daily reading 15.4 (Daniel 12:11–13)

5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023

Our opening prayer for this glorious Easter week:

Lord, you have heard your Servant’s cry, And rescued from the grave.
Now he shall live, and none can die, If God has sworn to save.

This is the day the Lord has made; He calls the hours his own.
Let heaven rejoice; let earth be glad And praise surround the throne.

Today he rose and left the dead, And Satan’s empire fell;
Today the saints his triumphs spread And all his wonders tell.

Hosanna to th’ anointed King, To David’s holy Son!
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from the throne.

Blessed is Jesus Christ, who came With messages of grace,
Who came in God the Father’s name To save our sinful race.

Hosanna in the highest strains The church on earth shall raise;
The highest heavens, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise.
Amen.

Daniel 12:11–13

  • "From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
  • 12 Happy is the one who waits for and reaches 1,335 days.
  • 13 But as for you, go on your way to the end; you will rest, and then you will stand to receive your allotted inheritance at the end of the days."

5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023 Our opening prayer for this week: Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let ev’ry heart prepare him room And heaven and nature sing. Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns! Let all their songs employ. While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make his blessings known Far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness And wonders of his love. Amen.   Nehemiah 13:15–22 At that time I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath. They were also bringing in stores of grain and loading them on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought to Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day. 16 The Tyrians living there were importing fish and all...

5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023 Our opening prayer for this week: Lord, keep us steadfast in your Word; Curb those who by deceit or sword Would seek to overthrow your Son And to destroy all he has done. Lord Jesus Christ, your power make known, For you are Lord of lords alone; Defend your Christendom that we May sing your praise eternally. O Comforter of priceless worth, Send peace and unity on earth. Support us in our final strife, And lead us out of death to life.  Amen.   Nehemiah 5:1 –5 There was a widespread outcry from the people and their wives against their Jewish countrymen. 2  Some were saying, "We, our sons, and our daughters are numerous.
