However, as we discussed last week, the preference among modern bible commentators is not to spend much time on that subject […]

DANIEL Week 19, chapter 7 continued Today will be one of those lessons that will require all of your focus and attention. It will be one of the more challenging that you will ever hear from me, but it will also be rewarding if you’ll work at it. I’ll begin with quoting a person whose […]

DANIEL Week 18, chapter 7 Today and next week in our continuing study of Daniel chapter 7 we are going to go where angels fear to tread, and we’ll probably stick a fork in a few sacred cows. We’re also going to take a detour that I think will add some understanding to the life […]

DANIEL Week 14, Chapter 5 We spent almost our entire time together last week dealing with only a couple of issues. First, the transition from Daniel chapter 4 and the long 43-year reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, to chapter 5 and the final days of the Babylonian Empire under another Babylonian King. But, the second matter […]

DANIEL Week 12, chapter 4 continued We’ve been exploring King Nebuchadnezzar’s tree-dream in Daniel chapter 4 and will continue it today. Chapter 4 is rather unique as the entire chapter is narrated by Nebuchadnezzar himself. So we have an entire chapter of the bible that is the words of a non- believer. At the same […]

DANIEL Week 11, chapter 4 When we concluded Daniel chapter 3, it was with a proclamation made by King Nebuchadnezzar addressed to (as he modestly puts it) everyone in all the earth. This proclamation essentially ordered all of his subjects (who he reckoned was every last soul on the planet) to show respect for the […]
