Show More
The two major divisions in the book of Daniel are the Stories of Daniel and the Apocalyptic visions of a brighter future for those under persecution(Tullock & McEntire,2012). There are two divisions in the book: (1) chapters 1-6 are basically narrative, and (2) chapters 7-12 are basically prophetic.

The first division deals with Daniel and his dealings in Babylon. He is captured and brought to Babylon (chapter 1). He interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the four world kingdoms (chapter 2). Daniel's three friends are rescued from the fiery furnace (chapter 3). King Nebuchadnezzar suffers insanity because of his pride (chapter 4). Daniel interprets the handwriting on the wall at the feast of Belshazzar (chapter 5). Daniel is thrown

    Analysis Of God's Big Picture By Vaughan Roberts

    The book God 's Big Picture is a 167-page book written by Vaughan Roberts and published by IVP Books. The sub title to this book is “Tracing the story line of the Bible”.

    Synthesis Essay: Nebuchadnezzar

    Through an investigation of the hermeneutical and archeological evidence available, Yamauchi argues that there is little reason to doubt that Daniel should be attributed to the sixth century B.C. Archaeological Background The main idea of this article is to reason that the available archaeological evidence testifies to a sixth century dating of the book of Daniel. First, Yamauchi explores the considerations given to Nebuchadnezzar. Here, the author brings into question the idea of the historical validity of a Babylonian campaign against Jerusalem. Yamauchi points to Wiseman’s observation that “the Chaldean Chronicles…indicate that Nebuchadnezzar claims to have conquered ‘all Hatti land,’ that is, Palestine, in 605, proving that an actual…

    Christian Change Daniel Understanding Everyone's Different Analysis

    The world will not ever totally understand the autistic mind due to every case being different. However, most people do not understand the workings of their minds. Kim Peek said this perfectly, “You don’t have to be disabled to be different because everybody’s different (Tammet 201).” People need to realize everyone comes to understand things differently and this also goes for putting faith in God. Daniel shared how he came to know God and that many people are surprised to hear that he is a Christian.…

    The Idea Of Kingship In 1 And 2 Chronicles

    The idea of Kingship is profoundly introduced within the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Chronicles. The people of Israel wanted a king, God granted them this but not without a warning that when the people cry out to him, he will not be there. The idea of Kingship within these books are complicated. God at the beginning warns the people of having a king will be bad for them and he disapproves, on the other hand God then finds men and puts his trust and gives wisdom to future kings that he himself has chosen.…

    Isiah And Jeremiah Essay

    Within the Old Testament, there are many different great tales which have long captivated the minds of the faithful with their creative stories, imaginative language, and depictions of overcoming struggles. While many would point to the stories of Moses and the liberation of the Israelites or the reign of King David as examples of this, perhaps the greatest instance would be that of the prophets. Admittedly such prophetic works generally are not as well regarded in the minds of readers, yet in spite of this, they still hold great characteristics which help to define them. For example, consider the works of the prophets Isiah and also Jeremiah who both have works that are attributed to them. Both hold men had to live in societies that viewed…

    The Siege Of Jerusalem In The Hebrew Bible

    The siege of Jerusalem is not just any mundane siege. In lieu of one side claiming victory, both sides had different stories themselves, rather than one linear story. From this point in the story, the three different sources from which the event is retold do not concur entirely on what transpires. The Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible tells of an angel that descended from heaven and smote the army of Sennacherib, driving him back into his maleficent capital of Nineveh (II Kings 19:35). Sennacherib’s Prism (Taylor’s Prism) tells of the great feats of the Assyrian king and how his siege of Jerusalem was just another piece in the expansion of his imperium.…

    Analysis Of Philip Yancey's Book 'The Bible Jesus Read'

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…

    An Epic Trilogy Analysis

    The bible has a version called epic trilogy which basically means that there are three versions of the bible. Epic as a trilogy is defined as “a multi-layered, interconnected love story, set in the midst of a life-and-death battle for the heart, fought in both a spiritual and physical world”. I always thought the bible as we know it was the only bible which starts with Genesis to Revelation is just the middle of the complete story of the bible there is a whole story line that come before and after. There are two other volumes that still needs to be written as a complete book and they are volume one and volume three. Even though this two versions haven’t been written yet there are passages in the volume two bible that pieces together parts of…
