2 Timothy 3:15-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Scripture, the Bible, according to this text, is profitable or beneficial for 1) doctrine or teaching, 2) re- proof or showing us what we did that was not right, 3) correction or bringing us into the right way, 4) and instruction in righteousness. The Bible is God’s Basic Instructions Before leaving Earth! Transition: And the Bible contains God’s plan for our future.
2 Peter 1:16-21 Prophecy is even more correct than an eyewitness. Prophecy is not subject to any private interpreta- tion. We must let God’s Word interpret itself. When the Bible interprets itself we can know that what we have found is true and reliable. * Jesus tells us the reason for prophecy in John 14:29...
John 14:29 Jesus tells us things before they take place so that when they do take place we will believe. * How far in advance can God tell the future? What claim does He make?
Isaiah 46:9, 10 God tells us the end from the beginning. God can tell us in the beginning what will happen in the end! Can you do that? Not a chance! * Now we are going to take a look at a foundational prophecy in the book of Daniel. This prophecy spans all of history to the present time.
Daniel 2:26-30 Reasons for Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: 1. Show what would happen in the latter days/end of time 2. Show what would happen between Nebuchadnezzar’s day and the end of time
Daniel 2:31-35 Daniel gives Nebuchadnezzar his dream . Head Chest and Arms Belly and Thighs Legs Feet/Toes Stone Stone becomes a great mountain and fills the whole earth Gold Silver Bronze Iron Iron/Clay Cut out without hands
Daniel 2:36-38 Nebuchadnezzar is told that he is this head of gold. As Babylon’s king, he represented his kingdom. Thus the head of Gold was Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon ruled between 605 bc - 539 BC
Daniel 2:39a Another kingdom (Head of gold was also a kingdom) will arise after Babylon.
Daniel 5:25-31 Babylon was conquered by Medo-Persia. Medo-Persia ruled between 539 bc - 331 BC
Daniel 2:39b A third kingdom will arise after Medo-Persia
Daniel 8:20-21 This third kingdom was Greece, the kingdom that came after Medo-Persia. Greece ruled between 331BC-168 BC
Daniel 2:40 A fourth kingdom will arise. This fourth kingdom ruled between 168 BC - 476 AD Jesus was crucified during the time of this fourth kingdom. * Who was ruling when Jesus was crucified?
Daniel 2:41-45 Rome is divided into 10 divisions as represented by the toes. Divided Rome spans to our day! In the days of the kings that appear to be putting it all together. The event that culminates this period of time (the reign of divided Rome) is God establishing His Kingdom. God will establish His Kingdom next and it will last for eternity!
* The stone turns the metal man into dust that is blown away by the wind. We can either be crushed under the rock that represents Christ’s Kingdom, or we can be broken and depend on Him.
