Daniel Study
A Bible-based study of Daniel that establishes the prophetic foundation for Revelation and calls the reader to the tested faithfulness required to stand in the time of the end.
Introduction
The book of Daniel stands at the foundation of all biblical prophecy. It reveals how God has unfolded His purposes through history, how truth has been preserved amid opposition, and how judgment ultimately vindicates the righteousness of His government. More than a record of prophetic symbols, Daniel is a testimony of faithfulness—showing what it means to stand loyal to God in times of testing, pressure, and crisis.
This Daniel study approaches the book as both prophetic framework and personal preparation. It reveals how God prepares a people to stand firm when truth is contested, worship is enforced, and allegiance is tested. Daniel is presented not merely as prophecy foretold, but as prophecy lived—calling the reader to develop the same faith, loyalty, and trust in God that will be required in the closing scenes of earth’s history.
Purpose of This Study
This study is written to establish a clear prophetic foundation and to prepare the heart for what lies ahead. Daniel reveals the outline of world history under divine control, the progressive conflict between truth and deception, and the certainty of divine judgment and deliverance. Rather than isolating prophecy from experience, this study shows how prophetic truth and personal faithfulness are inseparably connected.
Daniel prepares the reader to understand Revelation correctly, to recognize counterfeit systems, and to remain steadfast when faithfulness carries a cost.
