“As always in the Scriptures, the divine initiative is emphasized or assumed, and the fact that the living God is willing to enter into relationship with his creatures, and has shown them that he is worthy of their trust, is what gives biblical faith its distinctive character.” (Page 515)

“It seems quite probable that Darius the Mede was another name for Gubaru, the governor under Cyrus who appointed subgovernors in Babylonia immediately after its conquest (‘Nabonidus Chronicle,’ ANET, 306, and cf. Dan. 6:1; he is not to be confused with Ugbaru, governor of Gutium, mentioned also in the Chronicle as the general under Cyrus who conquered Babylon and died three weeks later). This same Gubaru is frequently mentioned in cuneiform documents during the following fourteen years as ‘Governor of Babylon and the Region beyond the River’ (i.e., the entire Fertile Crescent).” (Page 33)

“Abraham, Gen. 25:8), with the sense of satisfaction that they have enjoyed their natural span and that they continue to live on in their posterity, accepting their death as something natural. On the other hand, Ps. 90 bears witness to the belief that even a full life span is short and is cut off because of God’s wrath.” (Page 74)

“Physical death. This is the result of the entrance of sin into the world through Adam. It is the lot of all human beings” (Page 74)

“it makes dispensations into time periods rather than stewardship arrangements” (Page 161)
