The economic analysts describe the stench of poverty and corruption that plagues Gaza, political analysts sift through the history and catalogue the attempts at peace in the Middle East, but the angry cries to fight to the death continue. Few ask the deeper question raised by a 1st Century Jew named James, "What causes conflicts and disputes among you? Where do they come from?" The prophet Daniel answered this question in Daniel chapter 9. Down on his face Daniel confessed his sin and the sins of his people. God responded and sent Gabriel, a powerful angel, to reveal God's answer to the problem of Jerusalem and His Jewish people. Let's join Daniel on our knees in confession and listen to God's answer.
