God’s revelation through Daniel outlines His purpose through the ages, and given well in advance so “the living may know that the Most High ruleth”.  In fact Daniel provides the key to all biblical prophecy.  It does not take a theology degree to recognize the great emphasis on future things in the Bible, nor is such a degree required to properly understand it.  Yet clearly it’s a study requiring a great deal of caution if we would build our view straight and true. 

This Reading Companion was developed in a Bible college context, yet it presents practical truths that have proven helpful over the years to scores of sincere seekers of truth. The material has been left in the original class by class portions to make it easier to use further in a classroom setting.  Related verses of the Bible head the pages on which they are explained and applied, that God’s words might always remain in our focus.

May the Lord of glory guide your heart as you explore the wonders of His Word. Priceless are the treasures to be found there. May He build your good understanding of practical Christian living as He lifts you to spiritual maturity in Jesus. “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of My mouth.” (Proverbs 4:5)
