The final words of Daniel’s prophetic book tell us much and—like Daniel—leaves us wanting more. His finale is truly as grand as it is intimate, revealing and glorious. Next up—Revelation…

“The Future Daniel Never Saw”
God gave Daniel vast visions of the future, but He didn’t show him everything—and Daniel desperately wanted to know. What was God hiding—and why? The answer is huge, and we need it today. (Daniel 12:7-8)
“Light of the Last Days” (With an important Prophecy Update)
Who are ‘the wise’ in God’s estimation? What does it mean to ‘shine like the stars’ in a dark world—and what does that look like when it happens? An important message for people living in the Last Days (that would be you…) (Daniel 12:3-4)
“Reasons for the Wrath” (Daniel 12, PART 2)
The Great Tribulation is coming—but why? Is it because God is a mean, angry God, or does humanity actually deserve it? The answer is clear—and it’s shockingly wonderful. (Daniel 12:1-3, PART 2)
“The Great Tribulation: The Worst Days of Planet Earth” (Daniel 12, Part 1)
The Great Tribulation is coming—the most terrible days the world will ever endure are on the way. But why? And what about those destined to endure the horrors—some of them God’s very own people? What is God thinking? So glad He told Daniel…!
“Tomorrow’s News: What Moves You?”
A powerful study of Daniel’s prophecy of the Great Tribulation at the world’s end. But why did God reveal this to humanity? For us to be informed? Or is it for a much greater purpose? (Daniel 11, PART 4)
“Tomorrow’s News: The Devil’s Endgame”
God gave Daniel a glimpse of the “times of the end”, to be passed along to the Jewish people, and eventually to us. It’s among the most vivid and frightening pictures of the coming antichrist’s devastating impact on our future world—with the price of nonchalance too terrible ignore. (Daniel 11, PART 3)
“Tomorrow’s News: Israel and the Antichrist” (Daniel 11, PART 2)
Of the 135 prophesies in Daniel 11, most were precisely fulfilled over 2100 years ago. But a few remain—by far the most chilling—reserved for the end of history as we know it. Why did God revealed these events? The answer is electrifying—and a blessing. (Part 2)
“A Look Back at Tomorrow’s News” (Daniel 11, PART 1)
God revealed a 135 precise predictions to Daniel that came to pass over 2000 years ago—still, hundreds of years after Daniel’s lifetime. Certainly among the most spectacular prophecies in the Bible—and the most telling. Why God revealed these events is even more interesting—and inspiring. (Part 1)
“Spiritual War and the Fate of America” (Daniel 10, PART 2)
What’s happening in America—in the world for that matter— is far more than a culture war—it’s the symptom of a dangerous conflict between holy angels and the demons of hell fought in another dimension of reality—happening now—happening all around us. The question is, what can be done about it? This message is riveting study that unmasks perhaps the church’s greatest strength—and weakness.
“Daniel, Jacob and Jesus: Wrestling Match with God” (Daniel 10, PART 1)
Who was “The Man” who visited Daniel after being detained by “The Prince of Persia” for three weeks? How could the devil restrain such an overwhelming, formidable being so that they even required an archangel’s help to escape? The answers will surprise you—and might even change your relationship with God Himself…
(Correction: Jay’s reference to “Matthew 7” should be “Matthew 17”)
“Daniel’s 70th Week: Abomination in The Tribulation Temple” (Daniel 9, PART 5)
Prophecy Update: In Bible prophecy, numbers are language—God uses them to simplify what He wants us to “know and understand”. So—what about those “70 weeks” that Gabriel told Daniel? Simple, terrifying, glorious. Much more than about the “70 weeks”—this update might leave you breathless…!
Special Audio Supplement (below): Daniel prophesied that in the Last Days the Jewish Temple would be rebuilt—but where? The Jews are intent on putting it back on the Temple Mount—which could cause another world war. Today, however, many Christians say that history got it wrong—that the original site was elsewhere and the Temple Mount was actually the Roman Antonia Fortress. Here are my thoughts on the controversy (read from Pastor Jay’s essay, The Controversy of the Jewish Temple Location, which you can also read HERE).
