Podcast appearances and mentions of William Miller

2025晨鐘課－每天，都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活，點亮2025每一天！ 借鑑過去，活在當下，展望未來！ 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 5月17日 以色列的節期 「耶和華的節期，就是你們到了日期要宣告為聖會的，乃是這些。」 利未記 23：4 人們大多喜歡與親朋好友一起歡慶生日和節日。還有人會在完成某項特別的工作專案後大肆慶祝一番。古時，上帝為以色列人設立了許多一年一度的節期，它們大致可以分為兩個主要週期（見利23章）：先是「春季」的節期─逾越節、無酵節和五旬節；之後是「秋季」的節期─吹角節、贖罪日和住棚節。按照律法，有三個節日是全體以色列男丁應該前往耶路撒冷慶祝的─它們是逾越節、五旬節和住棚節。 威廉．米勒耳（William Miller）在1843年5月17日的復臨派期刊《時兆》上發表的一封信，在解釋希伯來節期意義上頗有建樹。他指出，既然春季的節期在基督第一次降臨和祂的受難中得以應驗，那麼秋季的節期也應當在基督復臨時應驗。新約中，基督死在十字架上，祂是「上帝的羔羊」（約1：29），是「我們的逾越節」（林前5：7），這都與上述第一組節期息息相關。祂從死裡復活，成為「睡了之人初熟的果子」（林前15：20）。聖靈降在門徒身上也正是五旬節那天（徒1：8；2：1–4）。 同樣，第二組節期會在基督復臨的末時開始應驗。正如吹角節宣告贖罪日即將到來一樣，偉大的復臨運動也宣告〈但以理書〉第8章14節中的二千三百日將在1844年結束，屆時聖所要被潔淨。那一年標誌著真正贖罪日的開始。最後，住棚節會在千禧年應驗，那時聖徒會居住在天上（啟20章），直等到禧年過後，在新的地球上永久定居（啟21：1–4）。 我們今天正處於贖罪大日中。古時的以色列人在這日要「刻苦己心」（利 16：29；23：27），我們也應當將自己的生命全然奉獻給主，為祂近在咫尺的復臨做好準備。

Kate Ames is the Owner and Operator of Baller Foods. Chef Kate grew up foraging, fishing, and camping in Terrace, British Columbia. From a young age, she was drawn more to the arts than the sciences. In high school, she took “easy” academic classes like English and French correspondence during the summer to free up her schedule for the subjects she loved most—foods, choir, band, art, yearbook, and theatre.Kate began cooking at a young age after moving out and getting married at just 18. Her culinary journey started with a dishwasher job at a fishing lodge and evolved through roles at KFC, Pizza Hut, Denny's, and Mr. Mikes. By the age of 20, she was managing both a Subway and a hotel pub.At 23, Kate moved to Vancouver to study graphic design and marketing at Emily Carr University and BCIT. She went on to freelance for over 15 years with her former business, Ames Design Studio, and held marketing and graphic design positions at the PG Free Press and the Northern Health Authority.When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kate experienced major life upheavals, including the loss of childcare, employment, her design business, and her late partner. With resilience and passion, she pivoted toward her lifelong dream of owning a food truck. Leveraging her background in marketing and design, she launched Baller Food, a business born of both creativity and necessity.Kate began by making meatballs in the kitchen of Birch and Boar, where she found mentorship and support from chef and owner William Miller. Using guerrilla marketing tactics, she sold meatballs on the streets of downtown Prince George and gradually built a following. Over two years, she vended at community events, music festivals, weddings, and schools, eventually expanding into a full-fledged food truck operation.Since then, it's been “balls to the wall.” From May to October, Kate focuses on contract events, travels to northern B.C. music festivals—including Valhalla and Riverboat Days in Terrace, Midsummer in Smithers, ArtsWells near Quesnel, and Robson Valley Music Festival in Dunster—and serves outlying communities such as Quesnel, Vanderhoof, and Mackenzie. She also continues to grow retail sales, with products now available at PG Urban Shroomery and soon at Blackwood Gifts.To improve visibility, Kate has partnered with CO-OP and Superstore and has a regular setup at the Chevron Cardlock in the BCR site. She posts her monthly event schedule and weekly updates on Facebook and Instagram, encouraging followers to set alerts so they never miss where she'll be parked.In the off-season (October to May), Baller Food shifts its focus to hot lunch programs at local schools, event catering, and hot-and-ready meals. This fall, Kate will also launch cooking classes for kids at the South Fort George Family Resource Centre, continuing her mission to nourish and inspire the community through food.

Part 10 In concluding this series on the Seventh-day Adventist Church, examination is given to some of the common heresies shared among the sister cults that emerged from the broader Adventist movement in the mid-nineteenth century, arising from the failed predictions of William Miller, including Jehovah's Witnesses and Christadelphians.  In this teaching, these common doctrinal heresies shall be explored and briefly refuted.   To wrap up this series, consideration shall be given to the different positions within Adventism, namely the traditionalists vs. the progressives.  Which side of the fence does the Adventist Church fall on today, and in the final analysis, is Seventh-day Adventism a cult?

