18/11/2024

The fifth chapter of Revelation needs to be closely studied. It is of great importance to those who shall act a part in the work of God for these last days. There are some who are deceived. They do not realize what is coming on the earth. Those who have permitted their minds to become beclouded in regard to what constitutes sin are fearfully deceived.Unless they make a decided change they will be found wanting when God pronounces judgment upon the children of men. They have transgressed the law and broken the everlasting covenant, and they will receive according to their works. (9T 267)

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.(Romans 13:11,12)

Daniel Chapter 2.

God remove Kings and set up kings.

part 2.

Welcome to the second episode of our studies through Daniel chapter 2 under the theme, " Back to the right Path". In our last episode, we learnt that King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream but forgot about it. The King was troubled, and sought for help from his wise men but he found no help. The Bible says,

12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: 15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

Daniel had no power of his own to reveals and interprets the dream, he only trust in the Lord. God offers his gracious Will to us for as long as we obey and trust him. The Bible continues ;17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

When Daniel was brought before the King, the King asked, "Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; 28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;… 31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible... The image has the stature of man with folded arms.

Interpretations.

1. The Head of gold. (Daniel 2:37,38)
This represents the rich Kingdom of Babylon. In fact, element of gold best suits the economic status of Babylon by that time. This Kingdom lasted from 606/5 BC to 538/9 BC. (See Daniel 5)

2. Breasts and Arms of Silver. (Daniel 5:28, 8;20)
This symbolized the empire of Medes and Persian. The folding of the arms as seen in the picture shows how these two great empires united and work together. This Kingdom lasted from 538/9 BC to 331 BC.

3. Belly and thigh of brass. (Daniel 8:21)
This symbolized the Empire of Greek. More details will be unfolded in Daniel 7. This empire lasted from 331BC to 168BC.

4. Legs of iron.
The next empire which surfaced in the year 168 BC was Romans empire. Immediately after Greek was Rome. Here it is presented intact in all its stages; Pagan Rome, divided Rome and Papal Rome. In this Chapter, we don't see the next Kingdom coming up, we will know in Daniel 7. In the year 168BC, Rome did not come power by war. It was in Egypt when Antiochus iV Epiphanies advance to conquer Egypt under a Junior King that Romans Senate sent General Pompey to stop Epiphanies. Pompey asked Epiphanies to withdraw or face a great fight with Rome. He requested to go and meet with his general but Pompey circled him in the sand using his stick and asked him to make the decision in side there. Epiphanies stepped out and withdrew. Here was the rise of Rome to power, the transition from Greek to Rome in the year 168BC.

5. Feet and toe partly of clay and iron.

This represent the union of Church and State. The clay represent the Church but remember it is a miry clay, meaning an apostate Church and the iron represent the state power. This union is illegitimate. Furthermore, a very point to note in this, the ten toes does not represent the divisions of Rome, they represent the entire world. The image transition from empires to republic world of different states. The figure ten means universality. The ten toes of Daniel 2, the ten horns of Revelation 13 &17 are the same. Repeat and enlargement will follow in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13.

6 The Stone. (1Cor 3:11)
This represent the Kingdom of Christ and Christ Himself in his second coming. Thus, the word of Prophet Ezekiel will be fulfilled, I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.(Ezekiel 21:27)

Exhortation.

In the history of nations the student of God’s word may behold the literal fulfillment of divine prophecy. Babylon, shattered and broken at last, passed away because in prosperity its rulers had regarded themselves as independent of God, and had ascribed the glory of their kingdom to human achievement. The Medo-Persian realm was visited by the wrath of Heaven because in it God’s law had been trampled underfoot. The fear of the Lord had found no place in the hearts of the vast majority of the people. Wickedness, blasphemy, and corruption prevailed. The kingdoms that followed were even more base and corrupt; and these sank lower and still lower in the scale of moral worth. (PK 501.).

Daniel Chapter 2.

God set up Kings and Remove Kings.

Part 1.
Dear friends, welcome to Bible study series under the theme" Back to the right path". In this episode, we will delve into the history of the world as revealed to Nebuchadnezzar more than 500 years before Christ. In this part, we will deal with the portion which reveals God as the source of wisdom and power. He removed Kings and set up kings. Prophet Ezekiel who was a contemporary of Daniel the prophet and King Nebuchadnezzar, revealed what the Lord intended for the Kings and empires of the world. He said, "26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. 27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. (Ezekiel 21:26,27.KJV).

This world will one day come to an end, but what will happened next? Where are we now in the point of history? What is our status as far the relationships between us and God is concerned? Come with me to Daniel chapter 2. This chapter comprises of 49 verses. Please study them at your free time. The chapter begins as follow;

"And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.(Daniel 2:1.KJV). The second year of King Nebuchadnezzar is approximately 602BC. He ruled for a good number of years, then died between August and September, 562 BC.

