Lessons

The lesson on June 12, 2016 was part 24 of “The Apocalypse” study. This lesson gave a review of the previous lesson in asking the question “will every person receive a resurrection?” but then started to explore the overlap of Daniel 7 with Revelation 13.  With this overlap, we see that there are insights into the two beasts, the one that comes out of the sea and the other out of earth.  A brief mention of the Book of Life was made but the majority of the lesson we studied how Daniel 7 provides us clarity on what the beasts are particularly the non-descriptive beast that is in Revelation 13. Daniel is helped with interpretation in his visions so we receive the help to understand the king, their kingdoms and the beast.   The scripture reading was from Daniel 7:25-28 KJV

“25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. 28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.”
