 * Curriculum for 7th Grade
 * Read first 3 paragraphs in Wikipedia section on [|difference between apocalypse and prophecy]:
 * What are some of the differences between apocalyptic and prophetic litrerature?
 * __//**Some differences are that prophetic literature shows preaching and repentance while apocalyptic literature shows more trust and patience. (I will use P for prophetic literature and A for Apocalyptic literature) P believes that earth is god's world and on it is his kindness and trust. P also touches more on the future than A does. A writes more about the present rather the past or future; they would rather write about the task/problem at hand. P would first write down their literature and A would first say their ideas then write them down.**//__
 * Read [|Prophecies of Daniel: Why they point to us].
 * Do you agree that the Book of Daniel refers to modern times
 * __//**Yes, because literally every prediction came true. From Empire to the Internet, from mass transportation to infectious diseases, and the recreation of Israel as a nation. But I remain skeptical about this because there were not enough specific details about each prediction, for example: he did not say what the disease was, there were millions of infectious diseases during his time period.**//__
