In 2018 we studied the book of Daniel. We asked John Lennox on a visit to Cape Town if he would come and address us on Daniel. He had recently published "Against the Flow - The inspiration of Daniel in an age of relativism." This is the recording of the evening, held in the church to accommodate the large numbers.
I cannot say I understand the ways of God, but He told us in Isaiah that we would not be able to understand His thoughts or His ways. But with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, I want to trust Him completely like a child who trust their loving Father. How does He choose for us to suffer, yet He lives us. I do not know, but He does and it is for our good. It must be for our preparation for eternity with Him. He is a mysterious God. Yet He walks with us, talks with us, teaches us, leads us, comforts us, gives us prayers and answers the prayers He gives us. He is perfect love.

How do you think a statue feels as it is being carved. Your father is carving the pieces you don't need. Sell everything. Trust him😃
there have been 7,000 plus gods that have been proposed by humans over time in hundreds of different languages and in hundreds of different countries.there is not and never has been the slightest evidence that any of them are real.until Mr Lennox or anyone can demonstrate that their preferred God is real we are entitled to treat God claims as bronze age superstitious nonsense.
What an inspirational comment 👏
I met a young man in Mexico while on vacation whose name was Belteshazzar which opened up a wonderful witnessing opportunity. I had prayed for such an opportunity before going and the Lord's timing & the whole experience is still amazing to me.
Reminds me of an old Sunday School song... "Dare to be a Daniel. Dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose firm. Dare to make it known!"
Thank you for explaining the book of Daniel. I am one year younger than you Professor John Lennox . I have heard many sermons on Daniel but nothing compared to your message. Thank you so much.The sermon inspired me so and gives me joy to share it my families and friends in South Africa.
I love John Lennox. I wish he were my grandfather; I could have listened to these wonderfully told histories all my life. I sense his kindness and the goodwill of the Spirit flowing from him. May God bless him and his family. I look forward to meeting him ‘in that day’.
@thestraightroad, you couldn't have put it better,
My sentiments also.
Oh, yes. He has marinated in the Word and Spirit Holy. In His love, loving God more, more than his own life and the world.
In my humble opinion, Professor Lennox, is a gentleman, who through the power of the Holy Spirit, has been blessed with heavenly wisdom. He takes great care and concern to deliver truth in a way that is not a source of his own prideful arrogance. Certainly, many of the so-called great thinkers and philosophers throughout time did. I imagine that they’d struggle with not allowing themselves to get puffed up due to their elevated worldly intelligence in accordance to those they’d consider unenlightened, or in their mind, the lowbrows of society.
Again, (in my opinion) Professor Lennox honors our Father in Heaven by using his blessings of faith and intellect by bringing glory and praise where it righteously belongs: Jesus Christ.
I Did get a little too early and it would not take me Love ❤Love ❤❤❤❤❤
For me professor
Lennox is a Mordern day disciple. 2nd to none.
A brilliant mind, a Godly man. So thankful for his ministry.
Tanks be to God for his servants to lead us and the wayward to the absolute Truth.thank you professor.
Amen
So clear, so helpful, so uplifting. I remember hearing John Lennox back in the mid 70s and his way of dealing with difficult issues from a clear Christian point has been a wonderful source of encouragement and help. Above all his constant witness to the goodness of God is an inspiration..
Love this godly man.🙏🏻
I can sit at his feet all day! Brilliant!🙏💪❤️
Not only do I get great peace and inspiration listening to Dr Lennox, reading other peoples comments gives me great hope for mankind, also the comments prove the measure of this wonderful man and I thank God for him.
This message is appropriate beyond most sermons given by many pastors today!
God is with you, Dr John Lennox! Thank you for your obedience to Him, and teaching and sharing His truths with all people of all faiths and beliefs - that their eyes and ears be unveiled, and they find Him, Jesus!
Pray God that in my corner, I may walk with God in His approval to reach the lost with Him, and encourage believers who are discouraged or confused!
Thank you!
Thank God for your life and Ministry Dr Lennox!!! With love ❤️ from Mexico City!!!
A very Blessed man indeed, God uses him.
Like many, I have learnt a lot from Dr. Lennox's insights. PTL
What an amazing message, thank you so much for posting it. How blessed are we to have John Lennox explaining the book of Daniel (amongst many other things). I've always loved the book, now even more.
Never have I heard such a clear and fantastic explanation.
A blessing to listen in :)
You're really starting to grow on me! I'm funny about listening to me teachers cause so many are wolves, but I love listening to ppl who l love God's Word. Dr. Chuck Missler is a favorite, but i like your mathematical twist. 🎉
I never caught the analogy of making a name for herself but just recently reflected in Revelation how we get a new name that no one knows.❤
Exciting!😊
Thanks for posting.. wonderful !!!
John Lennox. Awesome as ever. Jesus bless all our journeys. ✝️🙏🥰✌
Thank you so much for the book of Daniel and all your answers on how to study the scriptures
Thank you so very much for this -- inspiring & instructional.
This was amazing, uplifting and refreshing. Thank you, Dr. Lennox and the thank you to the hosts of this event.
I read "Against the Flow" a few years ago, and it's probably my favorite of the Lennox books.
Timestamp 56:30.
The story Professor Lennox recalls from his youth is graphic and chilling. So much I hear today reminds me of ‘That Hideous Strength’, the third book in Lewis’s trilogy.
An excellent message, especially the Q&A afterwards!
49:20 - Thank you, that was so so important to hear. So moving what that woman said.