The dream of the King was as depicted in the picture in part 2 of this episode. Unfortunately to the King, the dream was erased from his memory. He sought for his dream and its interpretations from his wise men but none was found to be of help to him. The king was greatly troubled. To this, the wise men responded, “O king, live forever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation(verse 4) but the King had no idea completely.” Why did God cause the King to forget about the dream? Friends, God wanted Nebuchadnezzar to sense that there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king what shall be in the latter days. His wise men could not read the future but God alone knows the future. The King relied on Marduk, the idol gods which cannot help. Satan has no power to read the mind of human beings. He is a gambler. He only monitor the character portrayed. So, he was not able to help the King in his condition.

Friends, In every society, there are always few remnants who serve as the channels of God's blessings to his people. In the city of Babylon were the men of the Most high; Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. These did not compromised their relationships with God and they became of great blessings to the King and us today. They prayed to God and God revealed the dream of the King to Daniel.

Exhortation.
Daniel was closely connected with the Source of all wisdom, and this was to him more precious than the gold of Ophir. He kept his religious training on an equality with the advantages which were given him for becoming a wise and learned man. He used his entrusted capital aright. He was aroused by the situation in which he found himself in the king’s court. He co-operated with God in the use of every power which had been given him, and we read, “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Daniel was connected with God, and the secrets of the Most High were opened to him; for God is with those that fear Him. “And the king communed with them, and among all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore stood they before the king.

The next episode will cover how this dream was revealed and its interpretations.

Be blessed and be a blessings.

This might be of great help spiritually to you, your friends and friends of your friends. Begining tomorrow, we will be sharing series of presentations under the theme, " Back to the right Path". "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: said Prophet Isaiah. We all call upon the name of the Lord though not often by some, circumstances place all of us at times in the open courtyard to seek for God's help. By that reason, it is of great significance to keep in touch with the creator personally, to built the intimacy through Grace and truth.

These presentations will be trimmed to a reasonable minutes, at least 3-5 minutes per each. They will range from Daniel chapter 2, Chapter 7 and Revelation 13. You are highly invited as well as your friends. Are you close to a member recently baptised, share with him or her.

New month message.

Forgiveness keeps the strongest bound.

Memory text: Matthew 18:21,22. "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus said unto him, I say not unto you, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.

forgiveness is a remedy of life. A person who is ever forgiving reduces the level of stress that would have been added by offense. As Christ emphasised on forgiving our brothers, it arosed the curiosity of Peter, for Christ seems to be contradicting what has been formulated by Pharisees of his time. Then he asked, "how often shall a brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

You can be wondering in the conversation between Christ and Peter. Why did Peter suggest Seven times? Why did Christ extend it to seventy times seven? I wondered too, but there is an answer. Every word of Christ had an objection lesson and reasons behind.

In Genesis Chapter 4, we read of Cain meeting with Christ shortly after he slained his brother. After being cursed of his action, he complained of it being too great to bear. And the Lord told him that vengeance shall be taken SEVENFOLD to anyone who slay you. Few generations later, Lamech who confessed to have slained a man said, if Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech SEVENTY AND SEVENFOLD, literally seventy times seven.

Pharisees later down in history formulate a theological concept that you have to forgive a person who wrong you seven times but avenge seventy times so that he/she doesn't repeat.

So peter was asking what has been taught by Pharisees and Christ said I didn't tell you seven times but Seventy, seven times. This literally means forgiving even in your life time. If our God in heaven is ever for giving, why can't we imitate the same character.

May you experienced the peace of Christ by forgiving whoever has offended you and begin this month a fresh. May your bound of togetherness be renewed. May God bless you all.

Steps to Christ - Chapter 13 - Rejoicing in the Lord - Part VI (pp.123-126)

Christ pointed His disciples to the flowers of the field, growing in rich profusion and glowing in the simple beauty which the heavenly Father had given them, as an expression of His love to man. He said, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow." The beauty and simplicity of these natural flowers far outrival the splendor of Solomon. The most gorgeous attire produced by the skill of art cannot bear comparison with the natural grace and radiant beauty of the flowers of God's creation. Jesus asks, "If God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Matthew 6:28, 30. If God, the divine Artist, gives to the simple flowers that perish in a day their delicate and varied colors, how much greater care will He have for those who are created in His own image? This lesson of Christ's is a rebuke to the anxious thought, the perplexity and doubt, of the faithless heart.

The Lord would have all His sons and daughters happy, peaceful, and obedient. Jesus says, "My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." "These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." John 14:27; 15:11.

