WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: April 8, 2026, Daniel 8:15-19, 27 “The Invisible War Around Us”

The Chapter 8 visions of the unfolding human kingdoms affecting the Jewish people also reminds us that there is an invisible warfare lying behind all human events. This is true for human society at large and for each of us as individuals in the circumstances of our lives. As Ephesians 6 reveals, we fight not against merely “flesh and blood”, but against Satan and his fallen angels! And the backdrop to the prophecies throughout Daniel is an ongoing war between Satan and God that will be culminated by the return of Christ! We encounter today the Angel Gabriel, who we see also in Luke 1.