Thank you for this incredible upload! ❤
Notes from upload.
Identity and Image:
Our identity: ‘in Christ’.
Image: losing face..recognise a fear barrier eg ‘I don’t know’
Most difficult is initial engagement. Ask questions, is a demonstration of interest.
What is clogging up people’s lives: Guilt: message from the ✝️: importance of forgiveness
And thanks as well for the questions and answers
Totally agree!
I am unequally yoked in my prayer life!!! Pray together!
Yes Sir,how many people fall to pieces when they Find out Christians ,all have a fondness with discipline.oh me hell know, Emmanuel..
Jesus left the Holy Spirit to reveal absolute truth to us as our relationship with God develops.
Bible illiteracy is worse now among so-called Christians than it has been since before there was a complete corpus of the New Testament. Sometimes when I try to teach Bible, I feel like I'm talking to a wall, a stone wall.
When I came to Christ I couldn't get enough of The Book.
I understand, I've been battling my family for years and it's a like a ball bouncing off. We're Irish n English but my English family are almost against it. I'm not private about my faith but they don't.like it when I bring it up. People are more interested in New agism
We just pray that the Holy Spirit will put a thirst for God's Word in Christian's hearts.
Paul Washer says to really listen to others, to give them time to talk about themselves & really hear them, then they will listen when you speak. So I asked myself if this was Biblical. Obviously caring about others is, but how much time should we spend contemplating the thoughts & ideas of others - then I realised that Jesus already knew all about people & demonstrated this by things He said to them. My quick prayer is "Lord help me to love this person well." 🙏 He will guide us.
We all live in a theocracy.the question is not whether or not we will be ruled by God, but which god.
This is exactly what psalm 2 is saying. O you kings be wise be warned you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling kiss the Son lest He be angry and you perish on your way....
1:10:55 as a visiting nurse it’s always ‘gotten me into’ the patient’s head by answering their questions about myself.
There’s nothing ‘unprofessional’ about that.
Thanks you for your service to the Lord Jesus Christ and your knowledge of scripture. I am an Irish citizen and find it very strange for a Christian professor , that can’t see the the six country’s of Northern Ireland is an other country. It’s like saying that their is no Israel only Palestine. I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding our Christian heritage. I am a Roman Catholic and your so-called government of Northern Ireland. Created an apartheid regime. To keep out Catholics. Just like you described in the book of Daniel.
Can someone point me in the direction of a Christian defense of the historicity of the book of Daniel and the claims of Darius the Mede. A google search says that Darius of Mede isn’t known in secular history and that there is no space in the historical timeline for Darius the Mede between the verified Kings Belshazzar and Cyrus the Great. Thanks in advance!

Rembrandt painted the writing on the wall as being written in Hebrew.
Yes that’s why the Babylonians couldn’t read it.
1:02:57 two years ago… and now his predictions of anti-christian laws in Western countries has come true
Audio is terrible. Almost inaudible.
Dr Lenox have you ever read the warning label on a small 5g cell tower? I ask because it describes the symptoms very similar of covid. Just asking 😊 thanks
Interesting that Daniel spoke with the ‘master of the eunuchs’.
Makes me suspect that all the captives were, uh, rendered incapable of fathering offspring.
Dani doesn’t speak to the Church but Israel !
But Israel is the Church. Israel refers to the body of believers that believe in the one true God. Rahab and Ruth became apart of Israel when they believed in the one true God. It is not a matter of physical descent. It is why Paul mentions that to descend from Israel is not to be descended from Abraham but to have faith and belief just as it was counted a righteousness for Abraham because he believed.
He calculated that religion is a great way of increasing his income.
Daniel and his prophecy, is book written by many and his prophetic writings did not materialize, one reason why at lest a dozen messiahs were walking around Galilee in the first century. How did Daniel and his end up at the king court? It makes no sense. I have read Daniel from a author that breaks each verse down verse by verse. This man is just rattling on and on.
Ask Professor John Lennox yourself. Be specific, and he himself is likely to answer you. If not he, someone else will until you are able to see what it is you do not understand today.
@@damisa3392 the question comes to the fact, we live in reality and these writers didn’t. The story isn’t that sensible a teenager in a court that just taken him captive. A enemy that is in a kings court and helping Susanna and putting in a lion den by a Babylon King and a Persian King, it’s a fake. Nobody can be that delusional to believe that nonsense.
You think so? Many kings in history have been teens. I dare say that many people have not believed the World of God, which is their prerogative. Choice. That is what God has given us. You may choose different from me__ I will not in cannot make you choose truth of the Bible. You cannot laugh or scorn me into disbelief of truth.
@@joannquaid6037 Daniel was no king, he was captured ward of Babylon, how can you be on the kings court in these circumstances. Like he took up for Susanna, as a teen? His prophecy was never materialistic right, the Bible is only stories written by persons unknown. According to what I have read he was put into the two different lion dens by two different Kings, it’s a fairytale without any evidence. How about Bel and the dragon, understanding scripture and doing some research you will understand more of the truth. If you take your Bible which I say is a version of the KJV, it doesn’t tell all that’s right,if you even read it which most Christians do not. They think that they are an authority just owning a Bible. I suggest reading the Daniel by Collins, and understand what he says. John Collins writes this book with no bias.
@@user-gb8fl4hk9xdo you believe that the historic Jesus of Nazareth was and is the one, true begotten Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
Amazing people believe this absurd book of fairytales
I can't remember if it was Harvard Law or Yale LAW that stopped teaching ETHICS!
