    Hi Gigi.

    Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but here's a few of many references of a future Kingdom here on earth.

    Revelation 5:10

    And have made us kings and priests to our God;

    AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH.

    Psalm 2:6-8

    "Yet I have set My King

    On My holy hill of Zion." "I will declare the decree:

    The LORD has said to Me,

    'You are My Son,

    Today I have begotten You.

    Ask of Me, and I will give You

    The nations for Your inheritance,

    And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

    Daniel 2:34-35

    You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH.



    Zechariah 14:9-11.

    Zechariah 14:16-19

    And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

    Matthew 6:10

    Your kingdom come.

    Your will be done

    "ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."

    Matthew 5:5.

    Matthew 25:31-34.

    Isaiah 2:2.

    Jeremiah 30:10.

    Ezekiel 34:25-31.

    Daniel 2:44.

    Micah 4:1-2.

    Zechariah 8:1-3.

    Revelation 11:5.

    God bless you.

    Goodnight.

    Daniel 2:34 shows how the stone will crush all world empires (symbolized by the various metals in the human figure from Nebuchadnezzar's dream). This shows the stone as symbolic of Christ; THE Rock who will come back and vanquish His enemies and grind them to powder (see Malachi 4:3). Those who are stubborn will be broken suddenly; and without remedy. ( Prov. 6:15).

    We are to have a broken and contrite spirit ( Psalm 51:17). That is "falling on the rock". Again; those who would not have Him rule over them will be killed ( Luke 19:27). Thence; our rebellion needs to be broken and our old selves made dead through a new heart replacing a stony one ( Ezekiel 36:26). This allows purification and refining through sanctification whereas a stone remains hardened and is thus crushed to powder. This will be the fate of an individual as well as a nation (or empire) as a whole that is left behind in the Tribulation ultimately; those "earth dwellers" used in Revelation 3:10 and apparently in 8 other verses in that book. That shows where the heart of men as well as their physical presence is if they are "not written in the Book of Life" ( Rev. 13:8) and the end result is to worship the final "Beast" who is an amalgamation of the previous 4 empires (Babylon; Greece; Persia and Rome). This also is shown in a prototype with the image in Daniel 3 which was commanded to be worshipped.

    Hi Verleen innis,

    I will give my understanding,

    Your first question; is there anywhere in the heavens or the earth that God cannot be, Psalm 139:7-10 Proverbs 15:3 Jeremiah 23:23-24 Hebrews 4:13 Isaiah 6:3. But is the universe, the earth, and everything on the earth a manifestation of God? NO that is Pantheism and is forbidden in the Bible as idol worship, if everything is God it can be worshiped.

    His dwelling place is in heaven that is above heaven (universe) and earth, beyond and outside of the physical universe, 1 Kings 8:30 1 Kings 8:43 2 Chr. 20:6 Psalm 11:4 Daniel 2:28 Matt. 5:16 Matt. 6:9. God gave His only begotten Son to die for us, John 3:16 God by the Holy Spirit can dwell in us if we accept Jesus as our savior we are cleansed by His blood, Romans 8:9-11 1 Cor. 3:16

    God can see everything and take action anywhere, Prov. 15:3 Heb. 4:13 but God is everywhere at once? He is in that he is aware of everything in the physical universe both past, present, and future, and he can turn his attention to anyone or anything at any time.

    Has anyone seen God? Moses came the closest, God showed him His backside, Exodus 33:12-23. No man in the flesh can see God's face and live, John 1:18 John 4:12 1 Tim. 6:16. We will see His face after the resurrection in our immortal and incorruptible body, Rev 22:4.

    How can one Know that God exists? The Bible: He has revealed things to us, and the evidence is convincing if anyone is willing to consider the evidence. History also confirms many things that were prophesied in the Bible long before they happened. The word of God is the truth, and the Holy Spirit will reveal it to those with an open mind and open heart who honestly want the truth.

    This is my understanding in love may it help, search and pray for yours.

