https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 81 THE SON GIVEN DOMINION AND A KINGDOM - 2 Daniel 7:9-14 Okay, good to see everybody back again. You’ve had your coffee and your break. Again, for those of you watching us on television, remember, we always make four of these in an afternoon and in between times have a coffee break. That’s the reason that we keep it informal. For those of you that are joining us, we trust that you will learn to study the Word, and many of you are. My, we are so thrilled with the response that we’re getting of people finally learning to study and to enjoy this Book. I had a phone call the other day. You could just sense the young man’s exuberance. He said, “Les, I’ve never found anything so exciting.” And it is! It’s a glorious Book! And this is what I like to show—how all the Scriptures fit together. And you know, the scornful out there, they don’t have a clue, do they? They just don’t have a clue. All right, we’re going to pick up again where we left off back in Daniel chapter 7. But I want to go back to verse 14, even though we discussed it in the last half hour. I want to come back because I’m beginning to realize more and more that most of Christendom, most Church people, has no concept of this earthly Kingdom. They may have heard the term “millennial,” or they may have heard the term “the thousand years,” but they have no concept that this is literally going to be a Kingdom with a King and ruled with government. It’s going to be without any sin, without any of the curse. But nevertheless, there are going to be flesh and blood humans from every nation on earth that are going to be involved in this glorious coming Kingdom. Now just to show you how it has been referred to all though Scripture, even though we did a series on the Kingdom not too long ago, we’re going to rehearse it again. But before we go back, let’s look at verse 14. God the Son came before God the Father in verse 13, now verse 14: Daniel 7:14 “And there was given him (to the Son) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, (Plain as English can make it. And in this Kingdom--) that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: (He’s the King!) his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” Now I say this with some trepidation. I’m convinced that this earthly Kingdom is going to slip on into eternity. Fortunately, the Lord led me to a well-written book way back, I think maybe even before Iris and I were married. It was written by a theology professor not in Dallas Theological Seminary, but of Dallas Bible School of sorts. I had a gentleman in one of my classes the other night who vows up and down that he was in that Bible School and he probably would be able to find the book for me again. But anyhow, the book was just simply laying out so clearly this concept of the 1,000 year rule and reign of Christ, and how that even at the end of the 1,000 years it will go right on into eternity. Now on that basis, let’s come back and look at Revelation again before we go back further into the Old Testament. Come with me to Revelation 21, and I say this with trepidation. I don’t put this in concrete by saying, now this is the way you’ve got to believe it. But to me it’s worthy of thinking. It’s worthy of considering that since this 1,000 year Kingdom reign is spoken of over and over as forever and ever and ever, then it must go into eternity. Now are those people in the Kingdom going to go in as flesh and blood? No, I don’t think so. I think they’ll receive an eternal body of sorts. But nevertheless, come back to Revelation 21. This is interesting. We know that this universe is going to be totally melted down and dissolved according to II Peter and other Scriptures, but here in chapter 21 we’ve got an interesting concept. Revelation 21 verse 1, and just look at what it says. After the Tribulation and after the 1,000 years, after the Great White Throne—nothing left but eternity, and what does John see? Revelation 21:1 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: (That’s what it says.) for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” Now let’s go back to Peter. I can’t just make mention of something and not let you read it with your own eyes. Come back to Peter, and I have to look a minute whether it’s first or second, it is chapter 3, I know. II Peter chapter 3—let’s go back and look at it. I think we did it in our last taping session, which is only a program or two if you watch it every day. But if you’re just watching it by the week, it’s already quite a while back. II Peter chapter 3 verse 10, now remember, the “day of the Lord” starts at the beginning of the Tribulation #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
