Daniel Explained


Book Description

This commentary on the Book of Daniel-one of the most extensively researched ever written-offers vital information to every reader. For unbelievers It amasses compelling evidence that the book is an authentic writing of Daniel, the great Jewish statesman who lived in the 6th century BC. It shows also that his book accurately predicts Jewish experience during the next several centuries. It fully explains the riddle of the 69 weeks-the prophecy foretelling when Jesus would come. The solution presented here is the first to prove by correct dates and calculations that the prophecy was exactly fulfilled. It is also the first to let Scripture itself identify the events framing the interval. Conclusion The Book of Daniel is divinely inspired. For believers In its analysis of Nebuchadnezzar's dream image, it is the first to establish conclusively what the feet represent. The feet-a picture of the final great empire before Jesus returns-are the United Nations, and the toes are the ten regional governments now embracing virtually all nations of the world. Conclusion Jesus' return is drawing near. For those alive during the Tribulation It revives and defends the ancient view of the church that the Antichrist will come from Syro-Iraq. It demonstrates that soon after the Tribulation begins, Egypt will attack Syria. It sketches out the other horrific opening events of the Tribulation. Conclusion You dare not miss the Rapture."

Daniel: Practical Living in the Judgment Hour


Book Description

The book of Daniel has always been at the heart of studies on Bible prophecy for God's people. The name Daniel itself means God is my judge. Living in the judgment hour naturally draws students of prophecy to a book about the judgment. We live at a time when we need to draw closer to Christ more than ever. E. G. White commented, “Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God will bring from the books of Daniel and Revelation truth that is inspired by the Holy Spirit.” While digging deeper into the prophecies of Daniel, it is amazing to see the practicality of Christian living in this apocalyptic book. In each chapter, the author, Norman McNulty, brings out the practical message of Daniel for God's people living in these last days in addition to digging deeper into the apocalyptic passages.




Agents of Babylon


Book Description

In his #1 New York Times bestseller Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah explored the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players. Now, in the much-anticipated follow-up, Agents of Babylon, Dr. Jeremiah examines prophecy through the eyes of the characters in the book of Daniel, explains what the prophecies mean, and helps us understand how these prophetic visions and dreams apply to our lives today. Written in the same highly engaging half dramatization, half Bible teaching format as Agents of the Apocalypse, Agents of Babylon is not only an in-depth exploration of the characters and prophecies contained in the book of Daniel but also a dramatic retelling of Scripture that is sure to bring ancient prophecy to light like never before.




The Message of Daniel


Book Description

The Old Testament book of Daniel contains well-known stories: Daniel in the den of lions, his three companions in a fiery furnace, and the strange handwriting on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, which struck terror in the heart of the Babylonian king. However, this book can be difficult to understand. Along with stories about Judean exiles working in the court of pagan kings, it also consists of Daniel's enigmatic visions and prophecies about the future. It is written in two languages, Hebrew and Aramaic, and the language division does not match the subject division. Therefore, Dale Ralph Davis explores the book's background, discusses significant interpretative issues and problems, and offers a lively exposition of Daniel's message, which may be summed up in the words of Jesus: 'the end is not yet... but the one who endures to the end will be saved' (Mark 13:7, 13). The Bible Speaks Today series covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised editions are redesigned inside and out and have been sensitively updated with contemporary language and Bible translations to help you follow, study and teach the Bible in today's world.




Daniel: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary


Book Description

In this volume from the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary, Paul Tanner argues that the book of Daniel is the Old Testament blueprint of the Bible's overarching eschatological narrative. Tanner examines key aspects of the book of Daniel such as the revelation of Israel's future in relation to gentile kingdoms, God's exaltation of Daniel as a channel through whom he reveals his will and God's sovereign control of the nations under whom Israel is being disciplined. Tanner provides exegetical insight to help readers better understand not only how God worked in Israel's history through Daniel, but how he sovereignly directs all of world history--for all time.




Daniel in the Lions' Den


Book Description




Daniel


Book Description

Here is an excellent and up-to-date commentary on Daniel that can be unreservedly commended. There is a good, though brief, introduction, in which especial attention is paid to the discussion of the literary affinities of Daniel. The original translation takes account of all relevant recent work, while the commentary is full and first class. The author has read and digested a considerable amount of modern literature on Daniel and brought to it his own careful and balanced judgement. His critical positions are rarely new, but in the reviewer's opinion they are sound - and sound judgement is better than novelty! On many of the problems of the book an incredible amount has been written, expressing an enormous variety of opinions. Professor Porteous is not concerned with the history of interpretation, and contents himself with a brief treatment of such questions, presenting his own considered view or suspending judgement where a decision between competing views cannot be made with confidence ... More important than all such matters is the religious and theological value of the book, and it is his attention to this that gives Professor Porteous's commentary its special quality, and makes it a notable addition to the series for which it has been written' (Society for Old Testament Study Book List).
