1.- Introduction.
This second half of the book of Daniel is entirely visionary.
Daniel is a Judaic prince, who spends the whole 70 years of the
captivity of Judah (606-536 BC) at the royal court in Babylon.
There he receives from God, through dreams and visions, insight in what
will happen to his people
Israel, from the time they are living in a hostile world there in Babylon,
until de end times.
The visions of Daniel reach until the time when God will restore the
"Kingdom of Israel”, see also Acts 1vs6: “When the apostles met together with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, will
you at this time give the Kingdom back to Israel?”
This "Revelation to Daniel" we should read together with the
"Revelation to John."
Together they give us a more clear understanding of the time we live in: “the End Times”, in which we now find
ourselves.
This text-by-text study intends to be of a help for achieving this goal.
This document
describes what is written in the Bible about that what must happen before the
return of Christ. Always have been used and quoted the biblical texts from the
book of Daniel, in addition to related texts from elsewhere in the bible.
The style of the document
is to "let the Bible speak" and only add comments where needed to
assist in understanding the correct meaning of the texts.
Always when the Bible
is quoted, the text will appear in italics.
