Unlike the prophecy mongers of our day, it is evident that Daniel was driven by a holy desire for the prophecy's fulfillment (see Dan. 9). He was constrained by his evident love for, and devotion to the LORD God, and also a love for God's holy people, Israel, who had been sent into captivity because of their sin and rebellion against the Most High. Let us seek to emulate Daniel in this holy regard for the fulfillment of the things which God has made promise.
"The ears of the Lord of Sabaoth" (Jas. 5:4) are constantly attentive to the prayers of the righteous and to the cries of those among that number who are afflicted and oppressed. Let us seek grace that we may serve our great God acceptably with reverence and godly fear through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. --Al Stoner
