Daniel and the Fall
Where did summer go? How did it get to be Fall? And if Daniel is where we left off when summer began, will I really be ready to study the whole of his book in just two weeks?
The answer, of course, is no. But we will start on time, and we'll start in Daniel. The young man will become vegetarian and quickly grow up to reveal the mystery of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. But Daniel didn't speak his answers or his questions into a vacuum, then or now. He spoke in exile while others spoke in a city about to fall. His world had ended, but prophets in other places still listened to God's word. So we'll look at them too, at the places where they lived, and at the changing fates of all the people they led.
We'll study the later parts of Jeremiah, the school of Isaiah who died (according to Jewish tradition) not all that long ago, Ezekiel with his chariots, and more, and more. Then, in the end, we just might look at the end, as told in Daniel's visions. A man, once young, now grown old,will guide us to that final prophet of our series, the young man called John.
I hope you'll join us. And I hope I'll be ready in time. I'm really looking forward to the journey.
