The Servant Of The Living God

Modern scholars say that Daniel did not write the Book of Daniel during the reigns of Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius, and Cyrus, but instead centuries later. They claim that the Book of Daniel does not contain prophecies about the future but rather historical accounts presented as revelations from God. The attacks by these scholars must be answered because they are attacking the validity of the Scriptures. Daniel, Servant of the Living God by Michael D. McCubbins, Th.D., an internationally-known Bible scholar, thoroughly explains the issues regarding the veracity of the book. Daniel was a man for the times - the same kind of times that we face today. God says of Daniel, "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself" (Daniel 1:8a). We need men and women like Daniel who will purpose to not defile themselves with the world. With this book, you will learn: -The proofs of the authenticity of Daniel -The character of Daniel and his friends -The character of human empires -The meaning and fulfillment of the dreams and visions -The correlation between Daniel and the book of Revelation Since our culture so closely matches that of the empires of Daniel's day, you need to learn from Daniel's example of faith and obedience to God. This book will help you draw encouragement from Daniel's example to stand for truth.

"This book is not an academic study of what the church has taught, or what scholars have said, but rather a challenging study of what the Bible itself says about God. In The Living God, author R.T. France encourages us to come to grips with the broad sweep of biblical data, showing us that the God of the Bible is neither passive nor far removed from our everyday lives, but rather a dynamic and living reality to be engaged."--Back cover

Our one and only real purpose in writing this work has been to awaken love for the whole Christ, and when we speak of the whole Christ, we are referring both to the Christ who died for mankind in Jerusalem more than two thousand years ago, love for whom has been encouraged by manifest exegesis since the beginning of the Christian era, and at the same time, to the Christ preexisting and eternal. Although both are one and the same being, if we speak of the whole Christ, we cannot disregard the inseparable Christ who, from the beginning, has lain forgotten, unknown, crucified within every man, and who is only waiting to reveal his immortal, divine presence, invoked by love and faith. Then the true beatitude of his resurrection will arise in every man. (Pag.38)* The purpose of this work is to awaken in some men awareness that the canonical New Testament texts express a dual hermeneutic, and exegesis makes it possible, once one has assimilated a first reading, which we shall call manifest, to undertake a second reading, one that will be more difficult to apprehend, in order to find through it a new meaning which the Christian hagiographers called hidden, or secret. (Pag.28)*

Would you like to see God at work? Would you like to see God do mighty things? Would you like to be one of his mighty servants?

In a land of magic where parallel worlds are just a portal away, civil war rages. Saran and Keiler are elemental mages bound by love and sorcery: one destined to rule a kingdom, the other to destroy it. Five years ago, Saran reached into Keleir Ahriman’s heart and imprisoned the demon within him, tying her soul to his. Together, they’ve conspired against Saran’s father—a fanatical king who worships that world-ending demon inside Keleir, a being known as the Vel d’Ekaru. When Saran risks everything to save a village of innocent people, the king rips her magic away, splintering the wall she built around Keleir’s heart. Powerless and desperate, Saran struggles to see her rebellion finished and stop Keleir from becoming the Vel d’Ekaru–the Living God. In a world that is equal parts magic and political intrigue, heroine and hero must now battle their way back to each other if they are to overcome their doomed destinies.
