A verse by verse commentary on Daniel ... the Bible's amazing apocalyptic book of the Old Testament. Within its pages, nations, events and even individual people were foretold ... often, decades or even hundreds of years before they actually stepped out upon the scene of human history. Daniel is the apocalyptic book of the Old Testament as Revelation is the apocalyptic book of the New Testament. The word, "apocalyptic" comes from the word "apocalypse", referring to disasters or doom or ... as is the case in these two books of the Bible ... the end of the world. Daniel and Revelation predict many of the same events and personalities that will occur on earth. Hence, they go hand in glove together and are both essential for the study of end times (eschatology).
