    Daniel 8:1-9 The Ram & The Goat (Alexander & Antiochus)

    Learn how Daniel predicted the rise of both Alexander the Great and Antiochus Epiphanes. Upon editing the attached .mp3, I noticed four errors I made in this presentation: 1) Elam was an ancient country two to three thousand years ago. I meant to say 2000-3000 BC, not two or three thousand years before our current time. Elam's actual dates are c. 2700-539. It was absorbed into Persia by Cyrus the Great the same year he conquered Babylon. 2) I said Cassius Dio was a source for our period No, he was late second century AD, not BC. 3) Steve asked me if the "Festival of Lights" was the same as Hanukkah. I thought he said the "Festival of Lots," which is the Jewish festival of Purim. So, "Festival of LIghts" is Hannakkah, "Festival of Lots" is Purim. 4) I said Polybius was a Roman historian. Actually he was Greek, who spent some time in Rome. His dates are c.200-118 BC, which means he is a great authority for the little horn Antiochus IV Epiphanes (r. 175-164).

    Nov 27 2025
    Have you ever felt like God is distant, your prayers are unheard, or your struggles are hidden from Him? In our weariness, we are tempted to believe God has forgotten us. But what if the answer to our deepest discouragement isn't a change in our circumstances, but a clearer vision of God Himself? This message challenges us to lift our eyes from our problems to behold the immeasurable, incomparable God who sees us, knows us, and gives strength to the weary.

    How is an "overseer" (1Ti 3:1) different from an elder or pastor? In Scripture, the terms overseer (KJV "bishop"), elder, and arguably also pastor, are used interchangeably. Hierarchy: There was no hierarchy of authority within the local church leadership team. No bishop was over the pastors, no senior pastor, no lead pastor, no pastor over the elders, no difference between pastor and elder. Paid vs Volunteer: In modern times, a "pastor" is a vocational leader, whereas elders are volunteer. This is not a biblical distinction. The tile "elder" brings out the fact that church leaders should embody maturity and wisdom ("elder" and "older" are from the same Germanic root). It is a state of being. The word "pastor" translates the Greek word for shepherd and brings out the leader's role in leading, feeding and protecting God's flock. The word "overseer" (3:1) highlights out the leader's job of managing, administrating, being sure things in the church are doing according to God's will. Plurality: The New Testament generally presents an ideal of a plurality of leaders in every congregation.
