The Book of Daniel, found in the Old Testament, mystifies everyone who reads it. The prophecies seem to stump even the mature believer. Yet, most of the book of Daniel has already been fulfilled and the world history records contain the proof. In this book, Dr. Hastings clearly cites the history behind the fulfilled prophecy and includes pictures of coins and statues that show the faces of those who the LORD used to fulfill the prophecies found in Daniel. Yet, a few prophecies remain to be fulfilled in the future. Find out what's left to be fulfilled in the future in this unique commentary of the book of Daniel.This book can be used for either personal or group Bible studies in the book of Daniel! Eighty-one prophecies are found in the Book of Daniel. Fifty-nine of the prophecies have been fulfilled as of the writing of this commentary. Twenty-two prophecies remain to be fulfilled. The Chapters in this commentary match the chapters in your Bible. Think of this commentary as a Study Bible for the Book of Daniel.

John was the youngest man to be selected by the LORD to be one of His twelve Apostles, yet, he was also the longest living of the twelve. When John picked up his pen to write this Gospel, all the other Apostles were with the LORD in heaven; all the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, Peter, Paul, and Jude were completed and circulating as Scripture among all the Churches.Shortly before his death, in the last decade of his life, John wrote this Gospel, his three small letters, and the Revelation.Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the synoptic Gospels because they basically tell the same information about the same events. Matthew writes for himself, Mark writes the eyewitness account of Peter, and Luke writes the eyewitness account of Paul. Each brings different memories of the same events in the LORD's life. We are thankful for John's Gospel because he brings memories of the LORD's life that are not found in the three other Gospels and are important to the Church. John fills in the gaps between all the stories in the synoptic Gospels. Besides providing enlightening commentary to the Scriptures found in the Gospel of John, where John jumps over material found in synoptic Gospels, Dr. Hastings includes 36 charts to show all the events found in the synoptics, but not included in this Gospel. By harmonizing the four Gospels in this way, we have a complete story of the LORD's ministry chronologically and can trace the LORD's footsteps across the Promised Land. The chapters in this commentary match the chapters in your Bible. Think of this commentary as a Study Bible for the Gospel of John.

As the first book of the New Testament, Matthew's Gospel provides all the information needed for a Jewish person to accept Jesus as the Messiah. Matthew was the oldest of the Apostles and could personally testify to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of the LORD. This commentary lays the foundation for understanding the rest of the New Testament! The chapters in this commentary match the chapters in your Bible. Think of it as a Study Bible for the Book of Matthew.

The REVELATION - It is amazing, mystifying, baffling, astonishing, surprising, bewildering, but every word is true! Every word will be fulfilled in the same order, in the same way, in the same time! We call this book a prophecy about the future but perhaps that is the wrong way to think about it. Actually, the LORD's prophecies are promises. Just so we know, the LORD always keeps His promises - exactly as He promised - with no differences, discrepancies, divergences or deviations. The contents in the story of the REVELATION are actually a timeline. The letters to the Churches are part of that timeline, too. Come check out the timelines in the Revelation and the commentary I have added along the way! The chapters in this commentary match the chapters in your Bible!

The book of Exodus was written by the author of Genesis, Moses. Although this book focuses on the departure of the nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt, it begins with a short synopsis of the original participants of that nation who first arrived in Egypt 2281 years after the creation of Adam. The eventual bondage of the nation is addressed followed by the birth of Moses, the author of this book. He was born 2631 years after the creation of Adam; 80 years later, in 2711, he led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness where they would remain for 40 years. However, the books of Genesis and Exodus were completed by the second year in the wilderness; therefore, the book of Exodus ends 2713 years after the creation of Adam. Before this book ends, this freed nation will have a leader, a law, a place of worship, a priesthood and an army prepared to take possession of the land promised to them by the LORD since the days of Abraham. This book is laid out in the same order as your Bible for easy searching. For example, if you are looking for commentary on a verse in Chapter 2 in your Bible, you can find those same verses and commentary in Chapter 4 of this book. Enjoy!

