We have been covering the Bible
by time sequence, phase by phase
OT1: Five Books of Laws incl Job.
OT2: History Up to King David
from Joshua to 1 Chron + Psalms
as well as Reign of King Solomon
in 2nd Chron & Wisdom Poetry.
In OT Phase 3, we see decline
of the two Divided Kingdoms.
OT3A: 1 Kings, Obadiah & Joel
OT3B: 2K1-17: Ministry of Jonah,
Amos, Hosea, Micah & Isaiah in run
up to Israel’s Dispersion in 722BC.
OT3C: 2 Kings 18-25 as well as
the ministry of 3 minor prophets:
Nahum, Zephaniah & Habakkuk
& ministry of Jeremiah in run up
to Judah’s Dispersion (605/586BC)
Continuing, Daniel presents a
majestic sweep of prophetic history
World powers come and go,
but God will establish His people
forever. Nowhere is this theme
more apparent than in the life
of Daniel, a young Jew transplanted
to Babylonia. His adventures
In the palace and the lion’s den
show that even in exile God has
not forgotten His chosen people.
Daniel’s dreams & interpretations
of others’ dreams convince Jew
and Gentile alike that wisdom
and power belong to God alone.
God is in control, not only of the
present, but of the future as well.
We will cover the book of Daniel
in one weekend under 2 divisions:
a) Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
and Daniel’s Faith (Dan 1-6)
b) Daniel’s Visions on the Beasts
and of the Man (Dan 7-12).
Look Out for devotion on Daniel
to strengthen your faith in God.