    God bless,

    Hey Bulletpencil,

    My understanding, Jesus coming, the Messiah/Christ was not a secret, Daniel 9:25 prophesied when He would come. Jesus came to fulfill the prophets and the law, and when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus, and Jesus was filled without measure, John 3:34.

    John the Baptist proclaimed it, John 1:34 and His disciples did as well, John 1:41 Jesus told the woman at the well He was the Messiah, John 25:25-26 and Martha John 11:27. It was confirmed by all the miracles Jesus did by the Spirit of God, Matt. 12:28 the kingdom of God has come, but the death and resurrection were, at that time a secret/mystery, Rom. 11:25.

    The kingdom of God has come, John said it was at hand, Matt. 3:1-2. After John was put in prison Jesus came preaching Mark 1:14-15. The mystery of the kingdom; they were looking for the stone to crush Rome and the kingdom would be set up then Daniel 2:44, but it was like the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast Matt. 13, increasing even today until the crushing blow at Jesus second coming.



    The disciples knew Jesus was the Messiah/Christ, so I am sure that was part of their preaching, but Jesus' death and resurrection were hidden even from the disciples Luke 9:45. We see how they fled when Jesus was arrested, Matt. 26:56, and they did not believe He resurrected Mark 16:10-11 Luke 23:10-11 it was hidden from them for if Satan had known the results, he would have tried to stop it.

    Jesus spoke mainly to the Pharisees and Sadducees in parables to fulfill the prophecy, Matt. 13:10-15 Mark 4:10-13 Luke 8:10. The mystery was not revealed until after Jesus was resurrected as Jesus told them the Holy Spirit would bring remembrance and teaching to them John 14:26 John 16:3-4 Romans 11:25 Romans 16:25 the promise to Abraham Genesis 17:4-7 and that seed was Jesus the Messiah/Christ.

    This is my understanding may someone else have another, pray and study for your understanding.

    God bless,

  • T Levis - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 1 year ago
    Ddjot,

    Chris gave a good answer, I'd like to add to the discussion. Please note the verse right before, Jeremiah 29:11, Jeremiah 29:10, sometimes we want GOD to change our situations "right now", sometimes HE does, but I believe this promise, is for GOD's people when we need the encouragement for the troubled times & endurance in longer seasons. Notice in Daniel, he & his companions had went through many difficult moments but GOD in miraculous ways delivered them, protected them & even encouraged them. I believe it was after Daniel was thrown in the lions den that he fasted & humbly prayed about the promise made in Jeremiah 29:10,11, Daniel 9:1,2,3, still waiting on that promise of 70 years,

    note Daniel 6:1,2,3, (for why I place the timing, seemingly after lions den) the noted scriptures referring to about Daniel's encouragement, & companions, some say "the greater the trial the greater the miraculous": Daniel 1:8,9,17, Daniel 2:12,13,17,23 Daniel 3:12-27, Daniel 4:19,24,25, Daniel 5, Daniel 6:7,10,16,22,28, Daniel 9:23, Daniel 10:11,12,18, Daniel 11:1,

    Luke 10:19, there are moments that are painful but when we look at Salvation, the pruning, witness to strengthen the Body of Believers, then we realize it didn't "hurt us".

    I hope these scriptures give you strength & hope= 1Peter 4:12,13, 2Corinthians 1:3-7, John 15:1-2, 1Corinthians 4:5, 2Corinthians 3:2, Zechariah 13:9, Malachi 3:3, 2Timothy 2:10, Psalms 30:5,

    In correction= Isaiah 48:10,11, Malachi 3:2, Proverbs 3:11-35, Hebrews 12:7, 2Thessalonians 1:4,

    Endure even undue trials= 2Timothy 2:3, 2Timothy 4:5, remember Timothy was with Paul in ministry during persecution. 1Peter 2:19, Mark 13:13, James 5:10,11,

