Among other purposes...

Another purpose of this blog will be to post regularly (semi-regularly) thoughts and observations on the book of Daniel for my bible study group that meets every other Wednesday night. The idea behind this is to foster study of God's scriptures for those not present and to promote discussion and thought for all involved even before the bible study meeting. We never seem to have enough time to cover absolutely everything, and this way I can post on issues we did not get to or exhaust and those involved can ask questions they never had a chance to answer. I have never tried this before, but in theory it seems like a good idea. Feel free to post questions, observations, thoughts you might have in the comments section.

This Wednesday we are beginning chapter 11. Chapter 10 introduced Daniels vision and chapter 11 reveals the visions contents. As you read this chapter be thinking about a biblical worldview of history. Is history a series of random events? Was God in control of historical events? If he was in control then, is he now? Is history important? What does history teach us about life, God, and humanity? These are just some questions that scratch the surface and will Lord willing be further thought upon Wednesday night.
