Welcome

Many Sabbath School class teachers either preach a sermon to their class or deliver a monologue on the whole lesson, going through it "day-by-day." The most rewarding sessions involve the members in discussion. These questions here are intended to stimulate the active participation of the members in your class. Of course pertinent information imparted by the teacher is also very valuable, for which there are many resources in print and on the internet. This site seeks to provide a resource for discussions.

If you are a member and not a teacher and your class is boring, try asking questions such as these in your class.

Four Animals

  1. Was Daniel 7 a dream or a vision? What is the difference?
  2. How can a superior kingdom be defeated by an inferior one?
  3. Why do you think God used familiar animals in the beginning and an unfamiliar one at the end?
The Little Horn
  1. Why do we say the animals represent kingdoms when the angel plainly says they represent kings? Is there any difference?

The Court was Seated
  1. From the sequence in the dream how can we tell when the court scene will begin?

  3. How can we tell which parts of the dream/vision are literal and which are symbolic?
The Coming of the Son of Man
  1. Why is Jesus described as the Son of Man rather than as the Son of God?
  2. How do we know that this Son of Man is not a human being?
  3. Why is God referred to as the "Ancient of Days?" How is that epithet significant in this context?
