The Time of the End…
The last chapter of Daniel is a clear reference to the resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked, although the eternal destiny of each will be quite different. Great suffering is in store for God’s people throughout the years ahead… “At that time Michael, the...
Daniel…Chapter 11
We’re going to continue with the last two chapters of Daniel, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the awesome-ness (I know that’s not a word, but it should be) of our God! On my last post I said (or wrote) that when God wants to give us a message, He will...
Daniel's Vision of a Messenger…
Hang in there…three more chapters in the Book of Daniel! We all know that when God has something to tell us, He will give us the same message over and over until we get it. So Daniel has another vision. This time he was given further insight into the great spiritual...
Moving Forward…
I’d like to take a minute and tell you what has been on my heart for a while, and I think I am going to step out in faith and just begin doing it. I’m talking about my memoir, “A Blessing in the Storm…MD messed up my life and made me whole.” It’s a great story…It’s my...
Gabriel's Message About the Annointed One…

Be encouraged…God is coming!!
Earlier today I was reading a newsletter from one of my favorite teaching pastors, David Wilkerson of Times Square Church, NY. I mention this because the timing of God is just sooo perfect. The newsletter was about end times, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I...
Daniel's Vision of a Ram and a Goat…
“As I looked up, I saw a ram with two horns standing beside the river. One of the horns was longer than the other, even though it had grown later than the other one. The ram butted everything out of his way to the west, to the north, and to the south, and no one could...
Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts (Cont.)…

Daniel's Vision of Four Beasts…

“Everyone needs compassion--the kindness of a Savior.” This song, especially the word ‘compassion’ is on my mind since I woke up this morning, so that’s what we’ll look at today…“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then...

Daniel Explains the Writing…
King Belshazzar seemed ignorant of who Daniel was, however, my Bible Commentary tells me that Belshazzar knew Babylonian history, and so he knew how God had humbled Nebuchadnezzar. Nevertheless, Belshazzar’s feast was open defiance to God’s authority as he took the...
