    The First Riddle: Part One

    October 25, 2020 /

    Much is said about the Bible and, unfortunately, most of it is faulty. The Book of Daniel is no exception; in fact, this book’s remarkable features have made it a magnet for mystics and skeptics alike. Fortunately, the Scripture is given to us as for our learning, so we can…

    The Third Unknown of Daniel 2: An Unknown Message

    October 18, 2020 /

    God chose a strange dreamer and an odd interpreter, so we should expect by now that the dream itself would be something off the charts. Let’s dig into this challenging dream, beginning with the question of relevance: why is this dream important anyway?

    So far, we’ve considered two of three remarkable features of Daniel 2. Both the unprecedented nature of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Daniel’s prophetic calling are meant to catch our attention. Why is it then that these developments are missed entirely by avid readers of Scripture? This question is worth considering, but…

    As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Daniel 1:17 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Daniel 2:1…

    Who doesn’t like “easy” when tools are involved? Speedy, simple installations and repairs are a big plus for me, but “wishes aren’t fishes,” and I find that most hardware jobs are much more difficult than they appear. Objects rust and clog, drill bits break, and kits arrive lacking the hardware…

    God had yet another surprise in store for captive Israel, embodied in the form of an impromptu prophet. Daniel came out of nowhere and became a prophet unlike any before him. In fact, had the Lord Jesus not called him a prophet (Mt. 24:15) we might have wondered what to…

    Familiarity breeds contempt—especially in Bible study! The story of Daniel’s miraculous interpretation of the king’s dream is standard issue material for Sunday Schools and required reading for almost any study on prophecy. But for all its familiarity, this passage presents three key unknowns, which we would do well to consider.…

    The bright orange nozzle is still fresh in my memory. My high school lab was surrounded by counters and sinks, but not one of them matched the teacher’s sink, which stood at the front of the lab, marked out with a large, orange-capped hose hanging directly above it.

    The king queried his unwanted guest in a skeptical tone that only thinly veiled the frustration that featured prominently in his sharp eyes and grave demeanor. Seated on his throne, he was not unlike an eagle on a high perch, seemingly inactive yet unquestionably dangerous.
