has a clearer understanding of this prophecy. But and this is very important Daniel doesn't just understand the prophecy but he is also capable of applying the prophecy.
Daniels understanding came by studying the words of God found in the older books the he was able to read and study. Specifically Jeremiah 25: 10-13 and 29: 10.  Now I have just looked up and found that Jeremiah was written in approximately  586 B.C. and that Daniel was written (and completed) in approximately 536 B.C.  In these a fore  mentioned scriptures the number 70 keeps coming up for Daniel in his study of Jeremiah.  And Daniel realizes that he is living during the time that Jeremiah was speaking about in his writings.

Now as I was writing this and reading the scriptures I had an euphony (as my daughter, Jonquil would say). I wonder who is our Daniel of today, of 2013, that is looking at the scriptures that were written 2000, plus or minus, years ago and saying that they realize that they are living during the times that were written about in Revelations.  Wow! Do you ever surprise yourself with the things you are capable of thinking.  I actually think that this is Jesus who resides in my heart and He is just giving me these thoughts, so that I can express them to you.  Now what do you think about that!  Feedback please.....okay back to Daniel....you really should read Daniel 9 verses 3-19, what an awesome prayer!  And as Daniel is praying Gabriel stops by again...and basically says to Daniel, you have asked for understanding and that is what I have come to give to you, and Gabriel let's Daniel know that this is occurring because he so completely loved by God, because Daniel is so obedient to God......well we have only gotten thru to verse 20, so that is were we will pick back up tomorrow.

Time to be a blessing! So go do it!