Aunque dicha comprensión de pasajes clave, como Daniel 8:14, no era perfecta, su metodología fue importante pues allanó el camino para el nacimiento de nuestro movimiento remanente de los últimos días. Lee Mateo 5:18; 2 Timoteo 3:15 al 17; y Lucas 24:27. ¿Qué nos enseñan estos versículos acerca de cómo debemos abordar la profecía bíblica? En cierto modo, estudiar la Biblia es como armar un gran rompecabezas. Si unimos solo dos o tres piezas, es casi imposible discernir la imagen completa. Tal vez esas pocas piezas tengan que ver con la imagen de un caballo, lo que podría conducir a la conclusión errónea de que el cuadro tiene que ver con esos animales. Pero, unas cuantas piezas más contienen imágenes de una gallina y una vaca. Tras ensamblar cientos de piezas, se cae finalmente en la cuenta de que se ha estado trabajando en la imagen de un paisaje, que incluye una ciudad, una granja y una cadena de montañas en la distancia. Una de las principales formas erróneas de estudiar la Biblia consiste en acercarse a ella como si se tratara de una colección dispersa de refranes o proverbios que pueden ser utilizados para abordar cualquier situación. Algunos recurren a la sencilla guía de estudio que aparece al principio de las Biblias que ciertos grupos cristianos dejan en las habitaciones de los hoteles y en las que aparecen versículos útiles acerca de una serie de temas. Dan así por sentado que esos versículos representan la totalidad de la enseñanza bíblica acerca de un tema determinado. Desgraciadamente, adoptan el mismo enfoque con la profecía, al separar un texto de su contexto y compararlo con los acontecimientos actuales en lugar de hacerlo con el resto de la Biblia. Esto explica en parte el surgimiento constante de libros sobre profecía que tienen que ser actualizados con frecuencia pues sus predicciones acerca de qué ocurriría y cuándo no se cumplen. Por eso es tan importante no limitarse a seleccionar algunos textos específicos acerca de un tema, sino estudiar cuidadosamente todo lo que la Biblia dice al respecto y tener en cuenta el contexto de cada pasaje. Es muy fácil sacar un pasaje de su contexto y hacerle decir lo que uno desea. ¿Cuál ha sido tu experiencia al tratar con quienes utilizan solo ciertos textos para defender su punto de vista acerca del estado de los muertos o del sábado? ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de responder ante esa forma errónea de usar la Biblia? 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         I TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Miguel PáezDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES 01 DE ABRIL“DANIEL, CIERRA LAS PALABRAS” Lee Daniel 12:4. ¿Qué orden dio el Señor a Daniel? (Comparar con Apoc. 22:10). No es raro oír a predicadores citar Daniel 12:4 como predicción del auge del conocimiento tecnológico y científico justo antes del advenimiento de Cristo. Otros también lo utilizan para describir los avances en los viajes durante el último siglo. Muchos de los libros de nuestra confesión religiosa han adoptado este enfoque. Aunque pueden parecer interpretaciones razonables, el texto en cuestión apunta a otro significado. Lee nuevamente el pasaje. La instrucción del ángel a Daniel comienza con la orden: “cierra las palabras y sella el libro”. El tema al que se refiere el texto es el propio libro de Daniel. ¿Podría, entonces, ese conocimiento que aumentaría repentinamente al final del tiempo referirse a la comprensión del libro de Daniel? Esto distingue el libro de Daniel del Apocalipsis, en el sentido de que Juan recibió la orden de no sellar su libro (Apoc. 22:10). El Apocalipsis debía entenderse desde el principio, porque el tiempo estaba cerca. En cambio, Daniel se entendería más claramente en un futuro lejano. A lo largo de los siglos, muchos estudiosos cristianos intentaron explicar el libro de Daniel, y algunos lograron grandes avances. Sin embargo, la comprensión de Daniel aumentó rápidamente tras el cumplimiento de la profecía de los 1.260 años, en 1798, cuando múltiples expositores de todo el mundo comenzaron a llegar a la conclusión de que algo espectacular sucedería alrededor de 1843. El más notable de ellos, sin embargo, fue William Miller, cuya predicación dio inicio al gran movimiento adventista del siglo XIX e inició una cadena de acontecimientos que darían origen a la iglesia remanente y a una clara comprensión de los mensajes de los tres ángeles. En otras palabras, el nacimiento de nuestro movimiento mundial es un cumplimiento de la predicción de Daniel de que “el conocimiento aumentaría” en “el tiempo del fin”. En contraste, y sin juzgar la salvación de las personas, piensa en la oscuridad en que se encuentra gran parte de la cristiandad en cuanto a su comprensión de la Biblia. Algo tan básico como el séptimo día (sábado) establecido en el Edén es ignorado, incluso descartado, en favor del domingo, un día originado en el paganismo romano. O pensemos en la absoluta ignorancia acerca de lo que la Biblia en verdad enseña acerca de la muerte, ya que la mayoría de los cristianos cree en la idea pagana de que existe un alma que abandona el cuerpo en ocasión de la muerte y que pasa inmediatamente a otra esfera de existencia, lo que para algunos significa también el tormento eterno en un infierno ardiente. En contraste con ello, los adventistas deberíamos estar muy agradecidos, y ser humildes, por el conocimiento que tenemos acerca de la verdad.

2025晨鐘課－每天，都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活，點亮2025每一天！ 借鑑過去，活在當下，展望未來！ 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 3月21日 春季的大失望 所以，你們要警醒，因為不知道你們的主是哪一天來到。」 馬太福音 24：42 數百年來，許多基督徒都盼望著基督會在他們有生之年復臨。一些重大歷史事件的發生使得人們的期望更加迫切。1798年2月，法國士兵囚禁了教皇庇護六世，此一事件也重燃了人們對聖經預言研究的興趣。 威廉．米勒耳（William Miller，1782–1849年）花了兩年的時間（1816年至1818年）深入研究聖經預言，他相信基督會在「西元1843年左右」復臨。他發現〈但以理書〉第8章14節中的二千三百日始於西元前457年，即亞達薛西王頒佈詔令重建耶路撒冷城牆之時（拉7章；但9：25），並且將在西元1843年結束。但到了 1842年底，他的一些朋友敦促他要將預言時期結束的時間計算得更準確。因此，在1843年初，米勒耳專門就此問題寫了一篇文章，發表在《時兆》雜誌上，他表示，「按照猶太人計算時間的方式，基督復臨的時間就落在1843年 3月21日到1844年3月21日之間」。並非所有的米勒耳派復臨信徒都同意米勒耳的觀點，但接受的人還是很多。 米勒耳並沒有為基督的復臨設定「一個特定的日子」，只是算出了「一段時期」。但當這段時期在1844年3月21日正式結束時，許多米勒耳派復臨信徒經歷了所謂「春季的大失望」；他們失去了先前屬靈的熱情和期望。正如〈馬太福音〉第25章中十個童女的比喻，「她們都打盹，睡著了。」（第5節）直到1844年8月中旬，在新罕布夏州埃克塞特舉行的米勒耳派聚會才打破了這種屬靈的倦怠。在會上，撒母耳．斯諾（Samuel S. Snw）提出了他的觀點，即二千三百日將在1844年10月22日結束。斯諾的信息就是我們所熟知的「夜半呼聲」，「新郎來了，你們出來迎接他。」（第6節）事實上，他的觀點為復臨運動注入了前所未有的熱切期望。 米勒耳派復臨信徒未能認清，二千三百日並不是有關基督復臨的預言，而是關於基督在天上事工中的重大轉變（但7：9–14）。《聖經》提醒我們要「警醒」，因為我們不知道主會在哪一天來到（太24：42）。復臨信息的核心並不是主將在「何時」復臨，而是「誰」將要復臨，那正是我們的主耶穌基督！

Women were active participants in the Millerite Movement, a mid-nineteenth century American revival movement. They not only believed Christ was coming soon, they actively disseminated the good news. And if Christ was coming soon, they needed to work together to improve the lives of those around them. This episode explores the lives of little-known Millerite women who were actively involved in the Millerite, temperance, abolition, and suffrage movements and how these activities intersected.

Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckk923vInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event: https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamIN THIS EPISODE: The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the belief that long-lasting condensation trails, also known as “contrails” are in fact "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents purposefully left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public. The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.

