summary and Study">Chapter </a></tr></table></div><b>and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God</b><br>This phrase highlights the central issue of disobedience to God's commands. In the context of <a href="/daniel/9.htm">Daniel 9</a>, Daniel is confessing the sins of Israel, acknowledging their failure to heed God's voice. The "voice of the LORD" often refers to God's direct communication through His commandments and prophets. This disobedience is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, where Israel frequently turns away from God's instructions, leading to consequences such as exile. The concept of hearing and obeying God's voice is foundational, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>, where blessings and curses are outlined based on obedience.<p><b>to walk in His laws</b><br>Walking in God's laws implies a lifestyle of consistent obedience and alignment with His commandments. The term "walk" is metaphorical, indicating a way of life or conduct. The laws refer to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, which contain God's instructions for His people. This phrase underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where adherence to His laws was a sign of faithfulness. <a href="/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a> extensively praises the beauty and righteousness of God's laws, emphasizing their role in guiding the believer's life.<p><b>which He set before us</b><br>This indicates that God's laws were clearly presented and accessible to the people. The setting before them suggests a deliberate act of revelation and instruction. In historical context, this refers to the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, where God established His covenant with Israel. The phrase implies that the people had no excuse for ignorance, as the laws were made known to them. This is echoed in <a href="/deuteronomy/30-11.htm">Deuteronomy 30:11-14</a>, where Moses assures the people that God's commandments are not too difficult or beyond their reach.<p><b>through His servants the prophets</b><br>The prophets served as God's messengers, delivering His words and warnings to the people. This phrase acknowledges the role of the prophets in communicating God's will and calling the nation back to obedience. Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel were instrumental in reminding Israel of their covenant obligations and the consequences of disobedience. The prophetic tradition is crucial in the biblical narrative, as it points to both immediate and future fulfillments, including the coming of the Messiah. Jesus Christ is seen as the ultimate fulfillment of the prophetic office, as He perfectly reveals God's will and calls people to repentance and faith.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/daniel.htm">Daniel</a></b><br>A prophet and a man of prayer, living during the Babylonian exile.
