Revelation 8 calls us to pause in silence with all those gathered in heaven as we wait to see what is inside the scroll. This silence is contrasted with the loud trumpets that remind us of God's judgement in the past of Egypt and Babylon. The prayers of the saints, calling out for rescue, have ascended to the heavenly throne, and God is once again …

As we follow John along into the throne room of heaven we weep alongside him at the fear that no one is worthy to open the scroll and reveal God's plan for judgement and redemption of the world.

The church in Thyatira is doing a lot of things right, but they also receive the longest rebuke out of all of the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3.

Daniel 11 is a long chapter full of history and prophecy. Daniel learns about the future fate of his people and the lands they live in. The chapter leaves us amazed at how accurate the angel's prophecy. It challenges us to be certain about the fulfillment of other prophecy we find in Scripture, including in the later part of Daniel 11. Prophecy sho…

When you think of an encounter with God, what kind of experience comes to mind? Is it a cozy devotional with warm coffee before sunrise? Is it jubilant praise during a church service?

The Bible gives us lots of names for God. Daniel 7 tells us that God is the Ancient of Days.

Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, makes a mockery of God by throwing a debaucherous party in praise to pagan gods while drinking wine from vessels from the temple in Jerusalem.

This week in Daniel 3, we wrestled with what it mean to be faithful by analyzing the interaction between Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego with King Nebuchadnezzar, and how they chose death rather than bow before the King’s idol.

Daniel is fluent in the language and culture of Babylon and the Scriptures and ways of God. This makes Daniel a faithful and accurate interpreter.
