How Long?

Daniel is expecting change. It is very close to the 70 years that Jeremiah prophesied.

It is time for God to restore Jerusalem to glory!

But the people are not ready. they have not repented, nor do they put the things of God first in their lives.

So Daniel prays -- for Your sake and glory, restore Jerusalem.

Then the vision and the angel come and answer this question of how long will it be.
The answer is that there is an end game - 6 goals that must be accomplished before the restoration is complete.

This of course will only take 70 sevens (plus a few years of interlude) to accomplish.

The true answer for Daniel, and for us is the same. Trust God, for He has a plan and an endgame. He will bring it about when the task is done.

How long is a good question, but the best answer is to trust our Lord.

God Bless,
