Testimony For Today

We continue the first prophetic vision Daniel had and recorded in Chapter 7, showing the beginning of the connections it has to Revelation and the light of this prophecy is shown to have taken place throughout the subsequent events of history, according to the Word of God hundreds and thousands of years beforehand.

In this reading for church we discover the Lion's Den event in Daniel's life and end, from Chapter 6 going into Chapter 7, the historical accounts of Daniel's life and entire into the prophetic records of his visions.

Daniel speaks to the humiliation of Nebuchadnezzar, after the Hebrew captives are put through the test of the fiery furnace to the glory of God.

Today for the reading we are combining parts 2 & 3 of Daniel and the Revelation's Chapter 2. We dive deep into the chronological and historically accurate timeline of the delineation of the great image, as seen in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Many significant points of contention with historical relevance and accuracy are addressed today, so gear up for a long one! Praise the Lord!

This reading is from the 2nd chapter of Daniel and the Revelation, speaking to the interposition of Jesus in the life of Daniel while in Babylon as he receives and interprets the king's dream. We read of the love of Christ through his mercies to obedient servants, no matter where they are. For grace and the ability to "go forth and sin no more" is dependent on obedience, which Daniel exhibited throughout his life.

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

This week, we read start a new book entitled: Daniel and the Revelation, by Uriah Smith. Uriah Smith was one of the original founding members of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, and this book is thoroughly endorsed by Ellen White as a 'must read' for those who wish to follow Christ's instructions while here in His ministry:

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) - Matt 24:15

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: - Mark 13:14

This week we also read about the truth of the Revelation's relavence to Last Day Events and what the return of Christ will look like, at large. This is the end of this book. Next week we start Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith.

This week we read about the transformation of Jesus' Grace in the heart and take another look at what the true converted Christian looks like after they've accepted Christ. We also read about John the Revelator on Patmos and the blessings he received at the end of his life when the Lord gave him a look into the future of the true Church and the Last Day Events.

During this reading, we find out the true character of John and how Christ becomes revealed in the real Christians' life.

We discuss after church the importance of knowing what's happening in the world so we can decipher the signs of the times that are taking place. From the 10+1 new commandments the rulers of the earth are attempting to instate, to the topic of Baptism in the Bible.
