In the timeline of our series “God’s Foretold Work” we are approaching the return of exiled Israel from Babylon to their homeland and promised inheritance. However, in this session, we took a step back and considered the complaints of the prophet Habakkuk, as he witnessed the wicked swallowing up those more righteous than themselves.

In this session we looked at chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel. There we will be considered the question posed by scripture “Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets?” And, is this “Gog” of Ezekiel the same vile person we’ve been considering in the visions of Daniel?

In this session we looked at Chapter 7 of Daniel. This was possibly be our last stop in our whirlwind tour of this book which began with Jesus’ own recommendation to come here to get understanding of the abomination that causes desolation (See Sessions 42 and 43).

The exile begins early for some of the inhabitants of the land of Israel. Nearly two decades before the temple is destroyed and the entire nation is exiled, Daniel and others are carried away to Babylon to serve King Nebuchadnezzar. In this session we will consider the preparatory work that the Lord does among a remnant in advance of the…

In this session, we continued to ponder the prophetic warnings of the scattering of Israel (the northern kingdom) and the later exile of Judah, with an eye towards what it says to us “upon whom the culmination of the age has come.”

In this session, we looked at the Lamentations of Jeremiah and the Suffering Servant of Isaiah in hopes of finding a resolution to this mystery posed by the two testaments: how is it that the old testament claims that God will judge the nations over the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem, and in the new testament, we…