Part 2 As one traces the history of the beginnings of Jehovah's Witnesses, two names are indispensable to the formation and development of this cult: Charles Taze Russell and his successor, Joseph Franklin Rutherford.  In the 1830s, a Baptist minister from New York by the name of William Miller began sharing his new-found belief, that Jesus Christ was going to return around the year 1843.  This belief began to gain momentum across denominations, and by 1840 it had become a nationwide campaign. This was the birth of what became known as Adventism and it was from this influence that the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society would emerge. In this teaching, we examine the history of the Watch Tower cult from its beginnings until the present day. We review some of its teachings that have changed during this period and critique its peculiar version of the Bible, the New World Translation.  Download PDF notes: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/2_History_of_Jehovahs_Witnesses.pdf

Heteroresistance is a phenomenon that has been well characterized for many years. However, we are only now starting to understand its mechanistic basis. Indeed, the manner how bacteria respond to antibiotics is complex and phenomena such as persistance, tolerance may be overlapping with heteroresistance. Furthermore, heteroresistance seems to be common in real clinical scenarios and understanding its basis is likely to open new avenues on how we deploy antibacterials in clinical practice., Today, we have experts in the field to discuss this important topic. Watch this episode at https://youtu.be/qcIcyn1bIHU. Topics discussed: The differences between heteroresistance, persistence and tolerance The mechanistic basis both in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria The clinical implication and diagnosis of heteroresistance Guests: David Weiss, Ph.D. Professor of Medicine and Director Center for Antimicrobial Resistance, Emory University School Of Medicine, Atlanta.

(Bicentenario de la Batalla de Junín) «La historia consigna que... Simón Bolívar comenzó a inquietarse... al observar a lo lejos cómo la caballería realista arremetía contra las huestes patriotas la tarde del 6 de agosto de 1824. Imaginando que la victoria le podría ser esquiva, Bolívar dio media vuelta montado sobre su corcel, y enrumbó al encuentro de su infantería para anunciarle de un posible ataque realista. Sin embargo, casi una hora después, la historia cambiaría a favor de los destinos del Perú y América, ante la sorpresa del general caraqueño.» Así resume la «Batalla de Junín: 199 años después» el periodista Gabriel Valdivia, asesorado por el historiador y capitán del Ejército Peruano Jaime M. Taype Castillo, en su artículo publicado en El Peruano, Diario Oficial del Bicentenario, el 5 de agosto de 2023. «Los generales patriotas Phillip Braun, Mariano Necochea y William Miller hicieron frente al ataque enemigo, llevando la peor parte Necochea, que fue herido gravemente y hecho prisionero, mientras que Miller retrocedía combatiendo en desorden —relata el periodista peruano—. El capitán Taype asegura que la contienda fue encarnizada y sangrienta, pues se emplearon sólo lanzas y sables, razón por la que la historia la reconoce como la “batalla sin humo”.... Sin embargo, anota que en medio de la batalla... [fue] sorprendida la caballería virreinal y, sin ninguna fuerza de reserva a la vista, los jinetes [del general español José de] Canterac entraron en confusión y se retiraron atropelladamente.... Así se logró la victoria para los patriotas, luego de 45 minutos de intensa batalla.... »[El historiador Taype] señala que... [el comandante] Karl Sowersby, amigo [del general] Miller, [al tratar] de detener con su escuadrón las embestidas de la caballería realista, fue herido mortalmente por dos lanzas enemigas.... Presintiendo su muerte, el comandante alemán le dijo a su amigo: “Mi querido Miller, ambos tomamos las armas en esta causa casi el mismo día. Frecuentemente nos hemos batido juntos, y usted ve lo que probablemente sucederá. Escriba a mis ancianos y buenos padres, y dígales usted que muero por una causa gloriosa”. [Esas fueron] sus últimas palabras.... »“¡Soldados! Vais a completar la obra más grande que el cielo ha encomendado a los hombres: la de salvar un mundo entero de la esclavitud!” ... fueron las palabras de Bolívar a la caballería peruana, y ésta, junto con el resto de países representados en sus jinetes, se encargaron de materializarla», concluye el doctor Valdivia,1 quien recibió la distinción de Arequipeño Ilustre del Bicentenario.2 Gracias a Dios, así como Bolívar y Sowersby lucharon y murieron por la causa gloriosa de salvar al mundo de la esclavitud física y la llevaron a cabo, Jesucristo su Hijo luchó por la causa gloriosa de salvar al mundo de la esclavitud espiritual y se encargó de materializarla al hacerse hombre, morir por nosotros y romper las cadenas del pecado de todos los que le pidamos que lo haga.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Gabriel Valdivia, «Batalla de Junín: 199 años después, la historia conserva un sitio especial para esta victoria», El Peruano (Diario Oficial del Bicentenario), 5 agosto 2023 En línea 28 febrero 2024. 2 «Docente de la UNSA es reconocido como Arequipeño Ilustre del Bicentenario», Oficina Universitaria de Imagen Institucional de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa, 7 diciembre 2021 En línea 28 febrero 2024. 3 Sal 107:14; Jn 3:16; 8:32,36; Ro 5:8; 10:9-10; Gá 5:1; Fil 2:5-11; Heb 2:14-15; 1Jn 1:9; 2:2

