The Prayer of Daniel
Daniel's prayer for his nation is a model to instruct us how to pray for our own sinful nation.

In this vision, Daniel is shown a more detailed view of the Little Horn, the Antichrist, who was introduced in chapter 7. It is vital for us to once again see that God is sovereign over the nations. The man of sin will arise and conquer, but his time is short, as decreed by the Lord.
In Daniel's vision, we once again see this great theme of God's sovereignty over the nations and over all of history. We also look at Scriptures which elaborate on the identity of the "little horn."
We must not be duped into trusting in man. It is the Lord who shut the lions' mouths for Daniel and it is the Lord who gives His people victory.
