In concluding his interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's God-given dream prophecy, Daniel spoke of the Stone cut out without human hands that came from the sky and smashed the colossal image on its feet and toes.  The entire statue, representing the whole godless world system, came crashing down, broken into pieces that became like chaff which the wind carried away.  The Stone then became a great...

nKing Nebuchadnezzar learned from Daniel that his God-sent dream of a huge image represented successive kingdoms, beginning with him (Babylon, the head of gold).  The various body parts and metallic substances perfectly symbolized each of the four Gentile kingdoms directly involved with Israel in the period of time known as "The Times of the Gentiles".  From Daniel's time in the Sixth Century B.C....

This is the beginning of Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's God-given prophetic dream.  The colossal image of the dream corporately represents the whole, anti-God world system; the various parts of the image represent four successive now-past Gentile Kingdoms - which were yet-future (except for the head of gold, representing Babylon) at the time of Daniel.  The four Gentile kingdoms...

Daniel reveals the content of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, which presents the blueprint for all Biblical eschatology!  Concisely stated, the dream is about "A Statue and A Stone"!  In this lesson, we look at the statue's description, the statue's devolution, the statue's destruction, and the Stone's dominion! Learn how the giant colossus of Nebuchadnezzar's God-sent dream disavows (refutes) the ev...

In this lesson on the Prophet Daniel and his providential intervention the night King Nebuchadnezzar had a (God-given) disturbing dream, which nobody could interpret (because he did not tell them what it was), we learn incredibly important lessons on being "Christlike in a Crisis".  It truly was a crisis; Nebuchadnezzar threatened to cut into pieces all his "wisemen" and turn their homes into dung...

The questions answered in Daniel chapter 2 (which we discuss from this lesson through lesson 13) are questions mankind in general asks:  What does the future of the world look like?  Will there ever be a day of peace, harmony, and prosperity among the nations?  Will lawlessness, immorality, violence, wars, envies, and injustices always dominate the world scene?  Will there ever be a day when right...

Lesson from Daniel 1:8-21, in which we discuss Daniel's daring proposal to have the king's "meat and wine" replaced (for him and his three friends) with "pulse and water" for ten days.  Daniel was so determined not to disobey God's dietary laws, he risked offending the king himself with his request.  He was confident the Lord would bless their obedience by making them healthier in appearance than...

If there is one thing this world (caught up in pandemic panic and fear of death and/or financial ruin) desperately needs, it is men, women, and young people like Daniel, the servant of the Most High God!  For centuries, Daniel has stood as an extraordinary example of solid faith, uncompromising spirit, steadfast conviction (based on God's Holy Word), boldness for his God, yet with kindness and com...

There are consequences to disobeying God's commandments, which is what Israel encountered in the Babylonian Captivity for having turned to the worship of idols, embracing "the queen of heaven cult," and disobeying the Law of the Sabbatic year.  The captivity was used to purge His people, and Babylon certainly had a way of sifting "the tares" from "the wheat" and causing the godly "wheat" to grow s...

The Book of Daniel begins in the year 605 B.C. with the First Exile of Jews from Judah to Babylon, ruled by King Nebuchadnezzar.  Included in the first group of captives snatched from their families, homeland, and culture was the young teen, Daniel.   In this lesson, we discuss Daniel's Personal History.  We also again address an issue the critics of the Book of Daniel make regarding a seeming con...

We continue (from Lesson 2) to look at the setting for the Book of Daniel, and, to do so, we present a jet tour of history back to the very beginning!  This is a very, very, very informative lesson! In this lesson, we discuss the free-will test of the angelic host in the FALL OF LUCIFER; we discuss WHY THE FALLEN ANGELS ARE NOT REDEEMALBE, HOW GOD PROTECTED THE HUMAN RACE FRom LIKEWISE BEING NON-R...

If something is meaningful to the heart of God, you can be guaranteed Satan will attack it.  Thus, he attacks both the truthfulness of Scripture and the Deity of Christ!  Satan has launched an incredible attack specifically against the Book of Daniel because it so strongly upholds the truthfulness of God's Word!  How is that?  It is because no other book of the Bible contains as many already fulfi...

This is the first lesson on what is easily one of the most fascinating and intriguing books of Scripture.  Daniel is one very appropriate book for the extraordinary times in which we live.  At a time in history when humanism dominates the decision processes of both government and its citizenry, and when hostility toward Christians and Israel is increasingly overt, the Book of Daniel reminds us the...

NEW STUDY - The "grand finale" of the Lord's seven cross-sayings is full of electrifying power and will give you spiritual heartburn for sure!  We not only discuss the Lord's great, "It is finished" declaration and all that was included in His declaration, but we point out the four times when God declared - or yet will declare - the completion of His various works (i.e., His creative work, His red...

  Was the 3-hour crucifixion-darkness merely a sun eclipse? No; that would be impossible (find out why).  Was it just over "Skull Hill" or over Jerusalem or perhaps the entire nation of Israel - or did it extend even further?  Are there extra-biblical, historical records to confirm that eerie darkness? Yes - and from some surprising sources!  What was God saying by way of that darkness? Listen and...

In this second part of our look at the Lord's Seven Cross-sayings (and the miracles that accompanied His atonement work on "Skull Hill"), we discuss His second and third sayings - plus the first miracle! There is something significantly special about a dying person’s final words, but this is particularly important when it comes to the final pre-resurrection words of Jesus Christ.  They give us ins...

In this message, the stage is set for a wonderful four-part, in depth study entitled, "The Seven Sayings and Seven Miracles in Six Hours".   The title, of course, is about Christ's seven utterances during the six hours of His crucifixion, as well as the seven miracles that accompanied His redemptive work and helped (again) prove His Deity (2 were "Conversion Calvary Miracles" and 5 were "Creative...

In-depth commentary/study books to ACCOMPANY EVERY STUDY on our podcast are available through Amazon.comu and scripturetruth.com  Search under Katherine Caldwell Commentaries) From the well-known account of the circumstances surrounding the conception and birth of the Lord Jesus, we discuss interesting truths not usually included in the re-telling of "The Christmas Account".   It is important for...

The fifth in a six-part "jet tour" summarization of Christ's earthly life, studied chronologically through the four gospel account of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  See Part I for a longer blurb on this study.

This is the sixth and final episode of our chronological synopsis of "The Life of Christ" from the four gospel of the New Testament.

The third in a series that summarizes our lengthy "Life of Christ" chronological study through all four gospel accounts.  See Part I for the blurb to explain more about this six-part study.

This is the second in our six-part study on "The Life of Christ" - a "Jet Tour".  Learn quickly a great deal about the Saviour of the world!

This is the first of six lessons that were a summarization of our long Life of Christ study (which took 8 years the first time taught and 12 years the second time).  We did something unusual - we studied all four gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) together, chronologically.  Using Dr. A. T. Robertson's "Harmony of the Gospels," we took Christ's earthly life one step at a time.  One le...

This lesson is on the last chapter of Revelation, which is the very last chapter of the inspired Word of God.  In Revelation 21 (Lesson #46), we discussed the Apostle John's description of the eternal beauties of our future home in the New Jerusalem.   In chapter 22, we are allowed to enter (through John's eyes) into the heart of the Holy City of Heaven itself, where we are given a brief, enticing...
