Daniel’s story is like none other. Taken hostage to Babylon as a teenager, he rose to become chief adviser to two world leaders, Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar and Media-Persia’s King Darius.

The famous story of the three boys in the fiery furnace. Jack presents it as a model of the Great Tribulation, with the three boys representing Israel, the King of Babylon as the anti-Christ, and the astrologers, or Chaldeans, as the false prophet. The question is, where’s Daniel?
The only chapter of the Bible written by a Gentile King. Nebuchadnezzar tells how the Creator of the Universe got his attention and convinced him that there was Someone greater than himself. The first person account of a king’s humbling conversion.
Several of the sayings we still use today come from this chapter. “The handwriting’s on the wall”, “your days are numbered”, and “your number’s up” are some examples. This is the story of how an impregnable fortress was conquered without a battle using a plan God devised before it existed.

With verse 36, Daniel 11 goes from history to prophecy, from the anti-Christ to the Millennium.

An exciting conclusion!
