Daniel 9
Daniel figures out a prophesy from Jeremiah about the end of Israel’s captivity in Babylon, and then is given yet another from Gabriel about the coming of the end of the age. 70 years, 70 weeks, 490 years… all leading to the time of the Lord’s millennial Kingdom! It’s still on the way, are you…

Job 12 – 14
Zophar is offended by Job’s words and says he is full of hot air. Job continues to defend himself, challenge his friends, and question his God. He remains faithful yet confused about what is happening.
Daniel 7 – 8
Pastor Carl takes us through two visions given to Daniel at the beginning of King Belshazzar’s reign. It’s a look at the purpose of Bible prophesy… if we can look back and see the fulfillment of prophesy in the past we can be sure of future prophesy yet to be fulfilled!

Daniel 5 – 6
Years after Nebuchadnezzar, King Belshazzar held a banquet using the holy utensils from the temple in Jerusalem with no regard to the God of Heaven… and he saw the writing on the wall! His days were numbered as well as the days of Babylon. That night Cyrus the Persian and Derius the Mede took over…

And Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges…
Daniel 1 – 2
After many warnings Israel is destroyed as a nation and taken captive by Babylon. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah are some of the young, strong, handsome and smart men that would be trained to serve King Nebuchadnezzar. Then the King has a dream none of his wise men could reveal or interpret… except for Daniel.
Job 4-7