    James 5:13-18, 2Chronicles 7:14,

    Hopefully these are helpful & encouraging

    The Chaldeans were people that inhabited the wider Mesopotamia region, mainly in todays Irak. like the Babylonians. Their language was called Chaldean or Aramaic.
  • Abigail on Daniel 2 - 2 years ago
    In chapter 1: 4, it says that they should teach the language of the chaldeans. And aso in chapter 2:2, it says the king commanded the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So i want to know if the Chaldeans are people or a language.
  • T. Levis - In Reply on Prayer of Azariah 1 - 2 years ago
    Dorothy,

    Hello, I couldn't find Jaszer but Jasher is mentioned in 2Samuel 1:18, & Joshua 10:13 as a book recording those events also.

    If you're referring to the book you were reading from when you asked the question, (the website sited) Prayer of Azariah, = Azariah seems to be Daniel 1:6,7,11,19, Daniel 2:17, Daniel 3:12-30, reminder names changed in Daniel 1:6,7,

    Also appears to be one returning to help rebuild the wall: Nehemiah 3:24, Nehemiah 7:7, Nehemiah 8:7, also seemingly helping people understand GOD's laws,

    Hopefully these are helpful
  • Giannis - In Reply - 2 years ago
    OK, brother Alex, lets keep going.

    You quoted 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 and explained it as this implies that there is going to be a second church doctrine not like the early churche's one which, the latter, is not quite the truth. But look at verse 12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." What does the expression "face to face" mean? It means we will see God face to face. So these verses about the perfect to come are meant for the time we will eventually enter Heaven and see God face to face and get to know Him, know about Heavenly things etc, not partly as we know those now. Prophesies, tongues etc will cease, no reason for these to exist any more, but love will remain, it is the only thing from this world which will accompany us in Heaven.

    In addition to the above please read how apostle Paul describes the church to Timothy, the church in his time. 1 Timothy 3:14-15 "These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the PILLAR AND GROUND THE TRUTH." That early church!

    Now lets go to that statue in Daniel's book. Please read verses Daniel 2:36-45. It is obvious that talks about the kingdoms/countries that will rule the world untill the Kingdom of God finally comes. Daniel tells the king what is going to happen after him, see verse 29. The statue starts with Nebuchadnezzar's rule and ends with the last kingdom on earth. It goes from Babylon to ... Rome to the country of antichrist omitting the ones in between because those 2000 years are the times of the gentiles.

    I still do not get where it states about a second church true doctrine. Paul says that christians in the future will believe what is nice to their ears ( 2 Timothy 4:3-4), which means that false beliefs amongst us in the future are to come/came.

    End for now...

    Brother Don:

    Man DOES NOT have free will.

    Man was made to be a BODY; or a vessel.

    Vessels, or bodies, have NO LIFE.

    Bodies, or vessels, were made to HOLD the LIFE of GOD.

    God is Spirit.

    Spirit cannot be seen.

    God created a BODY; Jesus Christ, that can be seen.

    The body of Christ HOLDS the Life of the FATHER.

    Christ came, as sinful flesh, and sinful flesh DIED on the cross, three days latter the Father resurrected, HIS (the father's) BODY, Christ.

    1 Timothy 6:16 Who (Christ) ONLY hath immortality dwelling in the light .....

    All mankind took part in that resurrection.

    At some point in time God's creation will become the IMAGE (the body) of Christ.

    Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery .....Christ in you .....

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Christ in you) that worketh IN YOU (his body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    1 Corinthians 15:38 For God GIVETH IT (his creation) A BODY as it hath PLEASED HIM, and to every SEED HIS OWN BODY ( the Father's body Christ).

    HIS WILL, not man's free will, because man has NO LIFE outside of GOD, man is just the BODY of Christ (Life and Truth).

    Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye (his body) are gods, the children of the most high.

    Psalms 136:2 O give thanks unto the GOD of gods (God's body) .....

    Daniel 2:47 .....of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods ....

    John 17:21 That they (the bodies) may ALL be ONE, as thou, Father are IN ME (the body), and I in thee, that they (all bodies) may be ONE IN US ....

