| | |Now, the prophet Daniel had been in Babylon for '''sixty-eight years'''. You who wants to run references back, and save yourself some of the time, that I’ve had to—to looking it up. Sixty-eight years! '''He went into captivity in b.c. 606''', and when '''the vision came to him was—was b.c. 538. 538 from 606, leaves sixty-eight.''' Sixty-eight years he had been in Babylon, amongst heathens, and still had the victory.<ref>William Branham, 61-0730M - Gabriel's Instructions To Daniel, para.72</ref> | ||
| | 26 Now, to lap back our Scriptures for a few moments, we find that Daniel had been in captivity for sixty-eight long years. Think of it! Now, you, and your paper and pencil, that didn’t get it this morning, may pick it up tonight. '''From a.d. 606 to 538. Take 538 from 606, you got sixty-eight years''' Daniel had been in…a captive; no church to go to, no sermons to hear, nothing. But he had some books, some scrolls, that a prophet before him had prophesied, and was—was Jeremiah.<ref>William Branham, 61-0730E - The Sixfold Purpose Of Gabriel's Visit To Daniel, para. 26</ref> | ||
|The first verse of the chapter locates it in the “First Year” of Darius the Median, or the same year as the “Fall of Babylon,” '''B. C. 538'''. Daniel had been studying the Prophecy of Jeremiah, and learned from it that the 70 years of “Captivity” of his people were drawing to a close, for the “Captivity” began in '''B. C. 606, and 68 years''' had elapsed since then.<ref>Clarence Larkin, Dispensational Truth, or “God’s Plan and Purpose in the Ages“ (Philadelphia, PA: Clarence Larkin, 1918), 49.</ref> | |||