Talk 39 Mark 13:1-23 Jesus prophesies the destruction of the temple Welcome to Talk 39 in our series on Mark's gospel. Today we're looking at chapter 13:1-23 where Jesus prophesies the destruction of the temple. We'll deal with verses 24-37 next time. This is a difficult chapter, not least because of the strong convictions some Christians hold about it, but my intention is not to make dogmatic assertions about how it should be interpreted, but to point out some of the problems of interpreting it and to see what key lessons we can learn from it for ourselves today.   As we shall see, despite the NIV heading, Signs of the End of the Age, much of this chapter is not about the second coming of Christ, but about what Christians should do leading up to the destruction of the temple in AD70. That is not to say that none of the chapter relates to the second coming, but I want to confess at the outset my own personal scepticism about using passages like this to try to predict when the Lord may return. This is based on three things:   Firstly, the Lord himself said in verse 32:   No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.   Secondly, he also said in Acts 1:7, just before he ascended into Heaven:   It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. Jesus told his disciples not to be concerned with such things but to get on with the task of world evangelisation.   And thirdly, my scepticism is based on the fact that so many attempts to calculate the timing of his coming have proved wrong. It's not only the Jehovah's Witnesses who have made predictions which they have been compelled to recalculate, but sincere Christians like William Miller, a Baptist farmer, who, based on his understanding of Daniel's prophecy, was convinced that Jesus would return on a particular day in 1842 and then readjusted his calculations to the same day in 1843. He later admitted that he was wrong but said that, if he had his time all over again, he would still have arrived at the same conclusion!   And even in my own lifetime I have seen Christians making radical changes to their lifestyle,  based on events taking place in and around Israel, as those of you who may remember the Six Day War may remember. But, having expressed my scepticism, let me now make it clear that I certainly do believe in the return of the Lord Jesus! In Acts 1, immediately after Jesus had told the disciples that it was not for them to know the timing of his coming, we read in verses 9-11:   After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."   His return will be personal, physical, and visible. Of this we can be certain. But it's not for us to know when. So, with all this in mind let's now make a start on our passage in Mark 13. We'll begin by considering two difficulties that make this chapter particularly hard to interpret, before looking at the historical context in which it is set.   Interpreting the passage The first problem arises from the two questions the disciples ask Jesus in the opening verses.     1 As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!" 2 "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down." 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?"   So, in verse 1, one of them draws Jesus' attention to the size and beauty of the temple, to which Jesus replies in verse 2:   Do you see all these great buildings? Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."   Then Peter, James, John and Andrew ask him privately,   When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled? (v4).   So, Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple and the disciples ask him when it's going to happen and what sign there will be. Notice that here there is no reference to the second coming of Jesus. However, it's clear from Matthew's account that his disciples clearly connected very closely the destruction of the temple with the return of the Lord, because they ask him they ask him: When will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? (Matthew 24:3).   So, in his reply, Jesus is answering two questions, which in the disciples' minds are closely related, one about the destruction of the temple and the other about the second coming. But when we try to interpret the passage, it's not always clear which parts of Jesus' answer relate to which of these two questions. What does seem clear is that much of Jesus' answer related to the destruction of the temple and not to the second coming. How much, if any, refers to the second coming is a matter of debate. But more of that later.   The second difficulty that arises when we seek to interpret the chapter is deciding which parts are to be taken literally and which are to be taken symbolically. Although much of the passage is, in my view, clearly to be understood literally – for example it's hard to see how let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains (v14) can be interpreted symbolically – some verses must surely be intended to be understood symbolically or metaphorically.   For example, as we shall see next time, the stars will fall from the sky (v25) can hardly be taken literally any more than the moon will be turned into blood in Acts 2:20. Such expressions need to be understood as symbolizing cataclysmic events the like of which have never been seen before. But how can we decide which way to understand any given verse? Literally or symbolically? Part of the answer at least lies in the historical context in which the passage is set.   We began by saying that what Jesus says in this chapter is in answer to questions about the destruction of the temple, which the disciples associated with the return of the Lord. To me much, if not all, of Jesus' answer relates to the destruction of the temple, indeed, of Jerusalem itself. So what do we know from history about this?   The historical context It all began in a single year when in AD 69 four Roman emperors succeeded one another, each time with violence, murder and civil war. In AD 70 Titus, the adopted son of Vespasian, the last of these emperors, entered Jerusalem, burnt the temple, destroyed the city and crucified thousands of Jews. The Jewish historian Josephus tells us how, during the siege of Jerusalem, people were starving and ate their own babies to stay alive, how they fought each other for scraps of dirty food, and how more Jews were killed by other Jews than by the invading Romans. If you want to learn more about this, just google AD70 Siege of Jerusalem.   Examining verses 5-23 Bearing in mind, then, the horrific events that would take place in AD 70, let's now attempt to solve the riddle of which verses refer to the destruction of Jerusalem and which, if any, refer to the second coming. We'll begin with verses 5-23 which, it seems to me, refer mainly  to the years  leading up to and shortly after the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, although some may possibly have a wider significance. I say this because of the immediate context. Jesus has predicted the destruction of the temple and is now replying to the disciples' question in verse 4: When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled? (i.e. the destruction of the temple).   Jesus' answer in verses 5-23 contains warnings about what was shortly to happen and instructions on what they should do which can be summarised as follows: ·      Watch out for deceivers (vv. 5-6, 21-22) ·      Don't be surprised by international turmoil and natural disasters (vv. 7-8) ·      Expect to be persecuted (vv. 9-14) ·      Take appropriate action when the time comes near (vv. 16-23). Watch out for deceivers (vv. 5-6, 21-22) 5 Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many.   21 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect – if that were possible.   Of course, the verses could refer to any time in church history including the period leading up to the Lord's return, but, bearing in mind the context in which they are set, it seems that Jesus' primary intention was to warn his disciples about what would happen in their own lifetime.   Don't be surprised by international turmoil and natural disasters (vv. 7-8) 7 When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.   It's easy to assume, as many have, that these things are to be taken as signs of Jesus' near return, but again the context suggests otherwise. In fact all these things have been happening throughout church history, and are certainly very evident right now, but Jesus does not say the end is near. He says the end is still to come. And as we shall see next time, at the end of the chapter Jesus says you do not know. We won't know when he is coming, and that's precisely why we need to be ready!   Expect to be persecuted (vv. 9-14) 9 "You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. 12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 13 All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 "When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong – let the reader understand – then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.   Again, all these things could be said of almost any period in church history. They were certainly relevant during the lifetime of the disciples and no doubt will be right up until the time of the Lord's return, so there is no need to see them as exclusively relevant to the second coming. But there are two things in this passage I feel I need to make special comment on, as in people's thinking they are usually associated with and seen as signs of the second coming.   The first is in verse 10, where Jesus says, The gospel must first be preached to all nations. The Greek word for first is proton. This can mean either first in time or first in importance, or both. The immediate context in Mark, where Jesus is talking about his disciples being persecuted as they witness for him, suggests to me that he is stressing the importance of preaching the gospel whatever happens.   And, of course, this is applicable throughout the church age and is something Jesus emphasises in Acts 1:6-8. This is so important that the end will not come until the gospel is preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations (Matthew 24:14). So this verse does have a very real application to the second coming, but Jesus is stressing the importance of worldwide evangelisation rather than seeing it as a sign of his coming!   The second is in verse 14 where Jesus says: When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong – let the reader understand – then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.   So what is this abomination that causes desolation? It was first prophesied in Daniel 9:27 and is believed by some to have been fulfilled in 168 BC when Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificed a pig to Zeus on the temple altar. However, since this took place before the coming of Jesus, it cannot be what he was referring to which was yet future.   Bearing in mind the context it's far more likely that Jesus was referring to what happened in AD70 when the Roman general Titus placed an idol on the site of the burnt-out temple just a few years after the destruction of Jerusalem. That, of course, does not rule out the possibility of another fulfilment in the future, but in my view the Bible is by no means clear about this, and it would be unwise to be dogmatic.   Take appropriate action when the time comes near (vv. 15-23). 15 Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now – and never to be equaled again. 20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect – if that were possible. 23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.   At the time of the destruction of Jerusalem the danger was imminent. Jesus' instructions are specifically related to that situation. The basic message is, Get out quick! Don't let anything delay you! You will never have seen anything like it! Things are going to be terrible! Don't let anyone deceive you or distract you! But now it's time for me to summarise my understanding of how these verses apply to us today: 1)     Because these verses apply initially to the period before AD70, they contain some specific instructions (e.g. vv. 15-18) that relate only to that period. 2)     However, since what the disciples were about to experience then were only the beginning of birth pains (v. 8), it follows that similar things would continue to happen throughout the whole church age and that, with the exception of the specific instructions I have just referred to, the broad principles of what Jesus was teaching continue to be relevant to us today. 3)     Because what Jesus is teaching here has been relevant throughout church history, there is no need to see the whole passage as relating directly to the second coming. 4)     The parts that do appear to have a bearing on it must not be interpreted as signs, something which Jesus makes clear in the closing verses of the chapter, as we shall see next time.