    Ephesians 4:4 ..... ONE BODY ....ONE SPIRIT .....

    Ephesians 4:6 .... ONE GOD ....FATHER OF ALL ....above ALL ....through ALL ....and IN YOU ALL .....

    Hosea 4:6 For my people are destroyed for lack of KNOWLEDGE: because thou has rejected KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee (his body) ......

    Amos 3:3 Can TWO (the LIFE and the BODY) walk TOGETHER without being agreed?

    God Bless you, his body!

    Shane:

    You ask, how powerful is that darkness?

    How powerful is that light, there are from the same source?

    That light is TRUTH.

    That light is LIFE.

    Flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God.

    The kingdom of God, is a kingdom of gods, IN THE AGE TO COME. We are being brought to TRUTH (to Christ) in this AGE of GRACE.

    Psalms 82:6 For I have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high.

    Psalms 136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods .....

    Daniel 2:47 .....Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods .....

    John 14:6 Jesus said unto them, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man (flesh and blood) cometh to the Father but by me.

    1 Timothy 16:6 WHO (CHRIST) ONLY hath IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the LIGHT which no man (flesh and blood) hath seen, nor can see ........

    Shane, flesh and blood, has to be DESTROYED by HIS COMING (truth and life): TO YOU.

    LIGHT, truth and life, hath SHINED INTO DARKNESS (MAN).

    The OLD, flesh and blood, MAN; DIED on the cross of Calvary, the NEW; flesh and bone, MAN arose from DEATH.

    YOU, when you depart this flesh and blood body, YOU will be a NEW CREATION: LIFE AND TRUTH, just like Christ.

    Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery .....Christ in you .....

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Christ in you, truth and life, in you) that worketh IN YOU (his body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    1 Corinthians 15:38 But God GIVETH it (the NEW MAN) a body as it has pleased him, to every SEED HIS (Christ's) OWN BODY.

    All of this is A GIFT, given to us, by the WORKINGS of the CROSS.

    God Bless You!

    Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters (seas) which thou sawest, where the whore setteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    Daniel 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of a mountain made without hands ....

    Hebrews 12:22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, and unto a company of innumerable angels.

    Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

    Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire.

    Exodus 7:17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shall know that I am the LORD, Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in thine hand the waters (peoples, nations) that are in the river, and they shall turn into blood.

    Dear brothers/sisters

    In Daniel's Book ( Daniel 2:31-45) the last kingdom in earth's history that will rule on earth is described:

    V40 - And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

    V41 - And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

    V42 - And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

    V43 - And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

    Assuming that we live at the very end of this world, what do you think, which modern nation/country looks like that kingdom?

    My opinion, as well as many christians' over here, is that it looks like the European Union, what do you think about it?

    Sister GiGi, every Word God has ever spoken WILL COME TO PASS.

    This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to understand, and believe, MOSSES and THE PROPHETS.

    The Spirit of Christ prophesied that ONLY ONE THIRD (vessels of honour) of creation would be CALLED in this age of GRACE (the DAY OF THE LORD).

    Ezekiel 5:1 .....then take three balances and weigh, and DIVIDE the hair ....( Revelation 6:5-6)

    Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall burn the THIRD PART in the midst of the city ....(you are the new Jerusalem of God)

    Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shall also take thereof a FEW IN NUMBER, and bind them in thy skirts ( Psalms 133:2).

    Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them (the few) and cast them into the FIRE ( Malachi 3:2-3), and burn them (the few) in the FIRE; for thereof (the few) shall a FIRE ( Psalms 104:4) COME FORTH unto the House of Israel (you are the TRUE house of Israel).

    Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob (Jacob was the shadow; Christ is the TRUE) SHALL BE A FIRE, and the house of Joseph (Joseph was the shadow; Christ is the TRUE) shall be a flame, and the house of ESAU for stubble ..

    Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come upon Mount Zion, to judge the mount of ESAU; and the KINGDOM (of GOD)(CHRIST IN YOU) shall be the Lord's.

