Daniel's Perspective
by JRP Ministry Staff on 04/08/20
Daniel 9:13–14 (NASB95)
13 “As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth. 14 “Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.
Calamity...it's the perfect word for what we are going through. The first thing we need to do is get out of our denial. Second, we need to understand what the Bible has to say about judgment, both Old and New Testament, and believe what it says. Third, repent of our pride, arrogance and self-righteousness and ask and seek the Lord's forgiveness.
We can't blame the devil for this; he isn't authorized to release judgment.
