This week's passages were 1 Chronicles 3, 8, Daniel 4-9, Ezekiel 29-30, 40-48, 2 Kings 25, Jeremiah 52, 2 Chronicles 36, and Ezra 1-4. I want to discuss two sets of passages from this week's readings. They are typically considered eschatological, or prophecies concerning end times, when God issues His final judgments on humankind and [...]
