Daniel 8:13 Then I heard two holy ones talking to each other. One of them
asked, “How long will the events of this vision last? How long will the rebellion
that causes desecration stop the daily sacrifices? How long will the Temple
and heaven’s army be trampled on?” 14 The other replied, “It will take 2,300
evenings and mornings; then the Temple will be made right again.”
15 As I, Daniel, was trying to understand the meaning of this vision, someone
who looked like a man stood in front of me. 16 And I heard a human voice
calling out from the Ulai River, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of his
vision.” 17 As Gabriel approached the place where I was standing, I became
so terrified that I fell with my face to the ground. “Son of man,” he said, “you
must understand that the events you have seen in your vision relate to the
time of the end.” 18 While he was speaking, I fainted and lay there with my
face to the ground. But Gabriel roused me with a touch and helped me to my
feet.
19 Then he said, “I am here to tell you what will happen later in the time of
wrath. What you have seen pertains to the very end of time. 20 The two-
horned ram represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy male
goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes
represents the first king of the Greek Empire. 22 The four prominent horns that
replaced the one large horn show that the Greek Empire will break into four
kingdoms, but none as great as the first.
23 “At the end of their rule, when their sin is at its height, a fierce king, a
master of intrigue, will rise to power. 24 He will become very strong, but not by
his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed
in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy
people. 25 He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will
destroy many without warning. He will even take on the Prince of princes in
battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power.
26 “This vision about the 2,300 evenings and mornings is true. But none of
these things will happen for a long time, so keep this vision a secret.”
27 Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for several days. Afterward I got
up and performed my duties for the king, but I was greatly troubled by the
vision and could not understand it.
Big Idea:Our Father, Son, & Spirit is very involved in our world & lives.
Yahweh has been working through Daniel’s life. God is also
working through your life day to day. His unlimited providence
incorporates your limited providence. His program & promise will
not fail.

Look & See How Long: The Time of “Wrath”
1. Wrath
2. Great Wrath in the Tribulation PeriodThe A.I. Empowered Robots Are Coming
It is no longer in the mere imagination that we see the coming of
robots. They will be as ubiquitous as our pets. Will we invite them
in? Will we give them names? Will we come to love them? Will
they become our friends as well as our slaves? Already we have
autonomous vacuums and mowers, cars and smart phones:
precursors of the humanoid robots.
But what kind of things are these servants of us? It seems they
have very high intellect as do our smart phones, intellect of a
sorts. It is more than the intellect of a dictionary. It is
multidisciplined. It will not only be but will also learn. It has input
and output, seeming life-like. These beings will not only be but
will also do.
Will we dress them, name them, give them rights? Will we
humanize these humanoids? What will be the nature of its
creativity? Will they be more than tools and slaves?
What they will not be is human. Humans are made in the image
of God. Humans are created personalities with mind, will, and
emotion. These attributes are godlike. The robots will have
artificial intelligence, limited to the bounds of what humans know.
They will have artificial volition (willfulness) with ‘if and then’
abilities within the limits we give them. They may have emotional
words to use. Can they experience love, faith, hope?
Robots are tools without conscience. They cannot have eternal
life. Just as we imagine personality in our pets we will, no doubt,
attribute to our robot’s personality. What we can create we can
make our god. That is not new. We tend to worship created things
instead of The Creator. What I give myself to becomes my god
as I sacrifice to it my time, talents, treasures, and trust.
