Daniel 4 to 6 Daniel served under several kings and knew the ways of God because he spent time with God three times a day. Nebuchadnezzar was a wise king, but foolishly, he ignored the advice to repent of his sin, and God called him to account. Daniel interpreted the visual lesson of the handwriting […]
Daniel 1 to 3 When confronted with what seems an impossible request, what do you choose to do? Many are standing up or choosing to be vaccinated. What do you do? Do as Daniel and the three Hebrews did, go to God in prayer. “O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you, for […]
Joel 1 to 3 Joel describes the advanced guard of locusts sent to destroy the land and crops. Judah has faced yet another onslaught of the enemy Babylon as he describes the locusts. Whether real or imaginary they are those things that come to seek, kill and destroy. How like our arch enemy Satan! Secondly, […]
Ezekiel 47God forbade Adam and Eve to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden. God removed them from that beautiful garden when they chose to disobey for He had said: “you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will […]
Ezekiel 44 God is very clear about those who will seek His presence. Paul wrote to the Ephesian church; remember you, who are called the “uncircumcision” by the so-called “circumcision,” were without the Messiah, alienated from the covenant of promise, without hope, and without God. But, now you are brought near by the blood of […]
Ezekiel 43 Do you meet with God each day? Is your meeting casual or reverent? In Chapter 1, when Ezekiel had his first vision, he was by the River Chebar, and there he fell on his face. In Ezekiel 43, he again falls on his face. When John saw the risen Christ, he too fell […]
Ezekiel 40 Docents help us to visualize what could have been or what will be when visiting a historical site. For example, Ezekiel has been a docent for the captives as a faithful prophet, and he has shown the elders and the people through drama why they are in Babylon. But like then, they and […]
Ezekiel 38 As spectators, we watch but find it hard to comprehend the events portrayed here. We have many questions as to who Gog and Magog are. Through the centuries, the biblical authors ask why so many are angry against God’s people? Ezekiel is but the proclaimer, and we are but spectators like at a […]
Ezekiel 37 Once Dead; now Alive! In rereading this chapter, I am reminded of Ephesians 2:1, 5 ” And although you were dead in your offenses and sins..(God) made us alive together with Christ—by grace you are saved! Paul reminds the Ephesians that they “were dead” but no longer are because of the power of […]
Ezekiel 34 From Genesis to Revelation, each author presents a picture of Jesus. In Psalm 23, He is “my” Shepherd; in John 10, He is the “Good” Shepherd. Long before John wrote, Ezekiel paints the Good Shepherd picture in contrast to the self-indulgent false shepherds who did not care for the sheep. They had plundered […]
