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 Chapter 10 emphasizes spiritual understanding (Dan 10:1, Dan 10:11, Dan 10:12, Dan 10:14, Dan 10:20); Power of effective prayer (Dan 10:1-12); Importance of spiritual understanding (Dan 10:11-14); Angelic conflict on the course of nations (Dan 10:13-14, Dan 10:20-21); Occupation with Christ (Dan 10:15-19); Importance of relation of nations to Divine Integrity (Dan 10:19-20). Prayer, to be effective, must be made operational (Jam 5:16, 1Jo 5:14-15). 536 BC the decree was given by Cyrus to return to Jerusalem (Ezr 1:1-4); Only 50,000 return (Ezr 2:64-65). Dan has a vision which "was true" (Dan 10:1). Cults present false Christs and deities (2Co 11:3-4, 2Co 11:13-15). Daniel fasted for three weeks (Dan 10:2-3) to focus on prayer for Israel. Daniel's vision (Dan 10:4-6) of Jesus Christ is similar John's vision in Revelation (Rev 1:13-16).