William R Miller, PhD, is one of the pioneers of motivational interviewing, a psychological technique that helps individuals overcome apathy and create change in their lives. Dr. Miller's research has become the standard practice in psychology, especially when clinicians are treating patients with addictive behaviors and patients who are recovering from depression that need help reigniting their personal motivation. His latest book, “8 Ways to Hope: Charting a Path through Uncertain Times,” which releases August 2024, takes lessons from Dr. Miller's research and applies them to the bridge between psychology and hope.   This episode of Menninger Clinic's Mind Dive podcast features Dr. Miller, accomplished psychologist and author, joining us for a conversation about hope and his findings on the psychological effects of optimism versus pessimism. Dr. Miller also shares a sneak peek into his latest work which explores the varying types of hope and how to foster self-efficacy during difficult times.   Dr. Miller was a clinical psychologist at the University of New Mexico for 30 years where he retired as emeritus distinguished professor psychology and psychiatry. Dr. Miller has continued to publish in his retirement and has seven books in his bibliography, including this latest one. All of Dr. Miller's titles can be found on his website.“Hope is something that we can do when we're uncertain,” says Dr. Clark. “It's the opposite of fear... fear is imagining a dreadful future and hope is imagining a better future.  You can actually experience these emotions simultaneously and that's when hope becomes a choice.”  Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Un día, mientras estaba desmenuzando una piedra, llegó el rey montado en un hermoso caballo. «¡Qué maravilloso sería si yo pudiera ser el rey!», pensó Hashmu. Y estando aún las palabras en su mente, una voz dijo: «¡Sea Hashmu el rey!». Inmediatamente se convirtió en rey. Después decidió ser el sol, y se convirtió en el sol, pero cuando las nubes le impidieron brillar sobre la tierra, pidió ser una nube. Se convirtió en una nube y regó los campos con lluvia. El agua arrastró todo con excepción de una gran roca que estaba en el río. Por lo tanto, Hashmu pensó que era preferible convertirse en una roca, pero cuando un hombre comenzó a cincelarlo con sus herramientas, decidió que quería ser hombre. Y una voz dijo: «¡Hashmu, sé tú mismo!». De modo que Hashmu volvió a tomar sus instrumentos de trabajo y reanudó contento sus tareas. «¡Sé tú mismo!», esto es lo que Dios espera de ti, y es el camino a la felicidad. Dios nos ha hecho a todos diferentes porque quiere que cada uno ocupe determinado lugar y realice una obra específica en la vida. Cuando tratamos de imitar a otros o deseamos sus responsabilidades, quedamos descontentos y no cumplimos con nuestra parte especial en el plan de Dios. David era pastor de ovejas, Amós era boyero, Nehemías era copero, Pedro era pescador, Nicodemo era maestro de la Ley; Martí Lutero era teólogo, William Carey era zapatero, William Miller fue granjero y Elena G. de White fue profetisa. Cada uno de ellos llevó a cabo una misión especial de parte de Dios. Jesús te ha dotado de dones y talentos y de una personalidad distinta a la de cualquier otra persona en el universo. Eres muy especial, pues eres una creación singular de Dios. Da siempre lo mejor de ti y glorifica su hombre siendo la mejor versión de ti mismo.

Los errores que desde hacía largo tiempo se habían establecido en la iglesia les impidieron arribar a una correcta interpretación de un punto importante de la profecía. Por tanto, si bien proclamaron el mensaje que Dios les había confiado para que lo diesen al mundo, sufrieron un desengaño debido a una interpretación equivocada de su significado” (Elena de White, El conflicto de los siglos, p. 400). “Sin embargo, Dios cumplió su propósito benéfico al permitir que la advertencia del Juicio fuese proclamada precisamente como lo fue. El gran día era inminente, y en la providencia de Dios el pueblo fue probado tocante a un tiempo definido, con el fin de revelarles lo que había en sus corazones. El mensaje tenía por objetivo probar y purificar a la iglesia. Los hombres debían ser inducidos a ver si sus afectos estaban puestos en las cosas de este mundo o en Cristo y el Cielo. Ellos profesaban amar al Salvador; ahora debían probar su amor. ¿Estarían dispuestos a renunciar a sus esperanzas y ambiciones mundanales, y dar la bienvenida con gozo al advenimiento de su Señor? El mensaje tenía por objetivo capacitarlos para discernir su verdadero estado espiritual; fue enviado misericordiosamente para despertarlos con el fin de que buscasen al Señor con arrepentimiento y humillación” (ibíd., pp. 401, 402). PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR: 1. ¿Qué lecciones podemos aprender de la experiencia de William Miller? Dios ¿rechaza a veces nuestra interpretación incorrecta? 2. ¿Por qué es tan importante entender Daniel 9:24 al 27 para establecer la integridad de la Biblia y la divinidad de Cristo? 3. ¿Qué papel desempeña la interpretación de las profecías en el plan de salvación? ¿Por qué son tan importantes las profecías en el plan de Dios?

Estudió diligentemente las Escrituras para comprender un acontecimiento de tan abrumadora importancia. Descubrió la conexión entre Daniel 8 y 9. En Daniel 8, el ángel recibió instrucciones de “enseña[r] la visión a este hombre” (Dan. 8:16). Al final del capítulo, la única parte de toda la visión de Daniel 8 que quedaba sin explicar (ver Dan. 8:27) era la de los 2.300 días. Más adelante, el ángel regresó y le dijo a Daniel: “Ahora he venido para darte sabiduría y entendimiento” (Dan. 9:22; ver también Dan. 9:23, 25-27). Esto era para ayudarlo a entender los 2.300 días. Sabemos esto porque, después de pedir a Daniel: “entiende, pues, la palabra, y entiende la visión” (Dan. 9:23), las primeras palabras del ángel fueron: “Setenta semanas están determinadas sobre tu pueblo y tu santa ciudad” (Dan. 9:24). La palabra traducida “determinadas” significa literalmente “cortadas”. Setenta semanas, 490 años, han de ser cortadas. Pero ¿a partir de qué? De la visión de los 2.300 días, obviamente: la única parte de Daniel 8 que Daniel no entendió, y que el ángel vino ahora a explicarle. Y, puesto que el punto de partida de las 70 semanas era “desde que salga la orden de restaurar y reedificar Jerusalén” (Dan. 9:25), Miller sabía que, si tenía esa fecha, podría conocer el comienzo de las 70 semanas y de la profecía de los 2.300 días.

