Psalm 119 and Proverbs

I have been busy studying God's Word....I have to say it brings me soooo much joy!  I just finished a Precept study on Psalm 119.  You can find the awesome info here.  Also, I am now doing a survey study on Proverbs from Precept (link here as well).  The awesome thing about Psalm 119 was the LAST VERSE brought it all together.  Psalm 119:176 says "I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments."  For a little background, Psalm 119:174 says: "I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight."  For all the psalmist's devotion and love for God, he still needed a Savior and He sent His Son, Jesus to seek and save the lost.  In case you want to study truth for yourself, I will hide the revelation of these two verses under the tab/page labeled Psalm 119.  It all points to Jesus and the Holy Spirit showed me how--really, this is THE COOLEST!!

We have learned SO MUCH in Daniel 8 this week!  All the details are given on the Daniel Inductive Study page.  We only have two weeks left and then we start planning our brunch--to watch the DVD of Israel's history as it pertains to Daniel's prophecy.  This was an action-packed week, learning about the Maccabean Revolt, the take-over of three kingdoms, an evil ruler, and a comparison of the "other horn" in Daniel 7 with the "small horn" in Daniel 8.

Time, Times, and Half a Time

We may say 3 1/2 years, 42 months or 1,260 days.....but they all mean "time, times and half a time" as we learned in our study of Daniel this morning.  We also were able to gain more perspective with a timeline.  You can read more on the DANIEL INDUCTIVE STUDY page.  The timeline was posted on our Facebook Group page under FILES.



Four and Ten

To review Week Two of the Daniel study, we observed some repetitive numbers, events and time references.  You can find these in detail on the Daniel Inductive Study page--don't miss it!

God's Kingdom is coming on earth and "all peoples, nations and men of every language" will serve the One like a Son of Man (which we concluded is JESUS)--this should be great news for those who belong to God.  Let's serve Him NOW by spreading the Word--because one day everyone on earth will be serving Him. We must let others know what is in store NOW while we are still here awaiting His return!

What Does the FUTURE Hold?

There is a coming Kingdom and it can happen at any time.  I long for the Father to say to His Son, "It is now time My Son, go and get My children!"  Jesus tells us no one knows the day or the time when this Kingdom will come, but we can be certain that 1. it IS coming and SOON, and 2. there are certain events that will usher in this glorious event.  In Amos the LORD says He does nothing without revealing it to His prophets (see Amos 3:7), therefore we can KNOW what will come.  In fact in Daniel, Daniel consults the scrolls of Jeremiah the prophet to know just how long his people (the Jews) will be exiled in Babylon (Jer. 25 and 29).   I will post reviews of our lessons in Daniel on the Daniel Inductive Study page.
