The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

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)
