Daniel 10-12 Outro
All the conflicts described in Daniel 10-12 took place exactly as Daniel described. These prophecies are so specific that many skeptics reject them as written after the fact. It isn’t hard to believe that the God who knows the beginning and the end of all things would reveal these events to Daniel, the man “greatly loved” (Daniel 10:11). Now that we have seen the broad scaled prophecies about the future, let’s turn back to chapter 9 and see what God has in store for the nation of Israel and the coming Messiah.
