BEREAN LIBRARY STUDY.

(March 25-31.)

Try to learn the essential points so thoroughly that you can lay the text-book aside, and from the Bible alone state the historical event that answers to each statement of the prophecy. Do not be discouraged if you can not do this as readily as you wish, but keep trying. A most profitable and interesting family review may be held by reading a portion of the prophecy, and each member of the family telling all the details that he remembers of the corresponding history.

Lesson 17.

(Dan. 11:20-27; “Thoughts on Daniel,” pages 239-250.)

1. Identify the Roman emperor referred to as a “raiser of taxes,” and also his successor, “a vile person.”

2. What most important event occurred during the reign of Tiberius? What essential dates may here be established as authentic?

3. What power is referred to in verse 23? To what league is reference made? What were the provisions of that league?

4. Note the peculiar policies of Rome foretold in verse 24.

5. What circumstances led to the conflict between Rome and the king of the south? Describe the battle of Actium.

6. When does the prophetic “time” of verse 24 begin and end? What event marked the close of that period?

7. What was the final result of the war, and the fate of the rulers of Egypt?

Review Topics.

1. Review that portion of Dan. 9: 25-27 which is touched upon in this lesson.

2. Give a brief but connected outline of the prophecy of the lesson.

3. Spend a short time in fixing the geography of this and previous lessons in mind, in drilling on the correct pronunciation of the proper names, and in memorizing essential dates.
