UNFOLDING THE WORD With Dr. Gary Kuhne

The Chapter 8 visions of the unfolding human kingdoms affecting the Jewish people also reminds us that there is an invisible warfare lying behind all human events. This is true for human society at large and for each of us as individuals in the circumstances of our lives. As Ephesians 6 reveals, we fight not against merely “flesh and blood”, but against Satan and his fallen angels! And the backdro...

SUNDAY EXPOSITIONS” are extended weekly Bible teaching times in which I go through a Book of Bible verse by verse. My current exposition is taken from the Book of Galatians.  This week in honor of Easter I have taken a break from Galatians to look at I Cor. 15:1-20.

The Goat kingdom (the Greek Empire established by Alexander, the “Great Horm”) broke into 4 Kingdoms following Alexander’s death. These four Kingdoms (the 4 horns) each impacted upon the Jewish people in different ways. But one of the 4 Kingdoms, the Seleucid Kingdom, had the most impact on the Jewish homeland and its capital of Jerusalem. A ruler of the Seleucid’s, Antiochus Epiphanes (the little...

“SUNDAY EXPOSITIONS” are extended weekly Bible teaching times in which I go through a Book of Bible verse by verse. We are currently in a brief break from my current exposition on the Book of Galatians. Today I am examining Luke 19:28-48 and the issues emerging during the Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem. 

The vision of the Ram and Goat kingdoms took place 3 years after the Chapter 7 dream. Babylon is still existing – the Chapter 5 downfall of the kingdom is still 7 years in the future at this point. The 8th Chapter vision focuses on the next two Kingdoms that would be impacting on God’s people, the Medo-Persian empire and the Greek empire created by Alexander the Great. The primary purpose is to fo...

The 7th Act in the Chapter 7 drama of history is the time of judgment on the “Little Horn” (the Anti-Christ) and the return of the “Son of Man” (the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ) and the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. The Chapter 7 dream underscores that God is the true Lord of History, that history is unfolding according to a Divine plan, and that there is no solution to the problems o...

The 6th “Beast” (another of the specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history) is the “Little Horn Bast”. This person and his empire emerge following the time of the “Ten Horn Beast”, i.e., the reemerged Roman Empire, in the form of a 10 nation-confederacy. This “Little Horn” is none other than the Anti-Christ spoken about in a number of other passages of the...

The “Beasts” refer to specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history. The first three kingdoms were the Babylonian empire, the Medo-Perian Kingdom, and the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great. Acts 4 and 5 introduce us to the Terrifying Beast and the “Ten Horn Beast”, which actually are the same nation/kingdom at different points in the unfolding history of...

The “Beasts” refer to specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history. The first “Beast”, the “Flying Lion” refers to the Babylonian Empire, the empire represented by the “Golden Head” of the Chapter 2 dream. In today’s verses we examine the next two kingdoms, the Bear Beast (refers to the Medo-Persian Empire) and the Leopard Beast (The Greek empire that was led...

The Chapter 7 dream is now like a play with 7 acts, providing an accurate picture of the future. In fact, the various prophecies in Chapters 7-12 underscore that God is the Lord of History. The thread of the prophecies is the link to the 1stand 2nd Comings of the promised Messiah. The dream in Chapter 7 covers the same time frame as found in the dream of Chapter 2. The “Beasts” refer to specific k...

Chapter 7 begins a new focus in Daniel. Chapters 1-6 focused on the chronology of Daniel’s life from the time of his childhood under the Babylonian Empire through the time in his early 80’s serving Medo-Persian Empire. Chapter 7-12 now focus on a number of prophetic visions given to Daniel that concentrate on the future events and groups that would be impacting on the Jewish people. The thread of...

The jealous leaders plot Daniel’s downfall by tricking King Darius into making a law that would conflict with Daniel’s faith and Daniel now found himself in the Lion’s Den. King Darius was grieved that the law trapped Daniel, but couldn’t change the result. But Darius knew that God could save Daniel & he p[rayed for this miracle. The morning proved God had worked – Daniel was alive and untouch...

The jealous leaders plot Daniel’s downfall by tricking King Darius into making a law that would conflict with Daniel’s faith. Daniel knew the law was designed to destroy him, but determined to obey God rather than man. The King Darius was grieved that the law trapped Daniel, bought couldn’t change the result. But Darius knew that there was One Who could solve this seeming unsolvable problem – Dani...

Chapter 6 opens with the Babylonian empire now past and replaced by the Medo-Persian empire (the head of gold replaces by the chest/arms of silver, as Chapter 2 dream predicted). God has moved Danile back into a position of high executive power in the Babylonian province of the new empire, positioned to assist in the return of God people to Judah following the famous edict of Cyrus that would be i...

It is now 23 years after the death of King Nebuchadnezzar and the once mighty empire has fallen on hard days and the Medo-Persian armies under leadership of King Cyrus are surrounding the walls of Babylon. King Belshazzar is rebuked by God using the “finger of God” to write the words “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin” on the wall. Daniel is called to help and he does help by reminding the King of the les...
