In between the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the first letter of the Apostle John we read two chapters of Daniel.

November 24: Daniel 9, Daniel 10 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Daniel 9 is all about Daniel’s prayer and the “seventy sevens”. Many have tried to predict the return of Jesus Christ based on this prophesy. So far, all have failed. Even Jesus said he could not predict the day of his return, only that it is imminent. God only knows, and He ain’t telling. We live in “today” and “today” is  the day of salvation.

Daniel 10. Daniel saw a vision of a man. It is described in colorful images, much like the way Jesus Christ is pictured in the book of Revelation. He became completely exhausted, fell asleep and was having a dream. In this dream the angel Michael spoke to him and told Daniel about his own struggle and about future events.

In between the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the first letter of the Apostle John we read one chapter of Proverbs and one chapter of Daniel.

November 23: Proverbs 24, Daniel 8 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Proverbs 24 completes the sayings of the wise, and begins some more sayings of the wise. The two last verses are notable: “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:  So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.”

Daniel 8 tells of the prophet Daniel’s vision of a ram and a goat, with the two-horned ram representing Media and Persia, and the goat representing Greece.

In between the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the first letter of the Apostle John we read just one chapter of Daniel.

November 22: Daniel 7 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Daniel 7. Daniel had a dream of four great beasts, a lion, a bear, a leopard and something dreadful and terrible, symbolizing four kings yet to come. Historically, the fourth beast has been said to be the Roman Empire, but I have taken the liberty to forward the hypothesis that it speaks of the rise of Islam. See if you agree.

Today we read the last chapter of the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the sixth chapter of Daniel.

November 21: 2 Peter 3, Daniel 6 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Peter 3. We live in the last days. God’s promise is not slack.  There is coming a  Day of the Lord, so be steadfast.

Daniel 6. Time passed. Daniel was by then about 80 years old. He was still praying as he always did, three times a day but not to King Darius, and for that he was thrown into the lions’ den. God sent his angel to protect Daniel, so the next morning he was rescued unharmed, but for his accusers, thrown into the same den after Daniel came out, it turned out the lions were really hungry.

Today we read the second chapter of the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the fifth chapter of Daniel.

November 20: 2 Peter 2, Daniel 5 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Peter 2. Even in the first century there arose destructive doctrines from a multitude of false teachers. They were all doomed because of their depravity and attempt to deceive.

Daniel 5. This is the famous chapter with the handwriting on the wall: “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin“

November 19, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

Today we read the first chapter of the second letter of the Apostle Peter and the fourth chapter of Daniel.

November 19: 2 Peter 1, Daniel 4 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Peter 1. The Apostle was greeting the faithful, urging them to be fruitful in the faith as they apply the eight godly virtues. Peter reminded them of his approaching death and kept emphasizing the trustworthiness of the prophetic word.

Daniel 4 tells in vivid detail Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a tree, his fall and restoration.

November 18, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

In between the first and second letter of the Apostle Peter we read two Psalms and the third chapter of Daniel.

November 18: Psalm 145, Psalm 146, Daniel 3 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 145, a Psalm of Praise, of David. In an acrostic fashion David praised God for his fame, glory and for His  goodness; for his kingdom and His providence, and most of all for his saving mercy.

Psalm 146 begins the five final songs in the Book of Psalms, known as the Hallelujah Psalms. This one gives praise to the Lord for creation, for what He is doing and will do forever.

Daniel 3 tells about the image of gold that all had to worship, and the fiery furnace prepared for the three Hebrews that refused. From Sunday School we all know how that went.

November 17, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

In between the first and second letter of the Apostle Peter we read one chapter of Proverbs and the second chapter of Daniel.

November 17: Proverbs 23, Daniel 2 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Proverbs 23, Sayings of the Wise. Do not be a glutton, do not desire riches, do not be a moocher, do not argue with a fool, do not change ancient landmarks, do not withhold correction from a child, do not envy sinners because they are having fun, do not drink wine to excess, do not despise your mother when she is old, honor your father and mother, keep away from harlots, stay sober and do not succumb to alcohol.

Daniel 2 contains Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and only Daniel could interpret it. Of particular interest is “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.“
