Daniel 9:1-19

9:4-19 | Daniel confesses the sins of the people as their representative. God had warned that if the Israelites failed to keep His covenant and disobeyed the Law, they would be taken into exile by a foreign nation and restored only because of His faithfulness and mercy. Rebellious Christians can never do enough to reconcile with God. Only because of God’s mercy and faithfulness are they forgiven and restored.
