Spiritual Battle with Earthly Consequences

What is the most frightening thing you have ever experienced? What made that situation so scary? How did you respond physically and emotionally?

Read Daniel 10:1-14

Why do you think Daniel, who had seen so much in his lifetime, was moved to fast for three weeks? (v. 2)

Daniel is entrusted with an important message. What important message has God entrusted to us? How can we take this message as seriously as Daniel takes the message God gave him?

Read Daniel 12:1-13

Verse 2 is the only time in the Old Testament that the words “everlasting life” appear. What does this tell you about how the book of Daniel anticipates and sets the stage for the New Testament?

Compare Daniel 12:4 and Revelation 22:10. Why are these commands different? What has changed?

Daniel confesses in verse 8 that he didn’t fully understand, but he is told to go on with his life anyway. What are some things in your Christian walk that you don’t understand? How can we help each other persevere in following Christ even when we don’t understand everything we read or everything that is happening around us?
