Verse by Verse Exposition For sheer interest, the Book of Daniel must rank amongst the foremost of the writings of the prophets. Firstly, it is so interwoven into the remarkable

experiencs of the man himself, as to excite the interest of the reader. It is full of supernatural marvel, both in the evnts which it records, as in t he visions which it descrigbes. But its interest is eclipsed by its importance in relatio nto world hisory: it not only preserves unique and vital links in the chain of world events, but it also sets forth important chronological features that hold the key to the time periods of Yahweh's purpose with the earth.

The book of Daniel is unique in that it not only provides a plan of prophecy that is basic to the understanding of all prophecy, but it also supplies time limits for its fulfilment.
