Angels in a hurry, and prayer promises we (dare not?) believe. All come together, presaging the introduction to Daniel's Seventieth Week. See the entire series at https://jayfaubion.com/danielseries/

Daniel fulfills prophecy to break the curse on the nation of Israel from Leviticus chapter 26. Why did the seventy-year Babylonian captivity take place? Is God really sovereign in all His doings?

Daniel, chapter 9, has two major themes. The first is prayer. Not just any prayer, but the kind of prayer that God requires to restore the nation. Study to Daniel fulfill prophecy and pray the prayer that will restore the nation of Israel to the land. The second major theme, all the in the last four verses, is Daniel's Seventieth Week. We'll say more when we get to that major study.

We conclude the Eighth chapter of Daniel today. Much info about the antichrist, the church and the meanings of words like "Destroy", "Prevail" and more. This chapter was done in five parts. Some were stitched together in the last part, and this is the fifth, final part. You can see all the videos, get the handouts and access to all resources at https://jayfaubion.com/danielseries/

This lesson covers one of the most controversial verses in the book. That's Daniel 8:14. Entire cult eschatologies have been built on the misinterpretation of this verse. Jump in with us and let's see what the Lord has for us.

In Part 1 of Chapter 8, we do some heavy lifting in Daniel's prophecy. Filling in the blanks, we look briefly at the Persian invasion of Greece, learn about the fury that powered Alexander the Great's invasion of the Persian empire, and are amazed at the absolute dependability and precision of Bible prophecy.

We conclude chapter 7 with a hard look at the fourth beast, the general timeline of the seventieth week, and the deliverance given the people of God when God cuts the Great Tribulation short. The deliverance occurs pre-wrath, of course.

The angel begins to interpret the vision for Daniel. Now we can check our own interpretations against the one God has revealed. Include some hints about the pre-wrath rapture taught in the Scriptures.

The four beast kingdoms in more depth. We look at the animal characteristics of the beast kingdoms. These are given to us, as prophecy students, so that we may be able to identify these entities when they arise.

We now embark on one of the richest prophetic portions of God's Word. Daniel 7 is foundational to understanding the Book of Revelation. That book, in turn, informs our understanding of Daniel. This is truly "Scripture commenting on Scripture." In this chapter we are introduced to the "four beasts from the sea," a picture of Antichrist's end-time world kingdom. We look at his wars, his conquests, and begin to understand how it is that he will enjoy the worship of the entire fallen world. "Who is able to make war with him!" the world exclaims. "The thief cometh not, but to steal, to kill, and destroy." This is Antichrist. His doom is sure, but he "has a little time" before it concludes with him being cast into the Lake of Fire. Study along with us. Learn all you can. The Lord Jesus said of this book, "Let him who readeth, understand!"

Daniel is thrown into the den of hungry lions to die. His crime? Found guilty of praying to the Living God.

Chapter Five, Complete. The Writing on the Wall! Everyone knows the term, but did you know it came from God's Word? See how God set up kings, and deposes them. In everything, God should be glorified.

The writing is on the wall! Belshazzar completely loses it when the hand appears. This is a great lesson to every nation that turns its back on God. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."

This is Nebuchadnezzar's personal testimony of being humbled before God. An amazing story, written by the ruler of the known world, the king of Babylon. It's written in Aramaic, the language of the Babylonian Empire.

Out of the fire! If that wasn't amazing, see what happens next. The King's word is changed. Stupendous... And all because three believers "presented their bodies as living sacrifices," Romans 12:1-3. Plus some Bonus Material as a warning against believing superstition.

Nebuchadnezzar sets up a golden image and demands it be worshipped. God's people refuse, and face the consequence of being burned alive. What's the right response?

The head of gold, the chest of silver, the belly of bronze, the legs of iron and the final image kingdom of the feet and toes. Where is God going with all this? And what then of the stone that breaks them all to pieces? The kingdom that shall be eternal?

Nebuchadnezzar begins to learn what it is to be humbled before a sovereign God. The grand vision given to him upon his bed is fully revealed, and Daniel continues with the meanings of the heavenly symbols. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome are to follow with their empires. And one more... one that will fill the entire earth.

The chapter begins with a great lesson in prayer. The kind of praying when you need an answer RIGHT NOW.

Continuing the story of Daniel, and completing chapter 1. This is Part Two. In part one, we looked at the first eight verses. This completes the chapter. Daniel, Chapter 1 is eminently practical. There is little prophetic significance to the chapter. However, for the believer who wants some serious lessons in practical Christian living, there are few places in God's Word as rich as this. This is the story of a (probably) sixteen year-old young man who loses everything, yetpurposes in his heart that he will not defile himself. And in doing that, he does not quit when the going gets tough. If he had quit, he would have missed the richest blessings of God. No wonder the old hymn writer Philip P. Bliss wrote "Dare To Be A Daniel" in 1873: Standing by a purpose true, Heeding God’s command, Honor them, the faithful few! All hail to Daniel’s band! Refrain: Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone! Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known. Many mighty men are lost, Daring not to stand, Who for God had been a host By joining Daniel’s band. Many giants, great and tall, Stalking through the land, Headlong to the earth would fall, If met by Daniel’s band. Hold the Gospel banner high! On to vict’ry grand! Satan and his hosts defy, And shout for Daniel’s band.

We cover the first eight verses of the chapter. The key is that Daniel, only fifteen or sixteen years old, "purposes in his heart that he will not defile himself..." A great lesson on persevering in faith even when the worst of times comes upon you.

From the Faith Bible Investigators Bible Class at Faith Baptist Church, Danville, Indiana. We're presenting the Book of Daniel the Prophet: Every chapter, every verse, every line.

After all the high drama of the rapture, the Day of the Lord, Paul reaches a calming point. Of course, there's that thing about lazy Christians coming...

No other chapter in God's Word has so influenced my understanding of the gathering of God's people (the Rapture) as this one (2 Thessalonians Chapter 2). The rapture position in this video may not represent the official position of Faith Baptist Church. I take opportunity to do a short introduction to the Pre-Wrath Rapture position here. This is my personal position, based on serious, prayerful and constant study of the Bible.