The book of First Samuel picks up the story of the Nation of Israel about 360 years after the Exodus from Egypt. The first ninety years out from Egypt, Israel was led by Moses and Joshua. With Joshua's death, the nation was supposed to follow the LORD's laws with the LORD as their leader and the High Priest as His ultimate judge on earth over the people. The LORD delegated authority to the High Priest, and the High Priest delegated authority to judges and prophets. But over the next 270 years, the people grew weary of relying on the priestly line and sought a different earthly leader. The birth of the prophet Samuel is introduced, and his association with Eli, the High Priest, starts the storyline. Eli is not a good High Priest. As an adult, Samuel became the major prophet in Israel. In Chapter 8, the people of the tribe of Manasseh ask Samuel for a king to rule over them. King Saul is chosen. Early in King Saul's rule, he disobeyed the LORD's instruction, and the LORD had Samuel anoint the shepherd boy, David, about 17 years old, to be the next king after King Saul. David will be introduced to King Saul that year. David will kill Goliath. The people will love David; King Saul will begin to hate David. Over the next 13 years, King Saul will try to kill David. Many of King Saul's men will join David while he runs from Saul. Finally, in the last chapter, Saul is dead. David will become the King of Israel. The storyline in this book has many twists and turns and is very interesting and enjoyable. The chapters in this book match the chapters in your Bible.

Hub City, Kansas. The Year 2235. The near-utopian Capital of America has been under attack over the past few days by a terror group called the Unwanted. Random bombings, shootings and physical assaults have put the entire population on edge. Chief Officer Cooper 08/06/2206 and his team have been busy trying to stave the flow of violence-with little effect so far-and they're starting to succumb to the pressure. Now, in Part Four of YEAR OF THE KING, the Unwanted are upping their game-bringing their war even closer to home-and it's up to Cooper, Quinne, Liam and Swiss to do everything in their power to stop the terror cell from destroying even more lives. But with the Birth Laws hindering their investigation and the President insisting that Celebration Day and the Mars 8 Launch go on despite the dangers, doing "everything in their power" may either get them killed ... or thrown in the Kansas State Penitentiary forever. Filled with fast-moving action, suspense and drama, YEAR OF THE KING is a page-turning, episodic thrill-ride that will appeal to fans of Logan's Run, Battlestar Galactica, Ender's Game, Minority Report, Total Recall, Oblivion, Almost Human, Extant and Demolition Man.

Paul's faithful companion and doctor acts as a scribe to record Paul's eyewitness testimony of the Lord's birth and life as seen and encountered by a Pharisee of the Pharisees. As a Pharisee, Paul, then known as Saul, violently objected to the Lord's life and ministry. Thankfully, Dr. Luke provides in this transcript of Paul's testimony all the needed historical facts to identify the year and season of Jesus' birth and death and His wonderful ministry. It was a testimony to one Roman man, but it also contains all that Gentiles need to know to accept the Lord as the Savior of their lives.

Meet Terry Gristle, a fifty-something veteran detective with too much time on his hands and nothing to live for except his pension. He's got four ex-wives, five angry kids, one good typing finger and a hot-headed partner who has been the cause of two of Terry's six heart attacks. At first glance, you see a cliché-a cheap carbon copy of every burnt-out 80s detective ever to hit the screen both big and small. But look a little deeper and you'll see something more than a balding, overweight, gravel-voiced grump whose five o'clock shadow arrives seven hours in advance. You'll see a man whose tough exterior belies the gentle soul that lives within. Sure he may use old slang words like slacks, cuppa joe, glove-box, dame and gams. And yeah, he may wax poetic about the good ol' days of walking the beat, getting free hotdogs at Gray's Papaya and enjoying his idea of "fine dinin'" at the Sizzler and Beefsteak Charlie's. But know this: Terry Gristle is the real deal. And he's every bit a part of today's world as you and I. Terrygrams: Diary Of A Defective Detective, is a collection of blog posts written between 2008 and 2011 by New York City Detective Terry Gristle. The compilation features several comedy scenes from the lost-in-development-hell television program Slender & Gristle (written by author Jim Hastings). Terrygrams will appeal to fans of Louis, Maron and Reno 911 as well as every old cop show known to modern man.
