John’s primary PURPOSE is that believers will enter and maintain fellowship with God, with the RESULT of inner joy.“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that our joy may be full … These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1Jo 1:3-4; 1Jo 5:13 (emphasis added)
This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistle of First John.

Daniel #10
Daniel is a textbook in three ways: (1) outline of times of Gentiles - the Jews under Gentile domination (600 BC to the cross to the Kingdom). It skips the church (Revelation picks up in 96 AD and covers the church in chapters 2-3). (2) How to live under heathen rulers. Paul synthesizes this in Romans thirteen; (3) How to deal with heathenism in evangelism (Romans chapter one). Daniel supplies evidence to Belshazzar as to why he'll get judged (Dan 5:18-21). Evidence rejected (Dan 5:22-23). Judgment of God (Dan 5:24-28). God gave Nebuchadnezzar complete authority (Rom 13:1); grandeur (administration capability); glory (recognition of capability); majesty (world-wide reputation). When Nebuchadnezzar was arrogant his throne was taken away (Dan 5:20). When he believed God his throne was restored (Dan 5:21). Belshazzar did not humble his heart (Dan 5:22, Rom 12:3, Num 12:3). He knew all about his grandfather. Arrogance darkens the soul; the substitue is vein imagination (Rom 1:21). God is evident to heathens (Rom 1:18-20). God's fairness cannot be impuned (the heathen will find out). The heathen professes wisdom, but become insolant (Rom 1:21-32). The writing on the wall (Dan 5:24-28) "God has assessed your kingdom and put an end to it" (1Sa 2:3, Job 31:6, Psa 62:9, Pro 16:2). Darius is given Babylon by Cyrus the Great (Dan 5:31, Dan 10:1). Daniel (promoted by God) is set over the Medo ruled area (Dan 6:1)