Mientras Miller estudiaba las Escrituras, descubrió a un Cristo que lo amaba más de lo que podía imaginar. Con su Biblia, una pluma y un cuaderno, comenzó leyendo el Génesis y solo avanzaba en su lectura en la medida que podía entender el pasaje en cuestión. Al comparar un pasaje con otro, permitió que la Biblia se explicara a sí misma. Lee Isaías 28:9 y 10; Proverbios 8:8 y 9; Juan 16:13; y 2 Pedro 1:19 al 21. ¿Qué principios de interpretación bíblica descubres en estos pasajes? A medida que William Miller comparaba versículo con versículo, se le abrían los misterios de la Biblia. Buscaba como quien busca un tesoro escondido, y fue ricamente recompensado. El Espíritu Santo le abrió la Palabra de Dios a fin de que la entendiera. Abordó las profecías con la misma diligencia en el estudio de la Biblia que con los demás pasajes bíblicos que estudiaba. Lee Daniel 1:17; 2:45; 1 Pedro 1:10 y 11; y Apocalipsis 1:1 al 3. ¿Qué nos enseñan estos pasajes acerca de la interpretación de las profecías bíblicas? Los símbolos de los libros proféticos no están rodeados de misterio. Un Dios amoroso nos ha dado su Palabra profética con el fin de prepararnos para los acontecimientos culminantes que pronto tendrán lugar en este mundo. William Miller comprendió claramente que la mejor manera de entender las profecías era permitir que estas se interpretaran a sí mismas. La misma Biblia explica claramente los símbolos proféticos. Las bestias representan reyes o reinos (Dan. 7:17, 23). El viento representa destrucción (Jer. 49:36). El agua representa pueblos o naciones (Apoc. 17:15). La mujer representa a la iglesia (Jer. 6:2; Efe. 5:22-32). Las profecías temporales de Daniel y Apocalipsis también se dan en lenguaje simbólico, en el que un día profético representa un año literal (Núm. 14:34; Eze. 4:6). Cuando William Miller aplicó estos principios de interpretación bíblica, quedó sorprendido con su descubrimiento respecto de lo que él creía que era el momento del regreso de Cristo. ¿Por qué es tan importante para nuestra fe entender correctamente el simbolismo profético?

Episode 73 calls for a celebration of the 1973 Almost Famous Tour with Stillwater. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) pay homage to Cameron Crowe's cinematic classic featuring their doppelgängers Russell Hammond and Jeff Bebe and a true masterpiece. How does Almost Famous help us talk about Lane Kiffin being the hunted, middling college football programs, Deion Sanders and Brian Kelly on the recruiting trail, and the early college football hot seat watch (with replacements!)? Guess you'll have to come along for the tour like William Miller and then catch us again in 1974... or at least Episode 74 next week.

Lo hemos esperado, y él nos salvará. Este es el Señor a quien hemos esperado, nos gozaremos y nos alegraremos en su salvación' ” (Isa. 25:9). La segunda venida de Jesús es uno de los temas centrales de las Escrituras. Es un hilo de oro que recorre las páginas sagradas de la Biblia. Un erudito ha calculado que hay 1.845 referencias a la segunda venida de Cristo en el Antiguo Testamento. En los 260 capítulos del Nuevo Testamento, hay más de 300 referencias al regreso de Cristo. Uno de cada 25 versículos lo menciona. Después de que la Reforma naufragara en Europa y se viera obstaculizada por divisiones y luchas, el protestantismo echó raíces en el Nuevo Mundo. En Estados Unidos muchos recogieron el manto de la verdad, incluyendo la verdad sobre la Segunda Venida. Entre ellos se encontraba un agricultor bautista llamado William Miller. Como resultado de su estudio de la Biblia, creyó que Jesús vendría pronto, durante el curso de su vida, y comenzó a predicar ese mensaje. Con ello inició un movimiento que, aunque enfrentó una gran desilusión, abrió ante muchos verdades bíblicas que todavía hoy son relevantes. En la lección de esta semana examinaremos por qué la segunda venida de Cristo ha llenado de alegría el corazón de los creyentes a lo largo de los siglos y cómo podemos estar preparados para ese gran acontecimiento. La lección de esta semana se basa en El conflicto de los siglos, capítulos 18 al 21.

— Carl Rogers, psychologist wrote in 1959 his view on human nature, that when people are placed in meaningful therapeutic conditions, they will naturally change in a positive direction. Carl Rogers and William Miller (psychologist) have separately shared that this tendency toward reaching your true inner self “it is as natural as a plant's growth upward toward the light when given adequate soil, water, and sunshine. It is as if each person has a natural mature end-state or purpose (Telos, in Greek) toward which he or she will grow given optimal conditions.” They say that the Telos of an acorn is to become an oak tree; to reach its true purpose. Each action we take as humans is directed towards some Telos (i.e. purpose) and real change involves identifying concrete steps needed to attain Telos. Telos has many terms that describes it in philosophy; goal, completion, or fulfillment; this translates into all walks of life.