Happiness that is sought from selfish motives, outside of the path of duty, is ill - balanced, fitful, and transitory; it passes away, and the soul is filled with loneliness and sorrow; but there is joy and satisfaction in the service of God; the Christian is not left to walk in uncertain paths; he is not left to vain regrets and disappointments. If we do not have the pleasures of this life we may still be joyful in looking to the life beyond.

But even here Christians may have the joy of communion with Christ; they may have the light of His love, the perpetual comfort of His presence. Every step in life may bring us closer to Jesus, may give us a deeper experience of His love, and may bring us one step nearer to the blessed home of peace. Then let us not cast away our confidence, but have firm assurance, firmer than ever before. "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us," and He will help us to the end. 1 Samuel 7:12. Let us look to the monumental pillars, reminders of what the Lord has done to comfort us and to save us from the hand of the destroyer. Let us keep fresh in our memory all the tender mercies that God has shown us, - the tears He has wiped away, the pains He has soothed, the anxieties removed, the fears dispelled, the wants supplied, the blessings bestowed, - thus strengthening ourselves for all that is before us through the remainder of our pilgrimage.

We cannot but look forward to new perplexities in the coming conflict, but we may look on what is past as well as on what is to come, and say, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." "As thy days, so shall thy strength be." Deuteronomy 33:25. The trial will not exceed the strength that shall be given us to bear it. Then let us take up our work just where we find it, believing that whatever may come, strength proportionate to the trial will be given.

And by and by the gates of heaven will be thrown open to admit God's children, and from the lips of the King of glory the benediction will fall on their ears like richest music, "Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Matthew 25:34.

Then the redeemed will be welcomed to the home that Jesus is preparing for them. There their companions will not be the vile of earth, liars, idolaters, the impure, and unbelieving; but they will associate with those who have overcome Satan and through divine grace have formed perfect characters. Every sinful tendency, every imperfection, that afflicts them here has been removed by the blood of Christ, and the excellence and brightness of His glory, far exceeding the brightness of the sun, is imparted to them. And the moral beauty, the perfection of His character, shines through them, in worth far exceeding this outward splendor. They are without fault before the great white throne, sharing the dignity and the privileges of the angels.

In view of the glorious inheritance that may be his, "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26. He may be poor, yet he possesses in himself a wealth and dignity that the world could never bestow. The soul redeemed and cleansed from sin, with all its noble powers dedicated to the service of God, is of surpassing worth; and there is joy in heaven in the presence of God and the holy angels over one soul redeemed, a joy that is expressed in songs of holy triumph.

Steps to Christ - Chapter 13 - Rejoicing in the Lord - Part V (pp.121-123)

Some are always fearing, and borrowing trouble. Every day they are surrounded with the tokens of God's love; every day they are enjoying the bounties of His providence; but they overlook these present blessings. Their minds are continually dwelling upon something disagreeable which they fear may come; or some difficulty may really exist which, though small, blinds their eyes to the many things that demand gratitude. The difficulties they encounter, instead of driving them to God, the only source of their help, separate them from Him because they awaken unrest and repining.

Do we well to be thus unbelieving? Why should we be ungrateful and distrustful? Jesus is our friend; all heaven is interested in our welfare. We should not allow the perplexities and worries of everyday life to fret the mind and cloud the brow. If we do we shall always have something to vex and annoy. We should not indulge a solicitude that only frets and wears us, but does not help us to bear trials.

You may be perplexed in business; your prospects may grow darker and darker, and you may be threatened with loss; but do not become discouraged; cast your care upon God, and remain calm and cheerful. Pray for wisdom to manage your affairs with discretion, and thus prevent loss and disaster. Do all you can on your part to bring about favorable results. Jesus has promised His aid, but not apart from our effort. When, relying upon our Helper, you have done all you can, accept the result cheerfully.

It is not the will of God that His people should be weighed down with care. But our Lord does not deceive us. He does not say to us, "Do not fear; there are no dangers in your path." He knows there are trials and dangers, and He deals with us plainly. He does not propose to take His people out of a world of sin and evil, but He points them to a never - failing refuge. His prayer for His disciples was, "I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil." "In the world," He says, "ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 17:15; 16:33.

In His Sermon on the Mount, Christ taught His disciples precious lessons in regard to the necessity of trusting in God. These lessons were designed to encourage the children of God through all ages, and they have come down to our time full of instruction and comfort. The Saviour pointed His followers to the birds of the air as they warbled their carols of praise, unencumbered with thoughts of care, for "they sow not, neither do they reap." And yet the great Father provides for their needs. The Saviour asks, "Are ye not much better than they?" Matthew 6:26. The great Provider for man and beast opens His hand and supplies all His creatures. The birds of the air are not beneath His notice. He does not drop the food into their bills, but He makes provision for their needs. They must gather the grains He has scattered for them. They must prepare the material for their little nests. They must feed their young. They go forth singing to their labor, for "your heavenly Father feedeth them." And "are ye not much better than they?" Are not you, as intelligent, spiritual worshipers, of more value than the birds of the air? Will not the Author of our being, the Preserver of our life, the One who formed us in His own divine image, provide for our necessities if we but trust in Him?

