Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Daniel #10

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)
