Daniel 7

Daniel chapter 7 is a shift in writing style from the first half of the book. Daniel 1-6 was written more as a historical recording of events from Daniel's life in Babylonian captivity. Chapter 7 begins visions that Daniel had concerning the life of God's people. Biblical scholars would classify this type of writing (beginning in Daniel 7 and continuing to the end) as apocalyptic literature. It is prophecy about the future. This kind of writing can get confusing to interpret and understand what the intended meaning is. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron helps us unpack Daniel 7, but also gives some helpful hints about how to interpret apocalyptic literature in general. This is helpful because this kind of writing appears all throughout the Bible.
