In the years since publishing Daniel Unsealed, my continuing study of the prophecies in Daniel, chapters 4 and 7–12, has revealed profound implications for the entire field of eschatology. Those chapters, when read carefully in their historical and textual context, disclose a sequence of divinely timed events that ran unbroken…
