Daniel - A Student's Guide

For the Bible student, the Prophecy of Daniel is of great interest. The wonderful prophecies it contains provide the most compelling evidence that the words recorded by Daniel were given by Divine inspiration.

It also contains biography, and describes in detail the personal experiences that Daniel and his friends endured, as they were exiled from their homeland. It describes Daniel's personal faithful example in the face of great adversity, and provides important lessons that we must apply to the circumstances of our daily lives, as we await the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish the Kingdom of God.
