Let’s say that a visitor from another galaxy, through a malfunction of his teleportation device, dropped into our world this morning. He is totally unfamiliar with our solar system; he didn’t even know that it existed. But his highly developed technology...

Before we move on to the next chapter, I’d like us to take a step back for a few moments. In these three verses we have an illustration of the work of the evangelist. This is something not confined to 500 BC and the work of Daniel, or to 50 AD and the work of...

On the night that the great city of Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians, the king of Babylon was enjoying a feast with a thousand of his family, his lords and his associates. He was probably thinking – foolishly thinking – that his city was safe and...

I suppose that I could find the same thing on the internet, but some of my old habits still linger. I used to collect, and still possess a great many different kinds of reference books. Quite often in the past when I went into a book store, whether new or used books,...

This evening I’d like to tie together some loose ends before moving on. I believe that we’ve sufficiently covered the importance and the lessons of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. But there are some things which I think are fascinating, and which if...

Last week, I was unsure that we were going to return to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream today. As I had said, in looking at its various parts we were eventually going to grasp the entire dream. And in some ways we have done that. But reading it over again, it seemed to...

I keep thinking to myself that we are going eventually study Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, but the more time that I spend on this chapter, the less likely that appears to be. It is impossible to cut pieces off this dream, and to study the parts, without taking a...
