Now Daniel makes his prayer personal and inclusive even though he wasn’t part of the sins that brought them where they are, he is owning a part when he uses the words, “we” and “us”.  When we pray a prayer of confession, do we own a part even if it is the sin of a nation or church?  Probably Daniel was not quilty of the sins that brought the nation down.  Our own nation is corrupt today.  Can I confess a part of the iniquity of my beloved USA like Daniel did?  God will judge this nation as well.  Whether I like it or not, like Daniel, if I am still here it will affect me too.  At the end of Daniel’s prayer, he gets his answer in the seventy week (years of sevens) prophesy that extends from Nehemiah’s mission to rebuild Jerusalem to far beyond our human existence to the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
