Download or read book The Unfulfilled Prophecy of Daniel 9 written by William S. Stob and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there have been critics of Scripture in general and the book of Daniel in particular since the earliest times, the attacks became more frequent and vocal with the emphasis on science, which blossomed and grew during and after the Enlightenment of the 18th century. Only that which could be observed and experienced through one's natural senses was of importance; the supernatural was to be doubted. Consequently, in view of the accuracy of the specific events foretold to Daniel regarding the 70 weeks (490 years) determined upon his people and the holy city, many commentators claimed the book was really written centuries after Daniel's time. In other words, they considered the book an historical account, clothed in the garb of prophecy. Yet Christ attributed the authorship of Daniel to the person whose name it bears (cf. Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14).The prophecy of the 70 weeks has engaged the attention of the wisest and the best of commentators for many centuries, yet the exact dates of the events foretold have never met with any consensus. Although it contains what no other prophecy contains--a prediction of the time when the Messiah was to be crucified--the date has never been exactly computed to the satisfaction of all concerned. As such this book presents three typical interpretations of the 70 weeks: (1) an amillennial explanation, (2) a prophetic or lunar year interpretation, and (3) a common or solar year analysis.The main difference of opinion lies in the nature of the 70th week (the last seven years) of the prophecy. The amillennialist is convinced that God has no future plans for the Jewish nation, apart from a future judgment, and consequently sees the entire prophecy fulfilled at the time of Christ or at least no later than the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The dispensationalist, on the other hand, believing God is not finished with His chosen people, sees the final week as yet in the future--the fulfillment of which will take place during the Great Tribulation, as described in the book of Revelation.

Download or read book The Bible s Uniqueness written by Gregory Brown and published by . This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though every year the Bible is the world's most popular, purchased, and translated book, the majority of people reading the Bible have never deeply studied it, and even among those who have, many still have numerous, lingering questions, such as: "Who wrote it?" "Is it historically reliable?" "How were the books of the Bible selected?" "Is it possible that some books are missing or that others will be added?" "What is the over-arching storyline of the Bible and its primary message?" "How do we study the Bible?" "Why are there so many translations?" and "Which is the best translation?" The Bible's Uniqueness: An Introduction to Scripture answers these questions and more. In addition, strong apologetic evidence for the supernatural nature and absolute trustworthiness of Scripture is provided throughout-both to convince skeptics and increase the faith of believers. Let's learn about the Bible's uniqueness together with the Bible Teacher's Guide."The Bible Teacher's Guide ... will help any teacher study and get a better background for his/her Bible lessons. In addition, it will give direction and scope to teaching of the Word of God. Praise God for this contemporary introduction to the Word of God." -Dr. Elmer Towns; Co-founder of Liberty University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not with any pretension of having discovered something new that I have prepared this volume. I am glad to acknowledge my indebtedness to many sober, spiritually-minded teachers of the Word who in years gone by saw clearly many truths as to God’s prophetic plan which later writers and teachers have obscured in large measure. While I do not expect all my readers to agree with me, I humbly ask that, like the Berean Jews of old, they do not reject this testimony without careful inquiry, but that they search the Scriptures to see whether these things are so. Personally, they have been a part of my own thinking for so many years and have meant so much to me in my study of the Word of God that I am eager to have others enter into them, too. On the other hand, I have no desire to press anything that is not substantiated by Scripture. “We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” And in the Old Testament it is written: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Download or read book Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ written by Harold W. Hoehner and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jesus Christ entered into the history of our world. Christianity, therefore, has historical basis. The backbone of history is chronology. Whereas history is a systematic account of events in relation to a nation, institution, science, or art; chronology is a science of time. It seeks to establish and arrange the dates of past events in their proper sequence. Thus chronology serves as a necessary framework upon which the events of history must be fitted. In this book (the author) attempts to establish certain fixed dates in our Lord's life." - Dr. Harold W. Hoehner. Dr. Hoehner has gathered a vast amount of data, both from Scripture and extrabiblical sources, to support his conclusions concerning key dates in the life of our Lord, among them: - The Date of Christ's Birth - The Commencement of Christ's Ministry - The Duration of Christ's Ministry - The Year of Christ's Crucifixion He carefully documents his position and compares the date available--including a study of Greek words, Roman law, and Jewish customs and prophecy.

Download or read book A Rabbi Looks at Jesus of Nazareth written by Jonathan Bernis and published by Chosen Books. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised in a traditional Jewish family, international television host Jonathan Bernis was taught from a young age that "Jews don't--and can't!--believe in Jesus." Yet in his study of the Bible, including the Torah, he found overwhelming evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really was the Jewish Messiah. With warmth and transparency, Bernis talks about discovering Jesus in history, too, and how it was that the Jewish Yeshua became the Gentile Jesus. By presenting historic evidence that Jesus is Messiah and refuting common Jewish objections, Bernis gives Christians the knowledge and tools they need to share their Lord with their Jewish friends in a loving, effective way.

Book excerpt: He was one of the most popular lay preachers and Christian apologists of his day: Sir Robert Anderson devoutly believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, and in this popular 1881 book-a companion to his Daniel in the Critics' Den-he mounts a defense of the prophetic Old Testament Book of Daniel, an early example of apocalyptic philosophy in Christianity.

And anyone interested in the apocalyptic fervor of modern-day fundamentalist Christianity will find this an instructive and enlightening read.

Download or read book Breakthrough Analysis of Daniel s Prophecies written by R. Allan Dermott and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2023-04-16 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about the possible relevance of Bible prophecies to our lives today? In this book, you will find new perspectives to consider on the prophecies of Daniel and related history. These viewpoints may lead to seeing our world in a different light. Stepping away from preconceived ideas about prophecies, in general, and Daniel’s visions, in particular, give new perspective based on decades of study, prayer and insightful contemplation. Compelling insights bring to light precisely how these prophetic dates are interrelated, how they have significant meaning, and may have implications for our lives today. Even though the Biblical book of Daniel was written millennia ago, interest in its meaning for faith and the heart remain. A broader perspective and the lens of history brings additional context and reconsideration to earlier interpretations. Without these perspectives, some tended to have been taken piecemeal, out of context, or viewed without an understanding of the role of each element in their interrelation to the whole. This book reexamines many of these and more, and, based upon a review of literature, no book is found that matches the comprehensive nature regarding each of Daniel’s nine prophetic spans. Dr. Dermott brings out the meanings behind each date, and he correlates Biblical authorities with each other and with further compelling and original research. The narrative invites you to join this exciting journey and experience the exceptionally detailed unfoldment from each beginning prophetic date to its undeniable fulfillment in history.
