I mentioned last week that I deliberately chose not to study all of Daniel’s seventy weeks at one time. I have my reasons: First, under the circumstances of last week, we might have lost our attentions by the time we reached the seventh week, long before we got...

Earlier in this study of Daniel, we had a lesson on angels. It was a doctrinal message, dealing with some of the general information that the Lord has given to us about His very special messengers. Then about 6 or 8 weeks later, when we came to Daniel 8, I referred...

I’m going to try to avoid overburdening you this afternoon. This is one of the most important scriptures in all the Word of God, so we need to go slowly and to try to get it right. And then there is the fact that many of you have eaten more than you should...

When Judy and I were still in Canada, we sometimes watched a television news magazine called “W-5.” It was on the same line as “60 Minutes,” “Dateline,” and “20/20” here in the States. I’m not thinking about the...

If you had all the resources available to any human being, and you could become world famous through one of those means, what would you choose as your avenue toward fame? Just about everyone knows the name Al Capone. His name is famous, or perhaps we should say...

In the course of Daniel’s confession of Israel’s sin, he mentioned a warning made by Moses. Commentators argue just a bit about to what place in the writings of Moses Daniel refers. John Gill summarizes those quarrels to either Leviticus 26 or Deuteronomy...

On Wednesday nights, for a couple of months now, we have been looking at lessons which come from David’s terrible sins of adultery and murder. If it was nothing but the sin itself, it would be a very sad and painful study – yet still it would be...

In my reading over the last few weeks, several authors have reiterated to me what I have also said… One of the primary problems with modern Christianity – and obviously the world in general – is the incorrect and very low perception that people have...

This is a chapter of prophesy, and so, in a special way, it is important. But it is more important than most prophecies in the sense that it is also now history. If this chapter, which is so hated by God’s enemies, can be placed before the mind of the agnostic,...

You may think that I have gotten lazy, or that I’m not prepared this evening, but such is not the case. I have spent hours looking at this chapter, trying to come up with some marvelous sermon outlines. Unfortunately – I have not been successful. Despite...

One of my concerns, as I was first thinking about preaching from this book, was that I wasn’t always going to be able to find subjects which I considered appropriate for our Sunday morning services. I have always pictured you inviting most of our visitors to...

Last Sunday night, we got an overview of Daniel’s dream – without a lot of explanation. Then this morning we cut out Daniel’s vision of the Ancient of Days, examining Him in more detail. Tonight let’s go through the chapter again, paying more...

Daniel has been given a dream – more specifically, a vision about four vicious beasts. I am reasonably sure that we can identify the meaning of these beasts and some of the details about them. I did that last Sunday night, but without proving my case. Tonight I...

“In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed.” With the end of Daniel 6 we come to the conclusion of the historical part of the Book of Daniel. The second half of this book, begins long before...

We need to remind ourselves from time to time that the basic purpose of the Bible is to reveal God. Yes, there is a great deal that we can learn of Jehovah through the study of biology, sociology, mathematics, physics and other sciences. But as we know, because...
