https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 82 THE LAST MESSAGE TO DANIEL - 4 Daniel 11:32 - 12:13 Okay, good to have everybody back. This will be program number four, and then we’ll be out of here on time today. Okay, we’re still sending out these Question and Answer books. It is eighty-eight questions, if I remember right, answered from our previous program materials. They’re a good light people are using. They’re a good tract and answer a lot of basic questions. Okay, Herb, if you’ll take this book. Thanks. So if you’re interested, why give the office a call. We send them out with an invoice. They’re $11.00. I think they’re worth it. Okay, we’re winding up pretty much the Book of Daniel in this program. We’ll go back to Daniel chapter 12. Like I said in the first half hour this afternoon, in the opening verses it spoke of resurrection. There’s probably more resurrection taught in Daniel chapter 12 than all the rest of the Old Testament, because you don’t have a lot of resurrection teaching in the Old Testament. The first one I ever found—way, way back when I was just all of a sudden brought to my senses that I hadn’t been taught everything there was to know, and I had to search for some of these things. I’m going to open with that one. Go all the way back with me to the little Book of Job. Oh, I guess it’s not a little book, but back to Job chapter 19. This was the first concept that I pulled out of the Old Testament concerning resurrection. And then, of course, Paul, in I Corinthians 15, just opens the whole Pandora’s Box—if I can use the expression—of resurrection details and kind of fills everything in. But back here in Job chapter 19, drop down to verse 25. And as far as we know, Job is probably the oldest written book of our whole Bible. Now, look what the man writes. Job 19:25 “For I know (no if’s, and’s, or but’s) for I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:” Now there’s your first inkling, then, of a coming earthly Kingdom with God the Son as the King. All right, “He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” Now, here comes the resurrection part. Job 19:26 “And though after my skin worms destroy this body, (in other words, physical death) yet in my flesh (in resurrected flesh) I shall see God:” Now, that’s as plain as you can get it so far as Old Testament language is concerned. All right, now come up to Daniel. Even though we’re going to start—Jerry’s got it on the board—in verse 8, let’s just drop back a minute to verses 2 and 3, again. We looked at it in the first half hour, but I told you then—I’m going to look at it later in the afternoon. Chapter 12 reviewing verses 2 and 3. Daniel 12:2-3 “And many of them who sleep in the dust of the earth (in other words, have died physically) shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” All right, I think I’m inclined to take you back, again—like we did in the first half hour this afternoon—just quickly to John’s Gospel chapter 5, so that you understand that Jesus is saying almost the same thing that Daniel is. Naturally, it’s the Scripture. It’s inspired of the Holy Spirit. All right, John chapter 5, again, verses 28 and 29. John 5:28-29 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, (Sometime out there in the future—we’re closer now by 2,000 years than when Jesus spoke it.) in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29. And shall come forth; they who have done good, (Or people of faith, as we mentioned before.) unto the resurrection of life; and they who have done evil, unto the resurrection of condemnation.” Now, we don’t know until we get to the Book of Revelation that those two events are separated by over 1,000 years. The resurrection of the just takes place before the Kingdom, and the resurrection of the lost is at the end of the Kingdom. We’ll look at that a little bit later in this half hour. Now, come back with me to Daniel chapter 12, again. Now verse 8, and again he repeats what he said earlier in the book: Daniel 12:8a “And I heard, but I understood not:...” Now just stop and think a minute. All these visions and prophecies that Daniel had seen throughout his lifetime—from the time he was a lad of fourteen until now when he’s up in his 90’s—and he had seen some of them fulfilled. But a lot of this was still way out in the future, and he couldn’t even begin to comprehend it. He says so. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
