Precept Upon PreceptLesson 6

DANIEL, Part 2 Daniel 10-12

On Being CHANGED by Prophecy

It is important that with every message something of an intensely practical character should be incorporated lest its hearers be carried away with the glowing pictures of the future and the visions of such prophecies as set forth in Daniel and The Revelation, while very careless and indifferent as to their life. Once when I was asked to give some addresses on the Second Coming of the Lord, a speaker sitting beside me remarked as someone entered before the meeting commenced, "There is one of the most godless men in our community and yet he is always on hand if anyone lectures on prophecy." He is so interested in finding out all about the future--When I got through preaching, this man came up to me. "Brother," he said, "I'm glad to know that you hold the Second Coming - I hold that too."

I asked, "Do you? Does it hold you? It is one thing to hold the Second Coming, it is quite another thing to be held by it. The Word says, 'Every man that hasthis hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.' Does it have that effect on your heart and life?"

2 Timothy 3:1–9

YOU, PERSEVEREto The End Based onJames 5

Be Patient & Endure even if you are wronged…..until the coming of the Lord, like…

The farmerwaits for the precious produce of the soil [provision], You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. The prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, who suffered. Job who endured hardship and saw that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. BecauseThe Judge is standing right at the door, do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged.

Pure in Speech Keep Your Commitments & Your Word

Remain Prayerful Pray, confessing sins to one another… in Faith, like Elijah

Persistent in Winning Souls If anyone strays from the truth, turn him back to save his soul from death. If anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each one looking to yourself so that you too will not be tempted. Galatians 6:1

In Love Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another 1 Peter 4:8
