Q4. Appealing to the Almighty


Recommended Posts

The essential of Daniel's prayer was confession of sin and a plea for mercy.

The various grounds of Daniel's appeal are 1] God's precedent-deliverance of Israel in the past, 2] God's glory, 3] God's righteousness, and 4] God's personal identification with Jerusalem.

God answered Daniel's prayer by sending Gabriel to give him insight and understanding to explain a vision he had concerning future events.

Q4. (Daniel 9:15-19) What was Daniel's essential prayer? What are the various grounds of Daniel's appeal? How did God answer the prayer (see Daniel 9:20-23)?

Daniel's prayer is for Israel to return to Jerusalem. Daniel confesses to God just how unworthy the Jews are but appeals to God's mercy, to worship in the Temple, and to God's identification with Jerusalem. God allowed those that wanted to return to Jerusalem/Judea to do so.
