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...

According to my records we have been looking at this chapter for four weeks now. And of course, most of you have known the story of Daniel and the lions for decades before that. But how many times in the last four weeks have you thought about Daniel’s visit by...

Have I mentioned that I like Daniel? Have I mentioned that there are few, if any Bible characters, who are as pure and exemplary as this man? We cannot go wrong in studying him four or five times throughout each of our children’s lives. We cannot go wrong in...

Last Wednesday, as we began to delve into David’s sin with Bathsheba, I said that I was not excited about doing so. Some sins are just so odious and reprehensible that to study them, even for the most righteous of reasons, becomes distasteful. I find that to...