    Zechariah 13:09 And I WILL bring the THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE ..

    Revelation 8:7 ... and there followed HAIL and FIRE .....

    Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord (the Father ) hath a strong and might one (CHRIST), which as a tempest of HAIL and a destroying storm ....

    Isaiah 28:17 ..and the HAIL shall sweep away the refuge of lies ..

    Revelation 8:8 ...as it were a great mountain BURNING WITH FIRE ...

    Daniel 2:35 ...and the stone (CHRIST) that smote THE IMAGE (of the beast)( Revelation 13:15) became a great mountain (Mount Zion) ...

    Revelation 9:18 By these three was a THIRD PART of man killed, by the FIRE, and by the SMOKE, and by the BRIMSTONE, WHICH ISSUED of there MOUTH.

    The LAKE OF FIRE and BRIMSTONE comes out of the MOUTH, THE FIRE AND BRIMSTONE ARE THE WORD'S OF GOD.

    ARE THERE PROPHECIES ABOUT CREATION BECOMING ONE WITH GOD

    Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not MOSES and the PROPHETS, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

    Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed him (Paul) a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the KINGDOM OF GOD, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of THE LAW OF MOSES, and out of THE PROPHETS, from morning till evening.

    Acts 28:24 And some BELIEVED the things that were spoken and some BELIEVED NOT.

    Prophecy spoken by Daniel.

    Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, BROKEN TO PIECES together, and become like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors, and the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and THE STONE (CHRIST) that smote the IMAGE became a GREAT MOUNTAIN, AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH.

    Psalms 2:8 Ask of me and I will GIVE THEE the heathen for thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

    Psalms 2:9 Thou shall BREAK THEM with a rod of iron, thou shall DASH THEM IN PIECES as a potter's vessel.

    Psalms 22:27 ALL the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

    Starting with: Numbers 14:34,35,36,37,38 then, Ezekiel 4:6,

    Daniel 9:2, searching the prophetic timelines,

    Other years mysteries: Isaiah 61:2, Isaiah 63:4, Jeremiah 11:23, Jeremiah 17:8, Jeremiah 23:12, Jeremiah 48:44, Jeremiah 51:46, Ezekiel 46:17, Luke 4:19, Luke 13:8, Revelation 9:15, Daniel 11:6,

  • God is Wonderful to those who Seek - In Reply on John 5 - 2 years ago
    In a reference Bible there are some explanation to that passage. I'll list them:

    Isaiah 41:4, 6

    Daniel 7:13, 10:5, 7:9

    Daniel 2:18

    Revelation 19:12-16

    Alpha- beginning

    Omega- end

    I didn't see it for a long time, but one day I was reading Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew. It said, "In Beginning".

    My brain exploded.

    First Day, God created TIME for earth. God exists outside of time and inside of time. That is how He sees us "alpha" and "omega". He knows who will and who will not receive the Salvation He has prepared for us.

    PRAYER can change things or how we can accept things. The woman who tithed the widows mite, impressed Jesus.

    All of our days are recorded in a Book. Which means unborn children are known by God. He called prophets from the womb.

    Time is for weather, seasons, plant, harvest, animals mate, give birth; eggs to be hatched. It's huge just thinking about all the things that depend on time.

    Time is the one thing scientists couldn't find formulas of its origins. They have carbon dating, bigger space projects. No one is going to publish a Formula for Time.

    Genesis isn't the only place in the Bible where it speaks of Gods creation. They don't want to give God credit for it.

    "They" thought we'd understand it better if they added THE: in the beginning. Other stuff-God doesn't step in and stop car wrecks. But if we pray, we'll survive with just a little damage. He honors our free will.

    I think alpha and Omaha are Greek words.

    God has spread gold nuggets of revelation all through the Bible. Just laying there. If we read too fast, we will race past it.

    I was reading Ezekiel 37 about the bones. I know it's Israel. (I had dry bones in my life). I skimmed past where God says prophesy UPON these bones.

