The document provides an overview of the biblical Book of Daniel. It describes Daniel as a man of purpose, planning, prestige, prayer, predictability, prophecy, persistence and perspective. It also discusses Nebuchadnezzar's primary god Marduk and contrasts him with Daniel's God. Some background details are given on the dating of Daniel between 605-536 BC. The book consists of Hebrew and Aramaic sections focused on Jewish and Gentile audiences respectively, with overlap in interest. Overall, the document frames Daniel as presenting stories of faith with a focus on future prophecy.
All angelic manifestations in the Bible were simply the same beings now claiming to be aliens. These deceptive beings populating the atmosphere throughout mankind's history are artful MIMICS & MASTERS OF DISGUISE. Rebel angels can take on any form they please, even appearing as angels of light.The deceptive rebel angels often appear to humans in SEEMINGLY benign guises: as the enlightening angel to Mohammed, as the angel Moroni to Joseph Smith, in disguise as the Virgin Mary in apparitions, and disguised as Enlightening Alien Space Brothers.
Teaching Elder Duke Shelley of Black Forest Chapel continues a series on Revelation. Part 6 starts the introduction to the Book of Revelation in chapter 1.
Looks at how the last two chapters of the Book of Daniel fit in with the end times chronology of the New Testament in the Book of Revelation and Synoptic Gospels.
In this sermon we establish a Biblical perspective on God, Governments and Nations. We understand that God determines the rise and fall of nations, leaders and governments. What is God's influence in the course of things in a nation? How can a nation experience more of God (or less of Him) in response to the prayers of God's people? How should we pray for leaders?
How did we go from an offensive posture, a holy discontent, a movement where people willing died for their belief in Christ to something that just seems like a relic of the past, that people are embarrassed to talk about.
WE’VE GOT TO GET THE FIRE BACK, we’ve got to get the wind back. We’ve got to stop putting God in a box, and we’ve got to go back out on the offensive.

14 Solid Reasons to Believe the Book of DanielRick Bruderick
The Book of All History has already been written by the One who lives outside of Time. He once gave Daniel a glimpse of that book. Daniel wrote record several hundred years of world history before it happened. Here are 14 reasons to believe that Daniel wrote prophetically.
Genesis 11:1-9 describes early man's attempt to rebel against God by creating a religious humanism and economic collectivization. God judged man's attempts at the Tower of Babel and He will judge again, as prophesied in Revelation 17 & 18, future attempts at globalization.
Did they really exist ? Through out history every continent and every culture lies the tales of the Human Giants. Now but myths and legends but are they based on truth. Are there actual physical remains now stored away from public view as reported in newspaper articles, documentary programs, and scientific papers so not to disturb the established Darwinian Evolution Model that you must believe in. Seek and you shall find and remember what Jesus said, "The truth shall set you free". Don't let others do your thinking for you. Cheers Steven

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what with holdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then that Wicked shall be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with power and signs, and lying wonders."

The context of 10-12 indicate that Antiochus Epiphanies is the subject matter of chapter 12 and not to force the text to say something it doesn't. A spiritual application would be: I. The hope of the suffering saint. "Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
II. Secondly, the reward of the working saint. "They that are wise shall shine,"
III. The rest of the waiting saint. "Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
Not a textual lesson on the chapter itself for it has been previously explained. This lesson deals with the concept of the kingdom of God and how the church IS the kingdom prophesied in Daniel 2.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

• He is a man of Planning 1:11-13
• He is a man of Prestige
(influence) Impressing the chief
eunuch (19); encouraging his three
friends 1:8-13; having persuasive
sway with the head guard (2:14-19);
satisfying the king with his
interpretation (2:46-49); creating
jealousies among the other wise men

3. NebuchadNezzar's god
• The primary god of Babylon was Marduk “he was eventually called simply Bel, or
lord. Originally, he seems to have been a god of thunderstorms.
• He was the god of 50 names, each one that of a deity or of a divine
attribute.
• Marduk’s chief temples at Babylon were the Esagila and the
Etemenanki, a ziggurat with a shrine of Marduk on the top.
• Marduk’s star was Jupiter, and his sacred animals were horses, dogs, and
especially the so-called dragon with forked tongue, representations of which
adorn his city’s walls. On the oldest monuments Marduk is represented holding a
triangular spade or hoe, interpreted as an emblem of fertility and vegetation. He
is also pictured walking or in his war chariot. Typically, his tunic is adorned with
stars; in his hand is a scepter, and he carries a bow, spear, net, or thunderbolt.”
4. Daniel’s God
He judges his people and protects them while under his judgment (1:2).
He raises up the obedient (1)
He is a God who speaks – unlike the idols he reveals his will to
mankind (2:28).
He is a miracle working God (3)
He is a God who is incomparable with any other gods (3:39)

5. Background of the Book
• APX 712 B.C. – Hezekiah is prophesied to that his sons would become eunuchs i
Babylon (2 Chron 32).
• 612 B.C. – Fall of Nineveh, capital of Assyria
• 605 B.C. – Battle of Carchemish, established Babylonian domination
• 597 B.C. – A second remnant taken to Babylon
• 586 B.C. – Fall of Jerusalem and the temple destroyed
6. Dating the Book
• The internal testimony of the book says it was authored by Daniel (7:2ff; 8:1ff;
9:2ff; 12:4,9).
• As an historical person, Daniel is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel (14:14, 20; 28:3)
• The ancient Jews believed that no books were added to the Old Testament
after the time of the Persian ruler Artaxerxes (464-424 B.C.)
(Josephus, Against Apion 1.8).
• Material from Daniel is alluded to in the Apocrypha (cf. 1 Maccabees 2:59-60).
• Christ referred to the prophecy regarding the destruction of Jerusalem (Dan
9:27), and he declared that it “was spoken through the prophet Daniel” (Mt.
24:15).
• The testimony of Josephus is decidedly against the late date for Daniel.
• The precision of the details within the book relative to the city of Babylon.
• Portions of the Daniel manuscript from the Dead Sea scrolls reveal, upon the
basis of paleographic evidence (i.e., writing style), that the original document
was composed several hundred years prior to the 2nd century B.C. and were
dated to the late Herodian period. In other words, these manuscripts could
come from about 60 AD or earlier (Hartman and Di Lella 1978:72).
• By the time of the Greek writer Herodotus (5th century B.C.), the name
“Belshazzar” (5:1) had disappeared from the historical records.

9. Hebrew & Aramic
Daniel consists of three sections written in two different languages:
• (1) Daniel 1:1-2:4a in Hebrew;
• (2) Daniel 2:4b-7:28 in Aramaic; and
• (3) Daniel 8:1-12:13 which reverts back to Hebrew. This
distinction is frequently used as the basis for concluding that
chapters 1 and 8-12 are predominantly focused on things of
interest to the Jews (written in Hebrew), whereas chapters 2-
7 are predominantly focused on things of interest to Gentile.
• While it appears that the most important revelation concerning
Gentile rule is written in Aramaic (chapters 2 and 7) and that
revelation of greater importance to Jewish concerns is written in
Hebrew (chapters 9, 11, 12), one must be careful not to
overemphasize a hard and fast distinction between the interests
of the two groups because there is considerable overlap in the
information given in each section and the interests of both
groups. For example, the Jews would also be deeply interested
in the prophecies concerning the sequence of kingdoms which
they will be subject to until the Davidic throne is reestablished
(Daniel 2 and 7). Moreover, there are also important aspects
concerning Gentile prophecy in the non-Aramaic sections.
