1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?


2. In verse one, Daniel speaks of a “time of trouble such as never been…” about Daniel’s people, the Jews. What have you read or seen in history up to now about Jewish persecution that helps us understand that? (Why do you think there is so much hatred of the Jewish people?)
