We will continue to explore what Daniel has to say to us about living-testimony in Babylon (at a time and place where truth is said to have no absolutes). Our study this time will look at the prophetic shape of the book that foretells what imperial Gentile Power will look like throughout History until the end of the age. “The End of the Age,” Daniel goes through “ends,” leading up to the Time Of The End.
Lessons will include the following:
1- A discussion of spiritual discernment from symbols, metaphors, and code.
2- Who is Babylon?—Could it be that today we too are living in an emerging Babylon?
3- Why must Babylon be judged?
4- How are we to live our testimony with understanding and wisdom?
5- Two Dreams in Tension: (one Nebuchadnezzar's, one Daniel’s)
6- Babylonian Boasting:(Nebuchadnezzar and another Imperial power known as the Little Horn)
7- Jerusalem and the Future: (Daniel's Code— the seventy weeks and the Seventieth week)
8- Restorative Justice: (Glory and Desolation for Jerusalem)
9- The Book of Truth
10- The Time of the End of Kings, “gods” and then, The Great King and His Eternal Kingdom
