Even though this book is about Daniel 2, it's not really about Daniel 2! It's really about Jesus! Come tag along on this exciting journey of re-discovery! Even if you think you've long understood all details of the prophecy, you may just discover a most important new insight and find yourself dumbfounded by precise prophetic fulfillments in Christian history that once sent chills up the author's spine. You too may discover the fuller gospel meaning embedded within ancient cryptic symbols, almost like a "hidden picture"! Daniel 2, specifically, unveils the very Foundation Stone of all later Bible prophecies, and-correctly understood-it places the Lamb of God, His unfathomable love for sinners, and the heart conquest of His Kingdom (of glory and of grace) squarely back at the center of all Bible prophecy. That Christ-centering "hidden picture" is nothing short of a self-portrait of Jesus and the prophesied growth of his New Testament "kingdom of God" message into all the world, of his royal incarnate rule from its tiniest beginnings in Bethlehem to its mountainous NO END in eternity! This book is really about a too-often "hidden" message that Herald believes God always intended to shout out to our anxiety-ridden world today, as we now teeter on the brink of eternity. It is the timeless and yet so timely message of "HOPE!" Real hope! A long-growing hope (as you will discover)-embodied in a Person-that reaches all the way down to even the most apparently hopeless if she or he will only recognize it and take hold...of JESUS! "In this magnificent book, which at times seems like a spy thriller, Joshua Herald methodically details insights into Scripture. He does so with such clarity and precision that you will wonder how you could have missed coming to the same conclusion he did." ~ Ron Price MA, author of Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Church, Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Work, and Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Home "Hang onto your seats for this rollercoaster! Joshua Herald pens a twisting, turning ride to a better understanding of Daniel's beastly prophecies and the mysterious stone that strikes the colossal, metallic image.~ Chris Conrad PG (professional geologist) If you have found the insights in this book to be spiritually uplifting and helpful, please share this title with a friend!

In an age of carefully managed public profiles presented via Instagram or BeReal, or even the public presentation of our churches, Paul's stories of hardship in his letters to the Corinthians draw us to a different relationship with ourselves and our communities - one which enables to tell authentic stories about ourselves, warts and all.In his deep and careful study of the epistles to the Corinthians, Philip Plyming demonstrates how Paul calls the Corinthian Christians to a way of living which stands in stark contrast from the prevailing culture of Corinth, and argues that there are profound lessons to be learnt for faithful Christians and churches today.
Selah moments...are those times when we don't just live our life, we examine it. We read certain events through the contemplative lenses of our God-given reflectacles. Selah moments enable us to slow down and internalize the message of Scripture with our internal eyes. Selah moments provide us with an appropriate place to pause and appropriate God's Word into our lives. In the pages of this book, I have gathered together some of my Selah moments. At first glance, it might look like a random collection of stories, poems, insights, and homilies. However, each of these writings began as an entry in my journal--the place where I write about what I think about. As you read these journal entries, I believe that some of them will remind you of your own journey. The chapters are grouped around the cast of characters who have walked with me in my original road show: my family, people I've encountered along the way, the living words of Scripture, and my Heavenly Father. The personalities in your production will be as unique as you are, just as your story lines will be your own. But I believe there will be moments in the reading of this text where the differences in the details become less and less important as you say to yourself, "I get that," "I've felt the same way," "I've asked myself that very question," "I thought I was the only one who'd ever gone through that." As your emotions are engaged, I hope that your time in this book will become more and more like a conversation with a friend and fellow pilgrim. And I pray that the Selah Stuff in these pages will remind you to stop, look, and listen to what God is saying in the moments of your own life.
The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) bear a much closer relationship to one another than any one of them does to the Gospel of John. While some of the material in each of these Gospels is unique, in some cases two Gospels share events and teaching in the life of Jesus (the double tradition), while in other cases three Gospels share events and teaching in Jesus' life (the triple tradition). The author of each Gospel penned what he understood about the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and their significance. The four canonical Gospels are our most authoritative sources for the earthly life of Jesus Christ. In 2023 I published A Synopsis of the Synoptic Gospels (English version), a device which facilitates comparison of the Synoptic Gospels, enabling the reader to see immediately which passages, or sections, in each Gospel are unique to that Gospel, which sections are shared between two Gospels, and which sections are common to three Gospels. The present work is a commentary on my Synopsis, discussing the passages unique to one Gospel and drawing attention to both the shared and differing perspectives of the author of each Gospel in the double and triple traditions. A Gospel synopsis is an invaluable tool not only for scholars and preachers, but for anyone who wants to increase their understanding of the Synoptic Gospels and the life of Jesus.
