"The Mystery of the Ages" was first placed in writing in the fifth century B.C. by Daniel the Prophet. Daniel, at the age of 16, was taken into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar and given the name of Belteshazzar. Belteshazzar meant "Bel Protect His Life." Daniel's wisdom and divinely given interpretive abilities brought him into a position of prominence, especially in the courts of Nebuchadnezzar and Darius. He is one of the few well-known Bible characters whom nothing negative is ever written. His life was characterized by faith, prayer, courage, consistency and lack of compromise. This greatly beloved man was mentioned three times by his sixth century B.C. contemporary Ezekiel as an example of righteousness. Now some 2500 years later, Daniel's writings are now completely understandable. Daniel 9:27 is a Matrix and basis for all of the "noted" days of chapter 12 of Daniel and chapter 11 of Revelation. As you read this book you will positively know that the days of Daniel 12 and Revelation 11 are the last 7 years of this age and is the timing element that leads to the date of the rapture and other listed events.
