OCTOBER 28 “I saw in the night visions, and there was one like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him…His dominion is an everlasting dominion…” — Daniel 7:13-14

Daniel’s Vision of the Winds and Great Sea

Daniel had a dream in which he saw the rise of four nations, symbolized by four beasts, which came up from the Great Sea, which had been stirred up in great tumult by the four winds of heaven. So we see that first of all, looking at the origin of four kingdoms (the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman) that they are earthly in nature. They rise up from the sea and are contrasted with the kingdom of Christ, which is a kingdom that... More

OCTOBER 27 “Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night…Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another.” — Daniel 7:2-3

Same Empires, Different Views of Them

In the book of Daniel, two dreams are described. The first is Nebuchadnezzar’s and the second is Daniel’s. In these two dreams, the same four earthly kingdoms are described. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a great image whose head was of gold and whose shoulders and chest were of silver, loins of brass and its feet and legs of iron mixed with clay with ten toes. Scholars believe this was a vision of the four great... More

OCTOBER 26 “Do not be frightened by your adversaries. This is a sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and this from God.” — Philippians 1:28

Dealing With Persecutors

When Paul wrote the Philippian Christians in the first century, Christianity was illegal for the most part. In fact, during the Roman Empire, there were ten waves of serious persecution against the believers. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold—but always there. One of the incredible things about the Christians, which the Romans noted, is that they weren’t afraid. I remember reading a dialogue between a Christian who was chained to an... More

OCTOBER 25 “…be eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” — Ephesians 4:3

Work Together or Prepare to Lose

In Philippians, Paul tells us that we are to stand fast in one mind and one spirit, striving together for the faith of the Gospel. The word striving together in Greek is the word from which we get athletics, and in fact it would be a team sport, probably team wrestling. The Greeks had a form of wrestling where one team of 5 or 6 people would line up here, and the other team would line up there, and at a signal they would all leap at each... More

OCTOBER 24 “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant…” — Matthew 25:21

Ultimate Success

We only have one life. We have to make it count. But count for what? What is the purpose of life? We are deluged with positive thinking types of messages these days. Some of them are outwardly Christian. However, if you dig a little deeper, often you find essentially a humanistic message with a Christian veneer. The key question is this: In whom is our trust? Ourselves or God? Positive thinking beats negative thinking. But best of all, is... More

OCTOBER 23 “In the days of these kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” — Daniel 2:44

The Real King of Kings

Shelley, in one of his sonnets, tells of meeting a traveler from Egypt who, in a trek across the desert wasteland, came upon the remains of a marble statue. All that remained on the pedestal were two feet and the lower part of two gigantic legs. Lying in the sand was the cracked remnant of what had been the head. When the traveler rubbed the sand away from the pedestal, he found this inscription: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:... More

OCTOBER 22 “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” — Romans 1:22

A Fairy Tale for Adults

We know that many a young man or woman has lost his or her faith because they have come to believe that evolution is a proven fact. This is tragic—especially when you consider the scientific evidence itself. Micro-evolution (small changes within kind) is proven. But macro-evolution (all creatures can be traced back to one common ancestor) is fraught with assumptions and contradicts the evidence we have, such as the fossil record. One... More
