The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 108 (November 2, 2026)

The book of Daniel contains two passages about the Messiah, and Jimmy Akin walks through both of them. In Daniel 7, a figure like a son of man comes with the clouds of heaven and receives a kingdom that will never be destroyed. Jimmy explains why that image points to a second divine figure, and why Jesus’ use of it at his trial led the high priest to cry blasphemy. Then he turns to Daniel 9, where the Messiah is cut off and Jerusalem and the temple are destroyed. The result is a clear look at how these texts shaped Jesus’ own claims.
