Our purpose

The Son Of Man Daniel 7 is a Christian ministry based in Northern Ireland. It exists to share the Word of God: Scripture read aloud and set to music, Bible teaching on prophecy and the return of Jesus Christ, and news of what is happening to Christians around the world, so that believers can pray, stay watchful and stand firm.

The name comes from the prophet Daniel's vision:

“I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.

Daniel 7:13–14 (WEB)

What we believe

We hold the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, and we believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, rose again and is coming again.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 (WEB)

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.

Ephesians 2:8–9 (WEB)

Statement of faith

These are the beliefs that guide this ministry, each with the Scripture it rests on so you can test it for yourself.

1. The Scriptures

The whole Bible, Old and New Testaments, is breathed out by God. As first written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek it is free from error in everything it teaches, and the events it records really happened. Scripture alone is our final authority for belief and ministry, and no church tradition or personal experience can be a source of doctrine.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:160; Matthew 5:18; Luke 1:3–4; Isaiah 8:20; Mark 7:13; Acts 17:11

2. God

There is one true God, the God of Israel, who exists eternally as three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He alone is to be worshipped, and only in the ways His Word sets out.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Exodus 20:3–5; John 4:24

3. Jesus Christ

Jesus is the eternal Son of God, the second person of the Godhead, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and He is the only Saviour. On the cross He carried our sin, and He counts His own righteousness to everyone who trusts in Him. On the third day He rose bodily from the dead, and He was afterwards taken up into heaven.

John 1:1, 14; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18–23; Luke 1:34–35; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Isaiah 53:5–6; 1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 20; Acts 1:9–11

4. The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity. All His gifts, the miraculous gifts included, are still at work in the Church today, but they must be used in order and tested by Scripture; we reject every kind of charismatic or Pentecostal excess, and any theology built on experience rather than on the Word.

Acts 5:3–4; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; 1 Corinthians 14:1, 39–40; 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21; 1 John 4:1

5. Man and Sin

Humanity is fallen, and the whole created order shares in the effects of that fall. No one can make himself right with a holy God by his own efforts.

Genesis 3:17–19; Romans 5:12; Romans 8:20–22; Romans 3:10, 20, 23; Galatians 2:16

6. Salvation

Salvation comes only by being born again, through turning from sin and trusting in Jesus alone, for there is no other remedy for sin. Each person must receive Christ for himself and go on faithfully with Him, as Scripture requires. Those who reject Him will face everlasting ruin.

John 3:3, 16, 36; Acts 3:19; Acts 20:21; John 1:12; Colossians 1:22–23; Hebrews 3:14; Matthew 25:46; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9

7. The Church

We long for the unity that the Spirit gives, shared with Bible-believing evangelical Christians, churches and ministries, even where we differ on secondary matters. We refuse, as a false unity, any alliance with forms of Christianity that teach a different way of salvation or rest on an authority other than the Bible.

Ephesians 4:3–6; John 17:21; Romans 14:1; Galatians 1:8–9; 2 Corinthians 6:14–17; 2 John 9–11

8. Baptism

Baptism is for believers: those who have personally repented and put their faith in Christ.

Acts 2:38, 41; Acts 8:12; Acts 18:8; Romans 6:3–4

9. Israel

Like wild branches grafted into an olive tree, Gentiles who truly trust in Jesus take the place of the natural branches broken off through unbelief, and so share in Israel in a spiritual sense. The Church has not replaced Israel, and we hold that teaching to be false. God's plan to bring salvation to the world is tied to His promise to gather Israel back and to save her.

Romans 11:1–2, 11–12, 17–27; Ephesians 2:12–13, 19; Jeremiah 31:10, 35–37; Ezekiel 36:24–28; Ezekiel 37:21; Zechariah 12:10

10. Last Things

The Church will still be on earth when the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist, is revealed, and will see the opening of the first six seals. Between the sixth and seventh seals Christ will gather His people to Himself, and then the seventh seal opens on the trumpet and bowl judgments. After this He will return in glory to the earth, before the thousand years, and set up His millennial kingdom on earth.

2 Thessalonians 2:1–4; Daniel 7:21–22; Matthew 24:15, 21–22, 29–31; Revelation 6:12–17; Revelation 7:9–14; Revelation 8:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; 1 Corinthians 15:51–52; Revelation 19:11–16; Revelation 20:4–6; Zechariah 14:4, 9; Daniel 7:13–14, 27

Israel and the Church

Scripture has much to say about God's faithfulness to Israel, and we want to be clear about where we stand.

Grafted in, not replacing

We reject replacement theology (supersessionism): the teaching that the Church has taken Israel's place and left the Jewish people with no further part in God's purposes. Paul describes one olive tree. Gentiles who trust in Jesus are wild branches grafted in to share the richness of its root; they are not a new tree that replaces the old one. He warns Gentile believers not to boast, for “it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you” (Romans 11:18, WEB).

Romans 11:17–24; Ephesians 2:12–13, 19

Stumbled, but not cast away

Paul asks whether God has rejected His people, and answers, “May it never be!” (Romans 11:1, WEB). A partial hardening has come on Israel, yet there is a believing remnant even now, and her stumbling opened the door of salvation to the Gentiles. If that brought riches to the world, her fullness will bring far more, and God is able to graft the natural branches back in.

Romans 9:4–5; 11:1–5, 11–15, 23–25

Irrevocable gifts and calling

As regards God's choosing, the Jewish people are still “beloved for the fathers’ sake” (Romans 11:28, WEB), because “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29, WEB). God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham and his offspring, including the land, and promised that through him all the families of the earth would be blessed. He ties Israel's survival as a nation to the fixed order of sun, moon and stars, and although He disciplines her sin, He has sworn that He will not break His covenant.

Genesis 12:3; 17:7–8; Jeremiah 31:35–37; Psalm 89:30–37; Jeremiah 30:11

Not forgotten

When Zion complained that the LORD had forsaken her, He answered that a mother might forget her nursing child, “yet I will not forget you!” (Isaiah 49:15, WEB). He has promised to gather His people from the nations, bring them into their own land, give them a new heart and put His Spirit within them, and plant them there never to be uprooted again. That regathering is His work, done for the sake of His holy name.

Isaiah 49:14–16; Ezekiel 36:22–28; 37:21–22; Amos 9:14–15

Israel's future turning to her Messiah

Jesus said Jerusalem would be trampled by the Gentiles “until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:24, WEB), and when the disciples asked about the kingdom being restored to Israel, He did not deny it but left the timing with the Father. He told Jerusalem she would not see Him again until she says, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 23:39, WEB). God will pour out a spirit of grace on Jerusalem, and they will “look to me whom they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10, WEB) and mourn; when the Lord returns and His feet stand on the Mount of Olives, “all Israel will be saved” (Romans 11:26, WEB).

Luke 21:24; Acts 1:6–7; Matthew 23:39; Zechariah 12:10; 14:3–4, 9; Romans 11:25–27

Our response

So we love the Jewish people, pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for Israel's salvation, and share with them the Good News of the Messiah, which is for everyone who believes, “for the Jew first” (Romans 1:16, WEB). We stand firmly against contempt for the Jewish people.

Romans 10:1; Psalm 122:6; Romans 1:16; Genesis 12:3