About the King's Business Daniel 8:1-27 by William Klock The books of 1 and 2 Maccabees in the Apocrypha detail the persecution of the Jews in the mid-160s BC, during the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes.  2 Maccabees 6, for example, tells how “the king sent an Athenian senator to compel the Jews to forsake the laws of their ancestors and no longer to live by the laws of God; also to pollute the temple in Jerusalem and to call it the temple of Olympian Zeus” (6:1-2).  The gentiles used the temple of God for their orgies and drunken banquets.  Antiochus desecrated the alter with the sacrifice of a pig.  On holidays the king's men would round up Jews and force them to participate in his parades and sacrifices.  Those who refused to participate or who were caught living by torah were killed.  Two women, for example, were caught having circumcised their baby boys.  Their babies were tied around their necks as the women were paraded through the streets to the wall of the city and then thrown down it to their deaths.  Faithful Jews who were caught secretly observing the sabbath in a nearby network of caves were burned alive.  2 Maccabees 7 tells the story of seven brothers and their mother, who were threatened with torture to eat pork.  Despite being beaten, they refused. The king fell into a rage, and gave orders to have pans and caldrons heated. These were heated immediately, and he commanded that the tongue of their spokesman be cut out and that they scalp him and cut off his hands and feet, while the rest of the brothers and the mother looked on. When he was utterly helpless, the king ordered them to take him to the fire, still breathing, and to fry him in a pan. The smoke from the pan spread widely, but the brothers and their mother encouraged one another to die nobly, saying, “The Lord God is watching over us and in truth has compassion on us, as Moses declared in his song that bore witness against the people to their faces, when he said, ‘And he will have compassion on his servants.'” (2 Maccabees 7:3-6) The king went on to do the same to the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers who all refused.  We read that: The mother was especially admirable and worthy of honorable memory. Although she saw her seven sons perish within a single day, she bore it with good courage because of her hope in the Lord. She encouraged each of them in the language of their ancestors. Filled with a noble spirit, she reinforced her woman's reasoning with a man's courage, and said to them, “I do not know how you came into being in my womb. It was not I who gave you life and breath, nor I who set in order the elements within each of you. Therefore the Creator of the world, who shaped the beginning of humankind and devised the origin of all things, will in his mercy give life and breath back to you again, since you now forget yourselves for the sake of his laws.” (2 Maccabees s7:20-23) She stood firm—and so did her sons—because they hoped in the Lord.  They knew that he is the Lord of history.  They knew his goodness.  They knew his faithfulness.  They knew their story and how it was interwoven with the story of the faithfulness of the God of Israel, and so even as they were brutally murdered by a mad king, they trusted in him.  Daniel was written for these people.  The stories in the first half of the book show Daniel and his friends standing firm for the Lord during the Babylonian exile, but the dreams and visions in the second are situated right in the middle of those days of violent persecution four centuries later.  That's what we see now as we come to Chapter 8 and to Daniel's second vision.  Let's start with verse 1 and read through to the end. In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. And I saw in the vision; and when I saw, I was in Susa the citadel, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was at the Ulai canal. I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing on the bank of the canal. It had two horns, and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.   As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.   Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven. And some of the host and some of the stars it threw down to the ground and trampled on them. It became great, even as great as the Prince of the host. And the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown. And a host will be given over to it together with the regular burnt offering because of transgression, and it will throw truth to the ground, and it will act and prosper. Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, “For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?” And he said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”   When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and it called, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened and fell on my face. But he said to me, “Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”   And when he had spoken to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But he touched me and made me stand up. He said, “Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end. As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia. And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king. As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power. And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great—but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great. Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand. The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been told is true, but seal up the vision, for it refers to many days from now.”   And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days. Then I rose and went about the king's business, but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.   Another vision during the reign of the blasphemous king Belshazzar.  In his ways, he foreshadows the evils of Antiochus Epiphanes.  But as the first vision revealed, the days of Babylon were soon to be over, so this vision whisks Daniel hundreds of kilometres to the east, to Susa, which would become the capital of the Persian empire.  And there he sees another animal, this time a ram.  This is another clue as to when the book was written.  The ram as a sign of the zodiac was associated with Persia—not in Daniel's day, but in the time of the Greeks. The symbolism of Daniel 7 was difficult and there's a fair bit of disagreement about what it all means, but not so much with Daniel 8.  This vision is simpler and the explanation pretty straightforward.  Most everyone agrees on the major points.  So it begins with a ram representing the combined empire of the Medes and the Persians—those are the two horns, one bigger than the other.  Horns, in ancient imagery, represent strength.  The Medes were strong, but the Persians eventually become stronger and gobbled them up and so Daniel sees the ram, lowering its head, and charging from the east into the north and into the south and into the west—which is exactly what the Persian empire did, until it controlled the known world, even as far as Greece.  Daniel writes that the ram did as it pleased and became strong.  It's the way of human empires. But as the ram reaches the peak of its power, Daniel sees a goat appear in the west.  It helps to know that in the biblical mind, the goat was stronger and more powerful than the ram.  This goat had a single horn and it made its way across the land so fast it might have been flying for all it seemed to touch the earth.  It put its head down and charged the mighty ram and shattered both its powerful horns.  In case the symbolism wasn't already obvious, the angel explains that the goat is Greece.  The jutting horn is Alexander the Great. Alexander was the son of Philip II, King of Macedon.  He was tutored by Aristotle and assumed the throne when his father died in 336 BC.  He was only twenty years old.  By the age of thirty he had conquered the known world, from Greece in the west to India in the East, from Central Asia in the north to Egypt in the south.  And then, in 323 BC, still a young man, Alexander died of a fever in Babylon.  For twenty years his generals fought over his empire, eventually carving it up into four kingdoms, which Daniel sees as four horns.  The two relevant ones for the Jews were that of Seleucus who controlled Syria and the east, and Ptolemy, who controlled Egypt and Palestine. But this is all the background to the most important part of the vision.  Out of those Greek successor kingdoms arises another horn.  He isn't named, but as the details of the first horn obviously point to Alexander, the details of this new horn point very obviously to Antiochus IV Epiphanes.  In the great sweep of history, Antiochus was hardly the greatest of the Greek kings, but when he defeated the Egyptian Ptolemies and took control of Judah he became very important to the Jews.  The Ptolemies had treated the Jews well and allowed them to govern themselves as a sort of religous state as long as the high priest coughed up the annual taxes.  Antiochus, however, wanted to make good Greeks of the Jews and to get his hands on the temple treasury.  Under his rule the priesthood was bought and sold and eventually observance of torah was outlawed and torah scrolls burned.  God's worship in the temple was ended and it was turned into a temple to Olympian Zeus.  And Antiochus murdered faithful Jews by the tens of thousands. In Daniel's vision, Antiochus takes the form of this great horn that rises up against heaven itself.  These verses, especially 12-13, are difficult.  Just when I was glad to leave the Aramaic of chapters 2-7 behind, here come these verses that I can only describe as a Hebrew word salad.  The Hebrew of Daniel is something else that points to it having been written in the Second Century, because it's not written in the great literary Hebrew of Daniel's day, but in a sort of clunky Hebrew that looks a lot like it was written by someone who probably spoke Aramaic as a first language.  But that's okay.  The gist of Daniel's vision is that Antiochus, in going up against the temple and the priesthood, was really shaking his fist at the God of Israel.  This little earthly king who called himself “Epiphanies”—the manifestation of God—was pitting himself against the living God, the Lord of history, the one the Babylonian kings had had the good sense to acknowledge as God Most High.  That never ends well. And yet, for a time, the mad king seems to have won.  Israel's identity was centred on the temple.  That was the place where heaven and earth, where God and man met.  They were the holy people who lived with God in their midst.  And not only did Antiochus do his best to make sure they broke their end of the covenant with God by preventing them from keeping his law, but he suspended the very sacrifices that acknowledged God's presence in the temple.  He wanted the Jews to live like good Greeks and when they insisted on living like Jews, he banished their God from his temple and set up an altar to Zeus.  Judah was now his land.  Their God was gone, so they had no reason to obey his law.  Of course, the Jews knew better.  Like that mother and her seven sons in 2 Maccabees, they knew the faithfulness of the God of the Israel and they knew that no puny human king could blaspheme against him forever.  But, for a time, he would seem to have won the day.  According to Daniel's vision, for 2300 evenings and mornings the temple would be desolate.  That's a reference to the morning and evening sacrifices that were—or were supposed to be—made every day.  The sacrifices that Antiochus suspended.  Depending on how you parse this detail out, it's either about three years and three months or it's about six years and six months.  Most people tend to go with the three years, which corresponds closely to the time when Antiochus had suspended the worship of the Lord in the temple.  But the six-and-a-half years works too, if you count back to when the high priest was deposed.  Either way, we know what the vision represents.  And either way and for whatever reason, it's not an exact number, which means it may also be symbolic—we just can't be sure exactly how.  However we parse out the number, the important point is that the Lord has numbered these evil days. And that's the point I want to close on.  Too often we get fixated on numbers and on fixing dates and end up missing the point.  We do it with books like Daniel.  We do it with books like Revelation.  We do it with the prophets and with the apocalyptic discourses of Jesus.  It's nothing new.  Christians have been setting dates for over a thousand years and whenever we do, we seem to end up distracted from the gospel mission we've been given.  Often it ends with the creation of schismatic sects and cults.  William Miller, for example, worked out from these 2300 evening and mornings that Jesus would return in 1843.  His argument convinced a lot of people (and it helped that he threw in plenty of “God has told mes”).  Of course, it didn't happen so he adjusted his formula, admitted a small error, and corrected the date to 1844.  That didn't happen either.  But his followers had given up everything and then many of them walked away and became jaded.  They called it the “Great Disappointment”.  But, still, to this day Miller has his ardent followers.  They're the Seventh Day Adventists and believe that it really did happen in 1843, and that it wasn't about Jesus returning to the earth, but that Jesus on that date entered the heavenly temple to begin is work of judging souls in anticipation of his return. And many of us remember Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth that became a sensation in the 1970s.  Lindsey made a point of not setting an exact date, but he wasn't shy about saying things like the 1980's would probably be the earth's last decade.  It motivated some people to become missionaries, but it motivated lots of other people to abandon their jobs, their families, and to run up massive credit card debt because they were convinced that in a year or two none of it would matter.  In more recent years we've had similar predictions made about “blood moons” and the like.  Christian bookstores were filled books about the imminent return of Jesus and end of the world.  People were, once again, all worked up about the end of the world and, once again, nothing happened. Again, we too often forget the point of passages like this one in Daniel 8.  Even if we could estimate or even set a date by it, the point is that God is in control and, because of that, we have every reason to stand firm in the midst of trials and persecution, knowing that God will vindicate us in the same way that he has vindicated his people in the past and, especially for us as Christians, in the same way that he vindicated his son when he raised him from death.  Daniel 8—and so many other passages—remind us first and foremost that God is sovereign.  No matter how it seems, history is not random.  No matter how much they may shake their fists at the heavens, no king is outside the sovereign will of God.  No matter how much we may abuse our God-given liberty, every one of us will be held to account.  Sin and evil will not go on forever.  God is judge, one day he will deal with sin and death once and for all, and eventually all of creation will be to rights—including us.  And we know that this will happen, we believe, we have hope, because of the death and resurrection of Jesus.  At the cross God did the hard part needed to set the world to rights.  At the cross Jesus won the decisive battle and one day the war will be over when we, the church, his people, have accomplished the work he has given.  He has equipped us with his own Spirit and sends us out to proclaim the life giving and renewing good news of his death and resurrection.  And for two thousand years, that good news has driven away the false gods of the pagans and brought kings and their people to their knees before Jesus and to give glory to the God of Israel.  Brothers and Sisters, date-setting, goofy predictions, and eschatological paranoia do nothing to witness the sovereignty of the Lord of history.  They do just the opposite and they undermine our witness.  They make Christians look foolish and the scriptures untrustworthy.  Our mission is to proclaim the gospel, because in Jesus and in his death and resurrection, that is where the world meets the living God and knows his faithfulness. And that brings me to the final point.  Look again at verse 27 and Daniel's response.  The vision left him troubled.  He even lay sick in his bed for “some days”.  He was in some sense dismayed because he didn't fully understand it.  But what did he do?  He says that he arose and went about the king's business.  Brothers and Sisters, the prophecies and apocalypses that the Spirit has given us in the scripture were never meant to send us out in a panic or a frenzy, they weren't given to have us abandon our earthly responsibilities because the world is coming to an end.  They were given to us to remind us that God is sovereign, that he will judge the wicked, and that he will vindicate his people for their faithfulness.  So be faithful.  The Lord had placed Daniel in a position of authority in the court of the king of Babylon.  That pagan court was soon to fall.  That pagan king was soon to die.  But the Lord had put Daniel in that position for a reason and so he went faithfully back to his work.  The same goes for each of us.  The Lord has put us where we are for a reason.  Be a faithful husband and father or a faithful wife and mother knowing that the Lord is sovereign.  Be faithful in your vocation, whatever it may be, however mundane it may seem.  Be faithful to your earthly obligations: to your family, to your business, to your school, to your church, to your club, to your friends, to your debts, to your country knowing that the Lord has placed you where you are.  That is, after all, the King's business.  This witness to our trust in the sovereignty of God is the foundation that undergirds our greater witness to Jesus and the gospel.  It is what prepares us to stand firm should the day come when we find ourselves forced to choose between obedience to an earthly king and obedience to our heavenly King.  May we stand firm like the saints of old and declare with the mother of those seven martyred sons, “The Lord God is watching over us and in truth has compassion on us.” Let's pray: Almighty God, look with mercy on your people; that by your great goodness we may be always governed and preserved both in body and soul, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too! https://weirddarkness.com/contrary-chemtrails/IN THIS EPISODE: The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the belief that long-lasting condensation trails, also known as “contrails” are in fact "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents purposefully left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public. The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.

