A few random thoughts as I was reading through Daniel 9 from the Think It Through for this week:
1) Daniel was reminded by God as he read the words that God had given to Jeremiah. Daniel was reading his "Bible" and God spoke to Him and Daniel acted. Think about that for a moment. Daniel was reading the book of Jeremiah - the same words that we can read today in our Bible. Very cool! Not only was Daniel faithful to read God's Word, he then did something with it.
2) Daniel recognized the sinful ways of his people and cried out to God and God answered. We can do the same.
3) 70 Weeks. Different people have different views as to what the "70 weeks" mean. Below is a graphic that illustrates 4 of these views: (click on the image for a larger view)