“The 70 Weeks of Daniel: The Supreme Victory” (Daniel 9, PART 4)
What were those mysterious ‘sevens’ spoken of by the angel Gabriel to Daniel? In fact, they’re not difficult at all—and they reveal wonders, both tremendous and terrifying. And they weren’t only for Daniel or the Jewish people, but a warning for everyone at the world’s end…
“Daniel and the Sins of a Nation” (Daniel 9, PART 2)
Israel’s Exile to Babylon was ending, but many of the people were still ignoring God. When Daniel intervened and prayed on their behalf, it was a game-changer for Israel, for Daniel and for all people everywhere. That means you, too—listen carefully…
“The 70 Years of Daniel” (Daniel 9, PART 1)
What provoked God to exile His people to Babylon for 70 years? Daniel, Jeremiah and Moses knew—and it’s the key that opens the door to one of the most stunning Messianic End-Times prophecies in all of Scripture. Stay Tuned…
“Specter of the Antichrist” (Daniel 8, PART 2)
(PART 2) Before Jesus returns, the Bible says the Antichrist will ravage the world. But the Bible also tells us what he’s like in specific terms—that he’s a master deceiver and that God doesn’t want the world—or the Jewish people—to confuse this ‘Beast’ with His Son. And Daniel’s visions are the key… (Includes Afghanistan-in-Prophecy update)
“Shadow of the Antichrist” (Daniel 8, PART 1)
Before Jesus returns, the Antichrist will afflict the world—the Bible says so. But the Bible also tells us what he’s like in specific terms—that he’s a master deceiver and that God doesn’t want the world—or the Jewish people—to confuse this ‘Beast’ with His Son. And Daniel’s visions are the key…
“God and Monsters: Destruction of the 4th Beast” PART 3
To understand the Book of Revelation, the Antichrist and the Return of Jesus Christ, you need to understand the Book of Daniel. This message is a thrill-ride through the most terrifying parts of the end of the world. Fasten your seatbelts…!
“God and Monsters: What is The Son of Man?” PART 2
Why did Jesus refer to himself as the “Son of Man”? Daniel tells us—and the Gospels and Jesus shine in a whole new light. Why is this important? It points to the judgment of the Antichrist by the True Christ. (Daniel 7, Part 2) [Edited]
“God and Monsters: Who is the ‘Little Horn’?” PART 1
If you understand Daniel chapter 7, you’ll understand much of the Book of Revelation. Daniel saw visions of monsters—one of whom was the Antichrist—and Revelation tells us how we know. A powerful alert to the world—from the past—about our future…
“Daniel’s Night at the Zoo” (PART 2)
Daniel was a man who couldn’t be cancelled—and for good reason. Who knows? —for the same reasons people thousands of years from now may be praising God for you, too…
“Daniel’s Night at the Zoo” (Part 1)
A mighty king was tricked into condemning Daniel for doing what he did every day for last 70 years—praying to God and living a life of integrity. It was politics it its most insidious and lethal—until God showed up again. The lessons here are life-altering and powerful—and more relevant than ever. Listen carefully… Pastor Jay | Daniel 6, Part 1
“What Would God Write on Your Wall?”
God loves us, but He won’t be trifled with. In Belshazzar’s case, God put it in writing—and that same night both Belshazzar and Babylon fell. The question now is what would He write to us? Pastor Jay McCarl | Daniel 5

“Nebuchadnezzar’s Nightmare”
Pastor Jay McCarl | Daniel 2:1-23 | God wants to heard and clearly understood—so He gave Nebuchadnezzar a nightmare that could only be answered by a young captive from Judah. God uses the smallest people to broadcast His intentions—even to a very dangerous king…
“God Just Rang Your Bell”
Pastor Jay McCarl | Daniel 1:11-21 | In their futile attempt to assimilate four young Jews, Babylon rang a bell that still resounds today. God arranged the whole thing, of course—and He’s doing it with you, too—right now. Here’s how…
“The Fall of the Cancel Culture”
