“Daniel was not conformed to this world, but he was transformed by the renewing of his mind, and the will of God was the all–absorbing purpose of his life.” (Page 19)
“The key verse to the Book of Daniel is Daniel 2:44: ‘And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.’” (Page xi)
“Three ribs in the mouth’ are the three kingdoms that constituted this empire: Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt.” (Page 114)
“We should notice that the determining factor which brought Daniel to this prayer was his study of the Word of God. The Word reveals the will of God. A study of God’s Word, followed by prayer, is the formula for determining God’s will.” (Page 145)
“The bear, representing the kingdom of Medo–Persia, corresponds to the arms of silver of Nebuchadnezzar’s image” (Page 114)
