Daniel’s 70 Weeks | Daniel 9:20-27

Daniel 9:24-27 is certainly the most difficult passage to interpret in the book of Daniel (which is saying something!). It is also one of the most difficult passages to interpret in the entire Old Testament. Although some of the most important aspects of these verses can be agreed upon by all Christians, there are still highly debated portions that have a big impact on one's eschatology and really are worth laboring to understand better!

The Resurrection Body | 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

The resurrection body is...

1. Reasonable (v 35-44) because of God's activity in nature.
2. Certain (v 45-49) because of the work of the Last Adam.
3. Necessary (v 50-58) because mortal bodies cannot inherit immortality.

This outline comes originally from Dr. Stephen Wellum's helpful essay here.

Antichrist: The Little Horn Wages War with the Saints | Daniel 7

Some Christians have been far too preoccupied with the Antichrist in church history. However, we do not want to be guilty of the opposite error of ignoring this individual altogether. The Apostle John warns us of "the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already" (1 John 4:3).
