Today, we get into chapter 9 and discover why the nation had been exiled into captivity and how long that captivity was prophesied to last.

In today's study, we see the interpretation of Daniel's vision of the ram and the goat, and how Antiochus Epiphanes was a type of the coming Antichrist.

Today in our study, we pick up in 7:18 and work our way down through 8:19 where we find the interpretation of Daniel dream in regards to the four beasts, but also we are introduced to his next vision of the ram and the goat.

In today's study, we spend a little bit of time catching up since we last left off, and then continued to look at the beasts, the little horn, the Ancient of Days, and also comparing the visions that Ezekiel and John saw.

Today we conclude our study on the subject of baptism by looking at the ministry of Paul where he explained that he was not sent to baptize as the Twelve were and that the only baptism for us today is spiritual and occurs at the moment of salvation.

In today's study, we take another look at the issue of baptism and look to the second argument that is used today for baptism in the church: Jesus' baptism.

The question that I have been struggling with since I moved away from an Acts 2 view of the birth of the church is, "What about baptism?" Is that for us today? Where are we told in Scripture that we are to be baptized? Is it required for salvation as some say? Or is it just required for obedience? Today, we look at the first argument the church uses for it today.

In today's study, I just offer some concluding thoughts in regard to what I have learned through this study and how it truly affects the lens or filter through which I see the rest of Scripture.

In today's final study of the book of Acts, we find Paul making his defense before the Jews in Rome and being asked to clarify what he thought of this sect that is spoken against everywhere. Paul proceeds to explain that Jesus was the hope of Israel and they listened until he quoted from Isaiah 6 about how the Jewish nation would not see, hear, or understand and that God sent salvation to the Gentiles without them.

In today's final study, we find Paul speaking to the Jews again, but this time about the sect that was followers of Jesus. Paul did this by expounding the Hebrew Scriptures from morning until evening, and he lost many of them when he quoted Isaiah 6 about how it was foretold that they would refuse to see and hear the truth.
