Daniel, Chapter 8, Verse 23-25

²³ At the end of their reign, when sinners have reached their measure, there shall arise a king, impudent, and skilled in intrigue. ²⁴ He shall be strong and powerful, bring about fearful ruin, and succeed in his undertaking. He shall destroy powerful peoples; ²⁵ his cunning shall be against the holy ones, his treacherous conduct shall succeed. He shall be proud of heart and destroy many by stealth. But when he rises against the Prince of princes, he shall be broken without a hand being raised.

One wonders if this prophesy is for today? Today’s gospel message is one of hope.  Seek good and not evil so that you may live, and the LORD will be with you. (Amos, 5:14)

If this Lent has not been one of your best, or if you have fallen away from our Lord, remember that He; Himself fell three times on the way of the cross for us.  Repent and be saved.  Holy week soon approaches seek His mercy.
