Bible Study Notes on Daniel 4 – 20160511

Daniel 4:1  "Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth..." A letter from the king sent to his kingdom. 2  "I thought it good to shew..."

Daniel 3:1  "Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits..." Image of gold.  Either one of Babylon's gods or perhaps of Nebuchadnezzar himself after the dreams he had.  I tend to lean toward Neb himself since it was probably a great boost to his …

Bible Study Notes on 2 Peter 2 – 20160420

2 Peter 2:1  "...false prophets also among the people..." The old testament mentions the existence of the false prophets and occasionally mentions them by name, but not often.  Would be interesting to know how many there were or how prevalent it was for the false ones to speak out. 1  "...false teachers among you...denying the …

2 Peter 1:4  "...exceeding great and precious promises...by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature..." Promise of salvation.  Promise that our sins are forgiven and are no longer held against us.  Promise that when our bodies fail on this earth, we will find ourselves with Christ.  Promise that our bodies will be resurrected …
