Daniel, a young Jewish man taken by the Babylonians as they overrun Jerusalem, is brought to Babylon to serve the great King Nebuchadnezzar. Once there, Daniel begins an incredible journey as he becomes ruler over the province of Babylon, receives visits from archangels, and ultimately, stands in the presence of God. This is all brought about because Daniel chooses to worship God, and because of this, God blesses Daniel with incredible wisdom and insight to interpret "visions and dreams of all kinds." On two occasions Daniel and his friends are faced with the command to worship false gods or be killed. But, in some of the most miraculous events of the entire Bible, God intervenes and keeps them from sure death. Because of the blessing from God, Daniel is able to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dream about the future of four powerful kingdoms from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar right up until the time of Jesus Christ's return when God's everlasting kingdom will finally be ushered in. God reveals three powerful kingdoms that will succeed Babylon and carry on their traditions of religion and worship. As you read this book you'll be surprised to learn what kingdom we're now in, how the Babylonian religious system is all around us, and what God says is in store in the future for the nations.

Human Forms
Author: Ian Duncan
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691264783
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
A major rethinking of the European novel and its relationship to early evolutionary science The 120 years between Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1749) and George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871) marked both the rise of the novel and the shift from the presumption of a stable, universal human nature to one that changes over time. In Human Forms, Ian Duncan reorients our understanding of the novel's formation during its cultural ascendancy, arguing that fiction produced new knowledge in a period characterized by the interplay between literary and scientific discourses—even as the two were separating into distinct domains. Duncan focuses on several crisis points: the contentious formation of a natural history of the human species in the late Enlightenment; the emergence of new genres such as the Romantic bildungsroman; historical novels by Walter Scott and Victor Hugo that confronted the dissolution of the idea of a fixed human nature; Charles Dickens's transformist aesthetic and its challenge to Victorian realism; and George Eliot's reckoning with the nineteenth-century revolutions in the human and natural sciences. Modeling the modern scientific conception of a developmental human nature, the novel became a major experimental instrument for managing the new set of divisions—between nature and history, individual and species, human and biological life—that replaced the ancient schism between animal body and immortal soul. The first book to explore the interaction of European fiction with "the natural history of man" from the late Enlightenment through the mid-Victorian era, Human Forms sets a new standard for work on natural history and the novel.
