This study was presented in the August 2013 Bible conference in Southern California.Though Corinth was a “problem church” for Paul, how thankful we ought to be for them, for without their problems and questions, we would not have the answers and guidance provided in this wonderful letter. As with all the epistles, the challenge is to lay hold of the character of Christ. We are to be “transformed by the renewing of [our] minds” (Rom 12:2), and to “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phi 2:5).
Key verses for this study:
- “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1Co 2:2 and
- “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you are truly unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” 1Co 5:7

Daniel #18
Daniel reviews gentile history; Revelation fills in the church age. The empire of Greece after Alexander, split four ways (Dan 8:8): Turkey, Greece, Syria, Eqypt. The little horn -- antichrist -- comes out of one of the 4 areas (Dan 8:5, Dan 8:9). Prophecy has a near and far fulfillment. Antiochus Epiphanies is a near fulfillment of the little horn. Satan is behind the antichrist (Rev 12:3-6). The antichrist makes himself in the place of Christ (Dan 8:11, Jos 5:14-15). The period of time that the sanctuary is "trodden under foot" is 3.5 years or 2300 days (Dan 8:12-14). Gabriel explains (Dan 8:15-19, Dan 9:21, Dan 10:13, Luk 1:26). The rapture happens at the "last trumpet" (1Co 15:52); the first trumpet gathers Israel (Num 10:1-2). Antichrist has Satan behind him (Dan 8:23-24, Dan 11:31-34) and opposes Jesus Christ the "Prince of Princes" (Dan 8:25). Daniel remained faithful to authority place over him (Dan 8:27).
