The Book of Daniel Prior to my enrollment in a religion course, I had conducted little study on the Book of Daniel. Just as many children are raised in a Christian home, I had heard the stories of the courageous Israelites, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s trail in the fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a colossus figure, and how the faithful Daniel spent a night in the ferocious den of lions. However, the prophecies and predictions contained in the book had never been a topic of

Living the Word of Wisdom in Zion Poor Emma, once again, scoured the black, sick-smelling, sticky chew, in hopes of removing it from the floor. I imagine her frustration as her aching knees buckled underneath her sore arms. I’m sure her stomach churned at the thoughts of where the snuff had been before its foul odor assaulted her delicate nose; not to mention the thick smoke that still lingered in the attic and clung to all upholstery with little hope of ever escaping again.

(Isa. 54:5; Jer. 3:1-14; Hos. 2:9, 20). In Malachi 2:14 we see that marriage is a holy covenant before God. In the Jewish custom, God's people signed a written agreement at the time of the marriage to seal the covenant.
