The Gospel Conference Series


Gene presented The Gospel According to Moses at the first annual Shenandoah Valley Bible Conference held April 21-23, 2017 in Winchester, Virginia.
This series is intended to demonstrate that the Gospel message, focusing on the Person and work of Jesus Christ, is the central message of the entire Bible. The coming of the Messiah and His saving work of redemption is presented throughout the Old Testament through direct prophetic statements, as well as using types and shadows. New Testament authors repeatedly refer to Old Testament expectations of the coming of the Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ.

Daniel #8

Daniel #8

Nebuchadnezzar had mental illness (lycanthropy) for 7 year (picture of the tribulation) Dan 4:33-37) . The fall of Babylon (fulfillment of Jer 27:6-8, Dan 2:39, Dan 7:5). Daniel 7 and 8 happen chronologically before Daniel 5. Prophecy of Cyrus (Isa 44:24-28, Isa 45:1-4). Prophecy of the judgment of Babylon (Jer 27:5-8, Dan 5:1-7). Belshazzar is a grandson of Nebuchadnezzar. Babylon and the palace was built over the Euphrates. Belshazzar when drunk calls for the Israeli temple utensils. (Dan 5:2-3). He rejected the prophecies and his grandfather's warnings, praising the gods of corrupt gentile nations (Dan 5:4). Drinking: (1) drunkenness is always a sin (Pro 20:1, Pro 23:20, Isa 5:11-22, Isa 28:7-8, Rom 13:13, 1Co 5:11, Eph 5:18). (2) Drunkenness disqualifies you from being a leader (Pro 31:4-5), a pastor (1Ti 3:3 Tit 1:7), or a deacons (1Ti 3:8). (3) Drunkenness is condemned in several Biblical characters: Noah Gen 9:21; Nabal 1Sa 25:36-37; Ephraim Isa 28:1; Lot Gen 19:32-36. (4) Alcohol has medicinal purposes - brain and nervous system, stomach, circulation (Pro 31:6-7, 1Ti 5:23). (5) Adverse effects of alcohol leads to impulsive and abusive behavior; it amplifies mental sins; diseases include paralysis, coma, brain tissue destruction, delirium. (6) Jesus made alcohol (Joh 2:1-11) but would not condone drunkenness. Water of the word turns into the wine of joy when received by faith (Jud 9:13, Psa 104:15). (7) Alcoholism in a society can bring about national disaster (Joe 1:4-6). (8) For believers drinking must be restrained: law of love (not making a weaker brother to stumble), law of expediency (unbeliever effects), law of supreme sacrifice (directed toward God). (9) Drinking relates to reversionism (Jer 13:12-17). (10) Drinking must be tempered by common sense - young people should be taught to wait.
