Belshazzar and Belteshazzar: the names were similar, but the men could not have been more different. At the party described in Daniel 5, we see the king, Belshazzar: proud, arrogant, blasphemous - and scared out of his mind. He's looking at Belteshazzar (Daniel): humble, reverent, confident. The king's gods of metal and stone and wood didn't write …

If you destroy a culture, you erase a people. We would say that the Jews have survived for thousands of years because of God's blessing - including the blessings of Scripture and a cohesive culture. Anyone who attacks those unifying forces, Scripture and culture, wants to dissolve that group. Daniel and his readers were warned of one such attacker.…

The ram, the goat, and the angel! Do you believe the old saying that, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall?" If it's true, then we should expect the most powerful kingdoms to crash the hardest of all. That should sober-up even the most power-drunk rulers, like Belshazzar of old - and like some of ours, today. Daniel foresaw the destruction of…

If you want to know about your future, you'll have to go back! The only One who knows the future is the One who wrote it. But, in the Bible, God gives us a broad outline of coming events - and not just once, but several times. The prophecies of Jesus, John, Daniel and others confirm and complement each other. We'll look at some of those interlockin…

Meet the Antichrist! If we didn't have the Revelation to John, we would still have the revelations given to Daniel, centuries earlier. We'll look at one of them today. In chapter 7 of Daniel's book we get our first glimpse of Earth's final human king - the Man of Sin, the Counterfeit Savior, the Beast. In Dan's dream he's symbolized by a horn. When…

A revelation from God will change how you feel! We live in a culture obsessed with emotions. If anyone could empathize with Daniel as he's knocked sideways by a divine dream, it's us. What he saw was powerful. He described his emotional state as "troubled," "alarmed," even "terrified." What was this shocking dream? We'll sneak up on it gradually in…

We see Daniel's righteousness in his preparation. We can only make sense of our lives, in many cases, when we look back. Then we see the significance of events that seemed unimportant - even random - at the time they happened. We can imagine that Daniel looked back on his career, and realized that its huge moments of crisis weren't sprung on him "o…

It's a long way from the palace, to the pasture. Nebuchadnezzar thought he was in charge. He thought his accomplishments proved his superiority as a human being. But the Most High would prove that the king was no better than an ox, or a bird. All of "his" glory had been lent to him. Now God was calling that loan. The King of Babylon had become an o…

The king who became a beast. Nebuchadnezzar didn't "lose his mind;" he threw it away. He forfeited his sanity when he refused to humble himself before God. As Paul would write to the Romans much later, "...since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind...." So Daniel, chapter 4 isn't just a story about one, proud …

"Well, I don't have a crystal ball, but...." If you could see the future - you can't, but if you could - would you change your behavior? If your glimpse of coming days frightened you, surely you'd be "scared straight," wouldn't you? The Bible tells us of a king who dreamed of his own fall - a judgment like a magnificent tree being cut down. And Neb…

Is the "spirit of the holy gods" in you? In his pagan ignorance the king of Babylon was giving Daniel a compliment. He saw something unusual in the man he called "Belteshazzar;" something astonishing. The explanation could only be supernatural. Nebuchadnezzar's praise was off-the-theological-mark, but well intended. Well, do you have a different sp…

When you're the king, you can start your letter with the "P.S." Toward the end of Nebuchadnezzar's life he wrote a proclamation. He addressed it to everyone on earth. And we find this late letter early in the book of Daniel. Even more unusually, the king put his conclusion first: that the kingdom of the "Most High God" is "an everlasting kingdom." …

The king thought he was holding a dedication. He had no idea! Nebuchadnezzar had commissioned a very impressive idol - all of gold - that he wanted to consecrate. But he was about to get schooled in what consecration is really all about. Three courageous men showed him - and showed all of us - that the kind of dedication that matters is the devotio…

