Daniel Series Study Sheet Week 13—June 11 Text: Daniel ch.12 Message Title: Waiting with Hope

What has God taught you through this series in the book of Daniel? What impact has it had in your life? Read Daniel 12 In v4 Daniel is sold to seal the words of the scroll he had recorded these prophecies on. Reuben suggested that the sealing of the scroll refers to how the full understanding of the prophecies in Daniel were concealed at the time. Connect that to Revelation 22:10—why is Revelation unsealed? Read Revelation 5:1-5. What is the scroll referred to in this chapter and why is Jesus worthy to open it? How does that relate to the scroll in Daniel 12? How is Jesus the fulfilment of all biblical prophecy? How can we interpret the specific prophecy in Daniel 12:1-4 in view of Jesus? What do you think of the two numbers in Daniel 12:1-12? Reuben suggested that the meaning of these two numbers may be that sometimes God calls us to wait a little longer in our struggles. What do you think of that interpretation? What is the difference between waiting on God, and just waiting? Describe a season of your life when you have waited on God? What did that look like for you? Read Daniel 12v10—How does God refine and purify us during times of waiting? Have you experienced this in your life? Read Isaiah 40:31—How does God renew our strength as we wait on him?
