Go your way Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end...none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. (Daniel 12:9-10)
The Archangel Michael told Daniel that the prophecies would be sealed until the time of the end. Discover how the prophecies in the book of Daniel are being unsealed in the events taking place today.
Since Daniel was told that the wise will understand the message and lead many to righteousness, while the wicked will not grasp its meaning and will continue in their wickedness, it is imperative for everyone living in these end times to diligently examine and attempt to comprehend the vital message Daniel has recorded for us.
Daniel's visions were given for those living at the time of the end. The wise will diligently search the word of the Lord and ask for wisdom in order to understand God's plan as outlined in Daniel's five visions.
1) Daniel 2 - Covers the entire time of the Gentiles from 605-6 BC when the first dispersion of the Jews (Diaspora) took place until the time in the very near future when a remnant will flee from the persecution under the Antichrist for 31/2 years.
2) Daniel 7 - The four beasts in chapter 7 are different from the four kingdoms in chapter 2. They represent four nations that arise at the time of the end just prior to the second coming of Christ. Two of the four beasts have already surfaced (Great Britain and Russia), and the two remaining beasts: the Arab coalition of countries and the alliance of the United States and Europe are about to emerge on the world scene.
3) Daniel 8 - Daniel's little horn in this chapter corresponds with the false prophet in the book of Revelation. This deceitful person will destroy many by peace and cause everyone to worship the coming Antichrist.
4) Daniel 9 - God's extended period of grace was shown to the Jewish people over a period of 70 weeks of years or 490 years (7 x 70). Discover the wonderful message God has for all of humanity in one of the most misunderstood Scriptures concerning the latter days. This vision reflects God's unlimited forgiveness Jesus brings to anyone who will call upon Him.
5) Daniel 10-12 - The final vision of the time of the end, which was delivered by the preincarnate Christ, covers the final 31/2 years before the second coming of Christ. Discover important startling events that the Prophet Daniel tells us are about to take place as these end time prophecies are fulfilled before our eyes.
When Jesus came the first time, the wise men of the day were aware of His soon arrival and they were actively looking for Him. Daniel's visions were given in order for people to know what to expect during these lasts days. Jesus is coming again very soon. Now, more than ever, we must prepare. We need to ask ourselves if we are really ready. Just as important, are we helping others prepare? Today, those who are wise will be passionately sharing this message and helping others prepare. Those doing so will shine like the stars forever and ever.
May the Lord grant us a heart of wisdom to understand the time we are living in so we can prepare for what lies ahead

The Book of Enoch was real and revered across the spectrum of Second-Temple Judaism-those forms of Judaism that thrived in the Intertestamental period(ca.500BC to AD 100) The book is more properly referred to as 1 Enoch to distinguish it from other books bearing the name Enoch that were composed later than this period(e.g., 2Enoch, 3 Enoch).
The purpose of a Reader's Commentary is to help readers of 1 Enoch comprehend what the book's content is with great insight and clarity. Its use does not require original language skills on the part of the user. Consequently, this Reader's Commentary on 1 Enoch is not written for scholars. Anyone who has decided to devote the time to reading 1 Enoch, perhaps for the first time, will find this resource eminently useful.
A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary is based on the translation of 1 Enoch by R. H Charles (1917). Important original language insights and differences in manuscripts of 1 Enoch are noted and explained as are theological concepts
Jeanne Guyon was a woman who understood the cost of the words: For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
The influence Jeanne Guyon has never wavered with the passing of centuries. Three hundred years later she is still one of the most influential people in the lives of those who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
In reading this book you will notice that Jeanne Guyon presents a more inward, Christ-centered perspective than is usually found in our present-day concept of Christian commentaries. Here is her commentary on the book Song of Songs as seen from the principles and dynamics of the deeper Christian life.

Job was a man who seemed to have everything and seemed to lose everything. He had to endure the pain and discover God and His good plan in the midst of it all.
In this commentary David Guzik explains the Book of Job chapter by chapter, verse by verse, helping you to understand this amazing story about Job, and pointing to Jesus Christ.

The editors of The Jewish Annotated New Testament show how and why Jews and Christians read many of the same Biblical texts - including passages from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Psalms - differently. Exploring and explaining these diverse perspectives, they reveal more clearly Scripture's beauty and power.
Esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and Christians, over time, understood those same texts. Passages include the creation of the world, the role of Adam and Eve, the Suffering Servant of Isiah, the book of Jonah, and Psalm 22, whose words, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me, Jesus quotes as he dies on the cross.
Comparing various interpretations - historical, literary, and theological - of each ancient text, Levine and Brettler offer deeper understandings of the original narratives and their many afterlives. They show how the text speaks to different generations under changed circumstances, and so illuminate the Bible's ongoing significance. By understanding the depth and variety by which these passages have been, and can be, understood, The Bible With and Without Jesus does more than enhance our religious understandings, it helps us to see the Bible as a source of inspiration for any and all readers.