    The Holy Spirit tells me to prophesy. I said aloud the scriptures. Then he said, you can prophesy over YOUR dry bones!

    I'm scared to say THUS saith THE LORD. I cower while I'm thinking of dead things in my life.

    Daniel 1:1-3, as promised in Jeremiah, & other Old Testament books, if Israel didn't turn from : Exodus 22:22, Jeremiah 7:6, Jeremiah 23:3, Zechariah 7:10-14, Isaiah 1:17, warned & warned & warned by GOD through HIS prophets, Malachi 3:5, 2Kings 20:17-18, promised it would happen. Jeremiah 52:26-34,

    Daniel 1:4, the children taken capacity,

    Daniel 1:5-16, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, & some of Exodus covers the foods that Jewish children were by GOD's Laws not suppose to eat, it was wisdom

    Daniel 1:17-21 stood before the king, seems to say they stood by the king in service & advisers.

    Daniel 2,

    1st let's look at threat Daniel 2:5, if he had made all the young boys eunuchs & Jeremiah 52, would have caused fear.

    Daniel 2:1-13, just like Daniel 1:20, shows that king was seeking every type of teaching but they all fail

    Daniel 2:14-24, GOD ALMIGHTY is Awesome & amazing!! Psalms 44:22,

    Daniel 2:25-26, sad reminder that Daniel was of the captives of Judah, also the king had changed his name. (significantly there are Babylonian records with that name so it's interesting it's noted in Bible)

    Daniel 2:27-30 :to GOD be the Glory

    Daniel 2:31-45 the dream of the king & interpretation , with much symbolism

    Daniel 2:46,48, different later, Daniel tells that king's son, no: Daniel 5:17,

    Daniel 2:47 Glory to GOD

    Daniel 2:49, interesting note of favor also seen in chapter 1,

    Daniel 3, looks like the king misunderstood or took that "gold" interpretation out of context from symbolic "golden head" from dream Daniel 2:31,32,38,

    Daniel 3:6 threats again, & rage Daniel 3:13,19,20,21,22,23

    Daniel 3:8,12,16,17,18 just like Daniel 1, didn't want to turn from GOD's Laws

    Daniel 3:24-27 GOD's amazing deliverance

    Daniel 3:28 to GOD be Glory

    Yet threats again of brutal violence Daniel 3:29,

    Daniel 3:30 promotion again, through obedience to GOD

    Daniel 4, told through that king when GOD humbled him,

    Daniel 4:18,19, used name he gave Daniel

  • DANIEL 2 and NEBUCHADNEZZAR - In Reply on Daniel 2 - 2 years ago
    Daniel said the king's dream was about a giant statue that was destroyed by a stone cut out of a mountain. The statue represented the kingdoms of the earth. The stone cut out of the mountain represented the kingdom of God that would fill the earth.

    This comes to pass, and at the end of his punishment, Nebuchadnezzar praises God. Daniel's role is to interpret the dream for the king. The message of the story is that all earthly power, including that of kings, is subordinate to the power of God.

    Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Nebuchadnezzar is humbled twice by God: when he tries to punish the Israelites for refusing to worship an idol and when God punishes him with seven years of madness.

    what is a king dream
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 102 - 2 years ago
    The nondescript person here uttering a complaint sounds much like the author of Lamentations mourning over the situation during the Babylonian invasion. There is great similarity also to Job during his sufferings. There perhaps is the greatest meaning in the time when Christ returns (v.13). Daniel states that there are set times; and even Antichrist can't change times and delay Christ's return and victory over him ( Daniel 2:21). Once again; as in earlier Psalms the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord (v. 15). The prisoners will be set free ( Isaiah 51:14) as v. 20 indicates; and during the Millennium God looks down from heaven (heavenly Jerusalem) in v. 19. Eventually, the earth shall perish and be changed (v. 20) at the end of the period; and at the time of the Great White Throne judgment. ( Rev. 20:11). Then there shall be eternal glorified saints continuing forever (v. 28). This could indicate those already in redeemed bodies from the church age; as well as those natural men that live physically with their descendants (seed) during the 1000 years; who live throughout that period and are translated into eternity.

