The Prophet Daniel: A Key to the Visions and Prophecies of the Book of Daniel, 2nd ed.
Overview
Prophecy is history rewritten. The history of nations, the times of the Gentiles, the present age in which we live, its course and end, the coming glories in a future age—all this and much more God has revealed. But the center of all prophecy is Jesus Christ—his sufferings and glory, his first and second coming. The book of Daniel, perhaps more than any other, deals with great prophecies—some unfulfilled to this day. In The Prophet Daniel, Gaebelein outlines the trajectory of world history through the prophecy in the book of Daniel. He shows how the past fulfillment of prophecy in Daniel provides added certainty of future fulfillment.
Top Highlights
“He is seen in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation as the second beast out of the earth. He has two horns like a lamb, but speaks like the dragon. He imitates Christ. He possesses all the power of the first beast, which is Satanic power. He has power to work wonders and make fire to fall out of heaven in the sight of men. Then he deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles. It is a fulfillment of 2 Thessal. 2:9–12.” (Pages 88–89)
“The times of the Gentiles started with the Babylonian captivity by Nebuchadnezzar.” (Page 18)
“The stone which falls from above is the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Coming in great power and Glory” (Page 35)
“three great actors of the time of the end, all three will be energized by Satan and endued with his power.” (Page 87)
“ but the interpreting One tells Daniel that the Saints of the Most High shall receive it with Him.” (Page 80)
