It is based in the greatest city of the ancient world: Babylon. It contains some of the most famous stories known: like the three men in the fiery furnace and a praying prophet in the lions' den - who all lived to tell the tale. But it is more than a history book, travel log and grand story. It contains the key to understanding all last days Biblical prophecy. This is the greatness of the Book of Daniel. In 'The Prophet from Babylon: Understanding the Book of Daniel, ' you will be led through this most inspiring, colorful and complex subject. Gain insight to the Nebuchadnezzar's grand dream of a multi-metal statue - representing four great world empires. Daniel 9:24-27 is called the '70 Weeks Prophecy' and it is the foundation stone for all end time prophecy. In these four verses you will learn about the timing of Messiah's appearance, his death and the abomination of desolation. This prophecy proves Messiah had to publicly appear before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. The Book of Daniel helps you understand the Book of Revelation, and vice-versa. Rather than mystify you, The Prophet from Babylon will motivate you to learn more about Biblical prophecy, which is a bright 'light that shines in a dark place' (2 Peter 1:19).

For centuries, controversy has raged over the authorship and genuineness of the book of Daniel. Is it an authentic document from the sixth century before the Common Era with a message from God to postexilic Israel; or is it a forged document written centuries later to encourage Israelites being oppressed by the Seleucid king, Antiochus Epiphanes? Robert Johns addresses these issues and more in his thesis on Daniel's visions. Importantly, Johns establishes when Daniel was provided with his visions, and he defines why God provided Daniel with the visions. The Visions of Daniel the Hebrew Prophet examines the metal image, the beast with eleven horns, the Seventy "sevens," chapter eight's little-horn, and the 2,300 evening-mornings. It demonstrates that the enigmatic 1,290 days and 1,335 days are anything but enigmatic, and it identifies the reason why Daniel's fifth and final revelation is so detailed. Appendices address issues of general nature, such as the historicity of Jesus the Christ, the popularity of dispensationalism, the identity of "the abomination that desolates," and the integrity of novels representing the Christian-fiction genre (which focus on a seven-year tribulation period at the end of history). This book will be of value to every Christian who has an interest in Bible prophecy and eschatology.

"Suddenly, I found myself standing on a hard floor instead of being under the oak tree. A thick cloud of fog that streamed with light obscured my vision. The cloud moved all around me and when it brushed against me it felt alive. Then a powerful voice called my name." Follow Daniel, an ordinary fifteen year old boy, with a non-Christian upbringing, as he experiences a face to face encounter with Jesus, receives his call into ministry, and embarks on the fascinating journey of preparation, getting a glimpse of Heaven and the angelic and how inter-related they are with life.