Steps to Christ - Chapter 13 - Rejoicing in the Lord - Part V (120-121)

There are many who have an erroneous idea of the life and character of Christ. They think that He was devoid of warmth and sunniness, that He was stern, severe, and joyless. In many cases the whole religious experience is colored by these gloomy views.

It is often said that Jesus wept, but that He was never known to smile. Our Saviour was indeed a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief, for He opened His heart to all the woes of men. But though His life was self - denying and shadowed with pain and care, His spirit was not crushed. His countenance did not wear an expression of grief and repining, but ever one of peaceful serenity. His heart was a wellspring of life, and wherever He went He carried rest and peace, joy and gladness.

Our Saviour was deeply serious and intensely in earnest, but never gloomy or morose. The life of those who imitate Him will be full of earnest purpose; they will have a deep sense of personal responsibility. Levity will be repressed; there will be no boisterous merriment, no rude jesting; but the religion of Jesus gives peace like a river. It does not quench the light of joy; it does not restrain cheerfulness nor cloud the sunny, smiling face. Christ came not to be ministered unto but to minister; and when His love reigns in the heart, we shall follow His example.

If we keep uppermost in our minds the unkind and unjust acts of others we shall find it impossible to love them as Christ has loved us; but if our thoughts dwell upon the wondrous love and pity of Christ for us, the same spirit will flow out to others. We should love and respect one another, notwithstanding the faults and imperfections that we cannot help seeing. Humility and self - distrust should be cultivated, and a patient tenderness with the faults of others. This will kill out all narrowing selfishness and make us large - hearted and generous.

The psalmist says, "Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." Psalm 37:3. "Trust in the Lord." Each day has its burdens, its cares and perplexities; and when we meet how ready we are to talk of our difficulties and trials. So many borrowed troubles intrude, so many fears are indulged, such a weight of anxiety is expressed, that one might suppose we had no pitying, loving Saviour ready to hear all our requests and to be to us a present help in every time of need.

Steps to Christ - Chapter 12 - Chapter 13 - Rejoicing in the Lord - Part IV (118-120)

When we seem to doubt God's love and distrust His promises we dishonor Him and grieve His Holy Spirit. How would a mother feel if her children were constantly complaining of her, just as though she did not mean them well, when her whole life's effort had been to forward their interests and to give them comfort? Suppose they should doubt her love; it would break her heart. How would any parent feel to be thus treated by his children? And how can our heavenly Father regard us when we distrust His love, which has led Him to give His only - begotten Son that we might have life? The apostle writes, "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32. And yet how many, by their actions, if not in word, are saying, "The Lord does not mean this for me. Perhaps He loves others, but He does not love me."

All this is harming your own soul; for every word of doubt you utter is inviting Satan's temptations; it is strengthening in you the tendency to doubt, and it is grieving from you the ministering angels. When Satan tempts you, breathe not a word of doubt or darkness. If you choose to open the door to his suggestions, your mind will be filled with distrust and rebellious questioning. If you talk out your feelings, every doubt you express not only reacts upon yourself, but it is a seed that will germinate and bear fruit in the life of others, and it may be impossible to counteract the influence of your words. You yourself may be able to recover from the season of temptation and from the snare of Satan, but others who have been swayed by your influence may not be able to escape from the unbelief you have suggested. How important that we speak only those things that will give spiritual strength and life!

Angels are listening to hear what kind of report you are bearing to the world about your heavenly Master. Let your conversation be of Him who liveth to make intercession for you before the Father. When you take the hand of a friend, let praise to God be on your lips and in your heart. This will attract his thoughts to Jesus.

All have trials; griefs hard to bear, temptations hard to resist. Do not tell your troubles to your fellow mortals, but carry everything to God in prayer. Make it a rule never to utter one word of doubt or discouragement. You can do much to brighten the life of others and strengthen their efforts, by words of hope and holy cheer.

There is many a brave soul sorely pressed by temptation, almost ready to faint in the conflict with self and with the powers of evil. Do not discourage such a one in his hard struggle. Cheer him with brave, hopeful words that shall urge him on his way. Thus the light of Christ may shine from you. "None of us liveth to himself." Romans 14:7. By our unconscious influence others may be encouraged and strengthened, or they may be discouraged, and repelled from Christ and the truth.
