Admittedly, this is not my favorite portion of scripture. To compensate for my lack of knowledge in the nuances of different interpretations of Daniel’s (crazy) visions, this week’s lesson PowerPoint is a compilation of links to sites — some of which I agree with, some of which I don’t, that offer explanations and clarifications of these prophecies. I hope that you’ll continue to study–and if you come up with a coherent interpretation of these passages–will you share them with me in the comments?

This week’s discussion revolved around the many questions from the book of Job. For one, why in the world is it not pronounced like it looks like it should be? :-)
We considered the problem of pain and suffering. God points out Job to Satan. Were it not for His actions, we could assume that Job’s life would have missed the suffering he experienced, and so on.
We looked at files from other congregations. Here are their materials:
More to come next week…

Dear faithful reader,
If you exist, I just wanted to let you know that I’m now caught up. Thanks to RememberTheMilk.com, I’ll now have a weekly reminder to put the PowerPoint files from our Wednesday night study of F. Lagard’s Chronological Bible on the site.
Sorry for the delay. I back-dated the posts to help with organization…

The fall of the kingdom takes a long time — and there tons of great lessons. Here’s our PowerPoint over Ezekiel and Jeremiah, with hints of Daniel for extra flavor.

If you want a good working definition of strange, Ezekiel gives you one.
First, an artist’s rendering of Ezekiel’s vision from Ezekiel 1. Pretty good, if you ask me…
Second, this week’s PowerPoint introduction to Ezekiel.
Finally, thanks to the VERY good people at Crossway, the introduction to the new, upcoming ESV Study Bible that you should preorder now, while still discounted. ESV Study Bible Intro to Ezekiel.
(FYI, it also includes an interview with the scholar who wrote this amazingly difficult commentary. His study method is mind-boggling. He has a sheet that has three columns: the Hebrew text, the Septuagint (greek), and the ESV…and he bases his comments off those texts. Enjoy!)

This is the first online Bible Bowl Quiz for Crieve Hall for Sycamore Bible Bowl 2008! You’ll need a SWF player (already in most browsers) to continue. Each test is timed–you have twenty minutes to answer ten questions. The questions come from the New King James Version of the Bible.
Please enter your name (first name and last initial, at least) at the beginning of the test. We promise it’s not going to anyone but us… When you’re done with the test, keep clicking the right arrow button until it brings you back to this page. You’ll have a chance to look over the questions that you missed.
Good luck — and remember, this is CLOSED Bible! :)
