Course Catalog / Eschatology
Daniel, basic for prophetic studies, gives a chapter by chapter explanation and deals with the times and person of Daniel. Topics include God's sovereignty, angelic agents, "the times of the Gentiles," the Tribulation, and the coming kingdom, all with special reference to Israel.
Daniel records one of the most difficult times in Israel's history, deportation and exile from the Promised Land. Yet during even the darkest times, God's faithfulness was apparent. Dedicated to obeying God's Law, Daniel became an advisor to the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar and a messenger of God. In this course, Strauss guides students through the historical and cultural backgrounds of the book while exploring possible interpretations of Daniel's prophecies.
How does one place absolute trust in God in the midst of uncertainty? The book of Habakkuk details the doubts and questions raised by Habakkuk, a man of God searching for answers. Set during a time of Israelite rebellion, Habakkuk was perplexed by the events that surrounded him. In this course, Longenecker takes students through God's responses as listeners learn about the seriousness of sin and God's sovereignty in history. The book of Habakkuk shows that believers can place ultimate faith in God even when they dont fully understand the circumstances of their lives.
