Introduction: How does temptation come to you? Is it in the big issues or the small issues of life? Our study this week is about three young men who were faced with the issue of worshiping a false god or losing their life. You may be thinking, "I've never had an...

Introduction: Last week we ended our study with a number of questions unresolved. We agreed that the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14 had to be symbolic days (meaning a day equals a year), not literal days. So, what happens at the end of this 2,300 years? What does it m...
