In this episode, Pastor and Professor Andrew Marquez explores the prelude to Daniel’s final vision in chapters 10–12. Focusing on verses 1–4, we encounter a prophet marked by earnest entreaty—a powerful model of prayer marked by urgency, discipline, and expectation. Daniel’s encounter begins with consequential communication from God, prompted by timely intercession and a mourning fast that reveals his deep longing for divine understanding.Discover how Daniel’s posture of prayer offers a pattern for us today—calling believers to pray fervently, listen expectantly, and fast faithfully.Dr. Andrew Marquez is Director/Dean of Wayland Baptist University's Arizona Campuses (www.wbu.edu/arizona) and Pastor of North Swan Baptist Church (www.northswanbaptist.com).
