  • Why Chronicles When We Already Have Kings?
    May 17 2026

    What is the true message of the Books of 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles?

    In this in-depth Bible study, we explore why Chronicles was written after the Babylonian exile and how it calls God’s people back to covenant faithfulness, temple worship, and unity under the line of David.

    Discover the major themes of restoration, the rebuilding of the temple, the importance of the Levites, and why the Chronicler focuses so heavily on David, Solomon, and true worship in Jerusalem.

    This lesson explains the historical background behind Chronicles, its relationship to Kings, and why the post-exilic audience needed this message. We also examine the theological emphasis on the Davidic covenant, united Israel, covenant blessings, and the restoration promises connected to the prophets.

    Whether you are Reformed, Presbyterian, evangelical, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture, this study will help you grasp the purpose and structure of Chronicles in the grand story of redemption.

    Topics covered include:

    Why Chronicles was written after the exile

    The difference between Kings and Chronicles

    The importance of David’s royal line

    Temple worship and the Levites

    The return from Babylon under Cyrus

    Hezekiah, Josiah, and covenant renewal

    God’s restoration promises to Israel

    How the Chronicler encourages faithful worship

  • Daniel’s 70 Weeks Explained—The Final 3½ Years, A.D. 70, and Christ’s Return
    May 12 2026

    What are the “seventy sevens” in Daniel 9?

    Does Daniel’s 70th week describe a future seven-year tribulation, or was it fulfilled in Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70?

    In this Bible study on Daniel chapter 9, we examine Gabriel’s answer to Daniel’s prayer and trace the timeline from the decree of Cyrus, to the rebuilding of Jerusalem, to the coming of the Messiah, the crucifixion of Christ, and the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70. This lesson argues that the final 3½ years of Daniel’s 70th week extend from the destruction of the temple until the return of Christ — a symbolic period of tribulation in which the Church waits watchfully for Jesus’ coming.

    This teaching interacts with dispensationalism, the future tribulation view, and the idea of a prophetic “pause” in God’s timeline. From a Reformed and covenantal perspective, the lesson explains how Daniel 9 connects with Leviticus 26, Matthew 24, Revelation, and the New Testament teaching that believers presently live in an age of tribulation while awaiting the consummation of Christ’s kingdom.

    If you are interested in Reformed theology, Presbyterian doctrine, biblical prophecy, covenant theology, amillennialism, or careful expository preaching, this study will help you understand one of the most debated prophetic passages in Scripture.

    📖 Key Topics Covered:

    Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy explained

    The meaning of the final 3½ years

    Why A.D. 70 matters in biblical prophecy

    The destruction of the temple and the end of sacrifices

    The Messiah being “cut off”

    Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24

    Tribulation in the present Church age

    Reformed and covenantal interpretation of Daniel 9

    Amillennial vs dispensational readings of prophecy

  • Daniel 9 Explained—The 70 Weeks & Jesus. It's History!
    May 3 2026

    In this in-depth Bible teaching on Daniel 9, we carefully walk through the prophecy of the seventy “sevens” and its fulfillment in redemptive history.

    What did Gabriel’s message to Daniel really mean? How do the 70 weeks connect to the coming of Jesus Christ, the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, and God’s covenant purposes?

    This lesson takes a historically grounded, Reformed approach—interpreting Scripture with Scripture—while emphasizing God’s sovereignty over time, prophecy, and salvation.

    You’ll learn how the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the timeline of 69 weeks, and the arrival of the Anointed One point clearly to Christ. We also examine the meaning of the final week, the cutting off of the Messiah, and the end of the sacrificial system. This is a rich, verse-by-verse explanation designed to strengthen your confidence in God’s Word and deepen your understanding of biblical prophecy.

    Perfect for Christians seeking clarity on Daniel’s prophecy, eschatology, and the unity of Scripture.
