This video summarizes several longer ones on the importance of reading the Bible in Chronological order.
It’s a useful motivational one to prepare people for reading through the Bible in Chronological Order in the coming year. I created this one for a business group and they liked it. It’s a little less serious than the ones I do for church audiences and I tried not to make assumptions that people knew what I was talking about in this. [Read more…]
The setting for this lesson is that—time has run out. After hundreds of years of warnings and challenges, it’s over for Judah.
Daniel and Ezekiel are in Babylon taken there in an early deportation before the end came in Jerusalem. What seemed horrible to them at the time was a great blessing in disguise— they were kept from the horrors of the siege, the total destruction of Jerusalem, and final deportation.
