Chapter 9 Book Of Daniel

" The holy work of god has to be attended to and if we are crushed and humbled to the very dust, as also laughing stocks to all who know us, we must be faithful and look for rest and peace only in heaven"

Daniel’s character and dedication to the Lord stands out particularly in my favorite Bible lesson from my childhood, Daniel and the lion’s den. However, through only hearing a simple summarization of the account I missed details that the Holy Spirit purposefully brings out. These details paint a description of Daniel and challenged myself as well as my class.

It is Christ in us, crying that men may be succored and forgiven, even when He Himself is forsaken. " We must learn to forgive because we are forgiven. Christ

8. The church at Laodicea was condemned for being “lukewarm” (3:15). How does this detail likely reflect an aspect of the culture, etc. of this city in the first century?

Louis Valles Ms.Gelaude Religion 9 8 December 2016 The Book of Daniel is from the prophetic book in the Old Testament this book was written in 2nd Century BC. Daniel in this book is a prophet and a wise man he helped secure and helps tell his interpret his dreams and do many other things for him and there are other prophets in the book that helped him along this and some of them die. God is very present in this book because he speaks out and helps and saves Sam Wiseman in this book and through the 8 chapters is very alive and helps Daniel through all of these tough times.

The passage of Scripture being discussed in the following paper is Daniel 7:1-14. This chapter consists of three literary sections, first, chaos by the sea (7:1-8) followed by the heavenly courtroom (7:9-14), concluding with the visions divine victory and interpretation (7:15-28) which will not be addressed in this paper. The Christian canon locates the book of Daniel within its prophetic writings, however, the Jewish canon includes it within, “the Writings.” The book of Daniel doesn’t necessarily fit in either category, as it is widely considered within the literary category of apocalyptic literature which the subsequent sections of this paper will explore further. Daniel can be divided into three sections, based on language: a Hebrew introduction (Ch. 1); an Aramaic section (Ch. 2-7); and a Hebrew section (Ch. 8-12). Within these three language divisions exist two literary sections, first, the Tales (Ch. 1-6) followed by the Visions (Ch. 7-12). These two sections, though existing within the language divisions appear to have no corresponding connection.

The Book of Daniel is the only full-blown apocalyptic book in the Protestant recognized version of the Canon. A literary device divides the book into two halves. Chapters 1-6 are a collection of stories that introduces the reader to Daniel and three other Israelites as unwilling guests of the Babylonia Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. The second half, Chapters 7-12 consists of apocalyptic imagery of deformed beasts and the heavenly court. The focus of this paper will be on chapter 7, which serves as a bridge of the two halves. Chapter 7 is the earliest of the visions as it identifies with the genre of 8-12 while through language and content it reverts to Daniel chapter 2. The linguistic break down is not as neat as the literary divide in

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving to many is the hardest thing to do but we must remember in the book of Matthew (18:21-22) Peter said to the Lord: “Lord if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” In this paper, the chosen case study will give the reader a better understanding of what forgiveness is to Jesus. Forgiveness is a big part of the Bible and if Jesus forgives us of our sins we too must learn to be as forgiving as him.

From there, Ezekiel’s theme is focused on the condemnation of Israel for their sin. Ezekiel is also a prophecy that the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity are necessary measures for the God of grace to employ if He is to correct his disobedient people and

By the grace and mercy of God, He has made away of escape through Jesus Christ being made a curse for us when He was placed on the cross to take away our sin. God’s grace therefore abounds exceedingly in abundance without ever coming to an end, for it is His free gift given unto us by no worthiness on our behalf, only by what Christ Jesus did for us, Amen.

After the determination of God to destroy his enemies as mentioned in 1:6, it suddenly mentions about comfort to those who seek refuge in him in 1:7. Also, it says God cares for those who trust in him. Then in the next verse, the hymn moves back to the main theme of destruction. It shows a contrast of two destinies of those who take refuge of God and those who oppose God. Why it appears at this location? The commentary refers this verse as parallel with Psalm 34:8; 100:5 and 135:3 (p.24). It suggests the absence of any names in the prophecy means that people (of Jerusalem or of Nineveh) have to decide whether they want to be people to whom verse 7 applies (care) or people to whom verse 8 applies (destruct) (p.25). I do not agree it is a choice for the people of Nineveh as in verse 8 it mentions about the unequivocal ending of Nineveh.

His focus is the “authorizing strategies” for both dreams and visions found in canonical Daniel. Bickley concludes Second Temple authors based authorizing strategies on a “hierarchy of authority.” Daniel’s work is therefore authoritative because Yahweh chose Daniel; yet, implicit in this argument is an authority of revealed secrets—an authority on which Bickley previously touches, “The reader’s (by way of the visionary’s) portal to universal insight is closed—and the vision’s/Visionary’s final assertion of authority [the last five verses of Daniel] is made emphatically. He alone has access to these mysteries, and god alone is the one who determines when and to whom they are imparted.” For Bickley, then, Daniel is authoritative due to YHWH’s call and the revealed-secrets authoritative

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, You are Forgiven.

Sixth, a man should hope to forfeit sin and receive the gift of grace and the glory of heaven. This contrition should be universal. The second part of Penitence is confession, the sign of contrition. Confession is the showing of all sins to a priest. All sins stem from the original sin of Adam, and there are two types, venial sins and sins of deed. The latter occur when a man loves any creature more than Jesus. Venial sins occur when a man loves Jesus Christ less than he ought.

The Holy Spirit convicts no one to affliction. But a believer must appeal to HIM to know the devil’s schemes. When, the Comforter convicts, He moves us to repent. THE LORD always forgives! But after we confess and guilt still condemns, The Holy Spirit is not the source of forgiveness; you are condemning