    Tunji My understanding is the same king, Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom was huge and one of His habits

    was when he took over a kingdom he would take the emblem or statue of god or gods and sit them on

    the outer wall of his kingdom to display his power. That's why when someone or something went against

    hid authority he was enraged. When none of the wise men in the kingdom could answer the dream he ordered

    all of them dead Daniel 2:12+13 that included Daniel and shadrach meshach and Abednego. It's amazing in

    a pagan empire that again God intervened for the standing believers and delivered again

    Notice the chaldean wise men answer in verses 10+11 of chapter two the gos who's dwelling is not

    of flesh.

    If we're just going by what is written in this Biblical translation, it appears the chronological order is Daniel 1 being account of capture & being taught in the ways of the "Chaldeans". I likewise was studying Daniel recently & found interesting how the books are like that.

    Daniel 1:1, Daniel 2:1, dates of significant recognition. 2 Kings 24:1-2,

    Historical insight 2 Kings 24:3-16, this appears to be the time that brought Daniel & his friends into that place of capacity. Note they left the poor in the land 2 Kings 24:14,17,18 which may explain the historical reference mentioned by other comment. 2 Kings 25:8-12,

    Stated 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar._._.

    Please note Daniel 4:6-9,18, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged Daniel as "knowing the spirit of the holy" GOD was in him, therefore it shows Chpt 4 being after the first interpretation. Daniel 4:29, Daniel 4:23,

    Daniel 5:11, Daniel 5:20-22, Daniel 5:31, Daniel 6:28,

    Please note Daniel 7:1 it goes back to time of Daniel 5. Daniel 4, to Daniel 2, In some ways, not in the same vision but the statement in Daniel 2:47, So consistantly Daniel jumps back into moments within previous Chapters to add additional situations within those time frames

    Daniel 1:20, chapter 2, could also explain this statement of why Daniel 1:20, states that.

    Notice also in Daniel 5:10-14,

    Hopefully these are helpful in your study

    To add to discussion I just recently replied but felt led to add to my post. Just recently in Daniel I believe GOD revealed to me Daniel & his friends may have been, as captives of war made Eunuchs by Nebuchadnezzar- Daniel 1:1-3, Daniel 1:7-9, Daniel 1:10-11, each time it states those who were put over Daniel & his companions that title was given them 'over the Eunuchs' . There is no account of them having children that I've found. Futhermore when Nebuchadnezzar threatened people in his brutal way= Daniel 2:5, Daniel 2:12-13, Daniel 3:28-29, it was probably a very viable threat & intensely reality. Which now not only puts new light on Nebuchadnezzar's threats but his way of thinking.

    Recently GOD's been showing me more in these scriptures. Daniel also is the only one that I've found where an angel says was greatly beloved, Daniel 10:11, Daniel 10:19, there seems to be a distinction in this address. GOD knows us & everything thing we have suffered, everything taken from us, even wrongful sterilization. He loves us! Hopefully this is also encouraging in a deep way as it has been to me. Yes I believe GOD addresses people personally & callings differ. Moses, Hosea, Ezekiel are few examples Daniel another. Sometimes HE calls us to do things others have not been called to nor had precedence for. Like Noah. In my life I've been reminded of this scripture more than once [1 Kigs 13:8-10,15,16,17,18,21,22,*24,] 1 Kings 13:1-32, we must obey GOD ALMIGHTY in what HE calls us to do personally.

    When I say a distinction the wording is a little Different than Isaiah 48:14, 2 Samuel 2:24, 1 Kings 10:9, Revelations 1:5, Revelations 3:9, John 14:20, Mark 10:21, & even Matthew 3:17 because CHRIST is the SON, THE WAY TRUTH & LIGHT, LIFE. If I had my Exhaustive Concordance at hand, I would study it more fully.