SUITCASE MYSTERY? In the Rebekah Gould murder case, William Miller led investigators to her missing suitcase in the woods. Nothing about what they found makes any sense. We discuss this week on Diamond State: Murder Board.

Motivational interviewing serves as a versatile enhancement to various professional practices, whether it's behavioral therapy, medication counseling, classroom teaching, or sports coaching. In the words of Dr. William Miller, “It's a way of being with people to help people make changes.” This method emphasizes a collaborative and empathetic interaction style, focusing on empowering individuals to drive their own change, making it a valuable asset in any change or growth-oriented setting.

How can I study Revelation in a way that makes sense to me? A warning, a contextual outline, and the promise of Jesus' salvation are all included in Dr. Frederick's framework for studying Revelation.Show Notes (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese): https://followhim.co/new-testament-episodes-41-52/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/follow-him-a-come-follow-me-podcast/id1545433056YouTube: https://youtu.be/P_7HyqtobZ0Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/followhimpodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/15G9TTz8yLp0dQyEcBQ8BYPlease rate and review the podcast!00:00 Part 1–Dr. Nicholas Frederick 01:36 Teaser by Dr. Frederick to Revelation03:37 Biography of Dr. Frederick06:26 William Miller and dangers of the Book of Revelation10:52 Revelation in The Book of Mormon13:46 Author and audience16:28 Genre18:58 Prophecy20:10 Apocalyptic literature23:55 Dangers in finding just one application27:24 The Old Testament as a lens for Revelation28:59 Revelation 1:130:55 John's witness and testimony of Jesus31:49 Pattern of sevens35:09 Jesus's power to save37:18 Thesis statement of Revelation40:28 Rome has sent John to Patmos44:28 John is going to write and send to seven churches46:13 Son of Man50:32 Outline and interpretation of Revelation52:55 Ephesus56:50 Smyrna59:22 Pergamum1:03:37 His name in your forehead1:05:50 Thyratia1:09: 50 End of Part 1–Dr. Nicholas FrederickThanks to the followHIM team:Shannon Sorensen: Cofounder, Executive Producer, SponsorDavid & Verla Sorensen: SponsorsDr. Hank Smith: Co-hostJohn Bytheway: Co-hostDavid Perry: ProducerKyle Nelson: Marketing, SponsorLisa Spice: Client Relations, Editor, Show NotesJamie Neilson: Social Media, Graphic DesignAnnabelle Sorensen: Creative Project ManagerWill Stoughton: Video EditorKrystal Roberts: Translation Team, English & French Transcripts, WebsiteAriel Cuadra: Spanish Transcripts"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com