There's going to be a throwdown! There was a gospel musical back in the 70's called, "Your Arms Too Short to Box with God." Well, King Nebuchadnezzar hadn't seen it. Despite his divine dream and its heaven-sent interpretation, the sovereign of Babylon remained unimpressed. He hadn't learned his lesson. And those 3 Hebrew administrators were really …

When the king says, "Bow," it is treason to stand. The state, the head of state, and the gods of the state were all jumbled together in the minds of the ancients. Christians who refused to say, "Caesar is Lord," or to throw incense on the altar of Jupiter were treated as enemies of the Roman empire. Further back, Daniel's friends got into trouble w…

"You are the head of gold." That's an unusually positive dream interpretation! A prophet of the True God must tell the truth, no matter what. There always seem to be 4- or 500 "prophets" who will tell the ruler exactly what he wants to hear, and you don't want to be the lone dissonant voice in that choir. Daniel has no problem giving a negative mes…

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Nebuchadnezzar had made his dream and its interpretation a matter of life or death for the wise men of Babylon. Including Daniel. As we resume the message from Friday, the interpretation of the king's dream has flown us over into the New Testament to notice a remark from Jesus. We're in Luke 21, verse 24 w…

Are you a prisoner, or a preacher? That may depend on your point of view! Even a captive can be a missionary. Paul and Barnabas found that stone dungeon walls provide great acoustics! Daniel, in the Old Testament, was another ambassador-in-chains, as it were. And he would "speak truth to power" to a degree that very few human beings ever get the ch…

Daniel was looking up! If this young exile from Judah had looked back, he would have seen only smoke rising from the ruins of his homeland. If he had looked at what was immediately around him he would have seen enticements of prestige and power. But Daniel, as I say, looked up. And he saw things that others did not see. Where are our eyes focused t…

The people of Judah wouldn't obey God, but they wouldn't submit to Nebuchadnezzar, either! A powerful earthly king and the King of Heaven would both say, "Enough!" to this troublesome lot. It was a time of total calamity. Well, not quite "total." As we saw with the Flood of Noah, God's pattern is redemption in the midst of destruction. Here's Jim w…

Daniel was different. Daniel was different than the pagans around him in Babylon; different than the unfaithful members of his own tribe and nation; different, even, than the other men that God called "righteous." Today we begin a series exploring The Righteousness that Distinguished Daniel. Jim will start by setting the scene, helping us understan…

Some might call this the "butterfly effect." Tiny actions can trigger larger effects, and we may end up with conditions that no one could have predicted. The end result in Genesis 9 is a curse on a whole group of people - the Canaanites, who would eventually oppose the Israelites. The cause is a seemingly minor lapse in judgment by an adult, in the…

In the Flood, God had destroyed all those who belonged to the devil. But Satan didn't quit. If we could close the story of Noah after he came off the Ark and made the sacrifices and heard the promises of God, that would be nice. But we can't. We're about to discover the human side of this prophet. One moment of "letting his hair down," affected gen…

A lot of bad ideas could be cured by a peek into Genesis. Humans cannot destroy the Earth. Animals are not our ancestors. And we are allowed to eat them - any of them. From dietary codes, to Darwin, to planetary doom, we stagger under the weight of many, heavy misconceptions. We're in need of humility. Noah was a man ready to re-learn some things. …

After the Flood, God made a covenant... with Himself! Yes, God made that famous covenant with mankind in Genesis 9, but before that, in chapter 8, He spoke to Himself - literally, "in His heart," or "to His heart." This was a very intimate communication within the Godhead. And we are privileged to learn about it. When Noah stepped back on dry land,…

The Ark wasn't just mercy ship; it was a judge's bench. "By faith Noah condemned the world," reads Hebrews 11:7. What does the Apostle mean by that? Noah's wicked neighbors no doubt felt convicted by his devout life. Our friends and co-workers may have a similar reaction to us. And we, too, have known the sense of "not measuring up" in the presence…
