Going to start a new book today. First, let me back up a little; the purpose of this blog is mainly to encourage daily Scripture reading. I personally love to delve into theology, and there is a time and place for that, and for now I don't believe it to be on this forum. Rather, I enjoy sharing what I have learned in the past few years of study, as well as thoughts God places on my heart as I read His Word daily. God truly desires us to get the "big picture", as all Scripture is inspired by God, so He tells us.
So today I am starting Daniel, some great life lessons here, even though its setting is some 2500-2600 years ago. There is also some powerful and yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecy in this book. There will likely be some questions that cannot be answered dogmatically. Keep in mind as you read Daniel, its major theme is that of God being in control, and just how much He desires a close relationship with His people. He loved Judah so much He was willing to judge them for their idolatry, and send them to Babylon for 70 years. He loved us so much, He sent His Son to suffer and die in our place to pay the penalty for our sin. Keep all this in mind throughout Daniel.
