Daniel 7 - Judgement in favour
How "infinite, minute, exact, and detailed" really are the heavenly records of Judgement?
This combination of adjectives is striking, and goes straight to the core of a traditional Adventist understanding of the final judgement. The lesson seems to squirm a little when trying to explain how this is good news, and we agree that there's often a tension here. Perhaps judgement makes more sense as good news when you're oppressed and exiled under evil earthly powers. We look at Revelation 14:6-7, and turn back to Daniel 7 to see a picture of Judgement as "vindication".