The season of Advent is an invitation-an opportunity to slow down and take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus' coming. While we love to zoom in on the birth of sweet Baby Jesus, we celebrate Christmas because of Easter. Jesus' coming was more than providing a way to eternal life in heaven. He came to restore the broken relationship between God and us so that we might dwell in His presence-both now and forever. Jesus is our Way Maker.This study is not meant to be another "to do" on your list or create more stress in an already stressful season; it's a simple invitation to reflect on the character of the One who came and made a way.This study includes:¿ 13 self-paced readings through the book of Hebrews designed to bring your attention to Jesus as the Way Maker¿ Two simple questions and space to journal a prayer for each reading¿ Optional deeper study for each chapter¿ Six devotionals to help further your understanding of the passages and provide encouragement¿ A guided section to remember and reflect on the past year and see God's character in your lifeThe word feast is rooted in abundance, and that's what awaits us in Scripture: a table laid out before us, not only for our essential nourishment, but also for our enjoyment.ALSO AVAILABLE: Listen to the companion teachings, get recommended resources, and more at FeastingOnTruth.com/WayMaker.
In recent decades, the traditional definition of the original text of the New Testament (NT) has shifted from seeking one singular text to seeking a number of texts. Instead of one ""authorial"" text, now it is claimed that it could be one of several different texts based on their locations in the history of transmission: preauthorial, authorial, canonical, and postcanonical. These distinctions were first listed by Eldon Epp in his article ""The Multivalence of the Term 'Original Text' in New Testament Textual Criticism"" as ""predecessor,"" ""autographic,"" ""canonical,"" and ""interpretive"" text-forms. It is apparent that with such changing definitions of the original text of the NT, text-critics are ambivalent regarding reaching the traditional goal of NT textual criticism. Instead, attention is now given towards hypothesizing regarding the emergence of the variant readings. Furthermore, any attempt towards utilizing text-critical principles to reach the original text is looked upon as being out of date and pointless. All such shifting definitions of the original text and the ensuing claims have far-reaching consequences for biblical faith and praxis.In this work, three different scholars will present their methodologies for retrieving the original text of the NT. No matter how each of the presenters evaluates the text-critical evidence, it is obvious that they all believe in the inerrancy and retrievability of the NT text.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah-not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant.This short yet impactful account of Jesus' life reveals the character of the One who came to save us. Jesus mourned the brokenness around Him: the sickness, the pain, the hardness of heart. He grew angry at the sin of those who led His sheep astray. He was the One who came not to be served, but to serve. He came to prove the faithfulness of God and provide unshakeable hope as we walk through hardships.Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better. And that's good news!This study is designed to provide a foundation for inductive Bible study and will help you: ¿ Release the bonds of a "perfect quiet time" to find deeper, richer time in the Word ¿ Build confidence as you learn how to study the Bible firsthand ¿ Discover truths about God and His character ¿ Connect the Old and New Testaments ¿ Grow in your faith and knowledge in a way that produces life change The word feast is rooted in abundance, and that's what awaits us in Scripture: a table laid out before us, not only for our essential nourishment, but also for our enjoyment.ALSO AVAILABLE: For companion teachings, group discussion questions, and other resources, visit FeastingOnTruth.com/Mark.
When the disciples said to Jesus, as recorded in Luke 11:1, "Lord, teach us to pray," they were, for once, asking for the right thing...Anyone who tries to take up his cross and follow Jesus and does not learn how to pray is like a towing company that tries to move stalled cars with bicycles and ropes. If we rely on nothing but human power, the life Jesus calls us to is impossible.On his or her own, not even the most stable, most healthy, most intelligent and most determined person can do it. Only as we are intimately connected with God through prayer will we find the forgiveness, strength, inspiration and direction needed to live the life Jesus described and expected of his followers. Prayer is not the only thing needed by disciples. It is just the most important thing... Much needs to happen in us and in our world, and it all starts with prayer. So we come to God and say, "Lord, teach us to pray."
