This week we continued our talk on Daniel. To start off the class they were warned to pay close attention. We talked about what sorts of things we need to get ready for, here are some of their answers: school, church, bed, a party....and what we need to do to get ready for them.
We had 2 bottles of water, one was dirty water with pond moss inside of it, the other was pure, clean water. They were aked which bottle they would like to drink from, when they all picked the obvious, I asked why. We then talked about how we should try to stay clean and stay away from sin that would dirty our lives.
John 14:3 was written on the board, 'When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.' The kids were asked to say the verse a few times trying to memorize it. Then one word at a time was erased as they continued to say the verse memorizing it until half the words were gone.
We talked about Daniel, chapter 7, where Daniel had the vision of the 4 different beasts, and how then thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. Then someone like a son of man came down from the clouds of heaven. And how this man approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence. He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world - never ending.
Daniels vision was then explained, how the 4 different beasts represented four kingdoms that will arise from the earth. But in the end, the holy people of the Most High will be given the kingdom, and they will rule forever. But how war was raging on God's holy people and was defeating them, until the Ancient One - the Most High - came and judged in favor of his holy people.
We talked about how even before Jesus was born, Daniel had a vision of Him coming out of the clouds and joining God, the Ancient One. His vision was about Jesus coming back for his people. When this happens it will be a big surprise, no one knows the day or the time. We need to live every day, ready for his return.
Just as we are warned in the Bible to always stay ready, Jesus is coming, the kids were warned to pay close attention today and a prize was awarded to Aryanna, for doing just that. Just as we will recieve an eternal prize for staying ready, for doing all things to please God and living every moment for Jesus.
We ended with a surprise for all - cookies and juice!
And of course a parachute game.
