“Cry … ‘Abba, Father'”

Learning to Live in the Spirit of Adoption
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.'”
Romans 8:15
This study of spiritual adoption will hold many surprises for us. Not only is God the Father treated slightly in most works on theology, but the concept of sonship by spiritual adoption is scarcely understood.
Because of the biblical meaning of the term “adoption,” our study is forced to take a practical approach to the relationship of the believer to the heavenly Father. This approach is demanded by each of the passages in which the phrase “Abba, Father” is found.

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).
