It is important to note how the diverseness of the Fourth Empire is continually emphasized. For this diverseness Daniel seeks a meaning. He further wishes to know the meaning of the ten horns and finally the little horn. In requesting this, Daniel is given further information regarding the activity of the little horn; he causes three of the ten horns to fall, he speaks great things, he wars against the saints and is allowed to prevail over them. But finally he is personally defeated by the coming of the Ancient of Days. Once the judgment is passed on the little …

1 Samuel 16:12-17 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. 15 And Saul’s servants said unto …

Spiritual growth is slow. But if we are committed to maturing, we will see fruit HEBREWS 5:11-14 11 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But …

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

GOD’S FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY TO ISRAEL SINCE THE TIME OF CHRIST By Thomas S. McCall Th.D. We often hear of Bible prophecy as it relates to the First and Second Coming of Christ, which is very important, but there is much more Bible prophecy concerning what the Lord is doing between the two Advents of Jesus during the Church Age. These prophecies specifically pertain to God’s ancient covenant people, Israel, and His new covenant people, the Church. This article explains God’s preservation of, and promises to the Jewish people throughout the Church Age, in preparation for the ultimate restoration of …

God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. (II Cor. 5:19) Reconciliation is the bringing of two parties together – the Greek word means, “to exchange enmity for friendship.” But take note: You will NEVER read in the Bible that God needed to be reconciled to man. God was never at enmity against man. Rather, it is man who is at enmity against God, and thus, it is man who needed to be reconciled to God. Jesus Christ reconciled the world to God by His finished work. But not by changing God. Rather, …

By Grant Phillips We have so much to thank Israel for. This Jewish nation should always be on our lips in prayer, thanking God for her existence. Without her, we would not exist. Because of the Jew we have not only the Old Testament that informs us about the one true God, but also the New Testament that clarifies Him even more. Everything about the Bible we Christians cherish, came from our Jewish friends. Almighty God chose a man named Abram (later changed to Abraham by God) and began the nation we know today as Israel. God showed us Himself …
