Nebuchadnezzar built an idol of himself, and threw Daniel into the fire for not worshipping. Dr. Eckman leads discussion on how God changed Nebuchadnezzar’s heart.
We discuss The Dream of Nebuchadnezzar: the King’s threat to his court, how Daniel prayed for insight to know & interpret the King’s dream, and how this dream revealed a broad framework for history.
Dr. Eckman begins a new bible study on the book of Daniel, beginning with Daniel’s exile to Babylon, and his education & training under King Nebuchadnezzar.
We complete our study of 2 Thessalonians, with Paul’s encouragement to believers to live holy & productive lives.
Paul reminds us that God loves His people & we are in the process of being sanctified. We are reminded to hold fast to His teachings, and encourage others to consider to the Gospel of the Lord.
In 2nd Thessalonians 2, we have a brief summary of the End times, including discussion of events that must occur before the judgments of the Day of the Lord.
Paul reminds the Thessalonian people of his teachings on end times & discusses ‘The Man of Lawlessness’. We are reminded to set aside fears & wonders of this coming time, and to focus the promise that Jesus will return for His people.
2 Thessalonians 1:8 states “He will punish those who do not know God.” Dr Eckman takes us to Romans 1, 2, & 3 to discuss this verse & give understanding on ‘being accountable to the Light received.”
Paul’s 2nd letter to the Thessalonians begins with comfort & understanding for the people of this Church enduring much suffering. Paul encourages them that their faith & love grows during such times, and that such difficulties are evidence of their righteous judgement.
Paul concludes his 1st letter to the Thessalonian people, reminding us to hold fast to what is good, turn from sin, and to live our lives according to the promises & hope that our Lord Jesus Christ offers.
