Never before has the biblical book of Daniel been explained as by this author. Thirty years of study and research. This book explains the reason for wars, the loss of the dominions by the great nations. It explains the curse that hangs over the European royals if they marry with none royals: abdication of the throne, fatal accidents, divorce etc. It explains the reason for the slaughter of six million Jews. It explains why Hitler could not be killed by those who plotted to kill him. The book of Daniel predicted the death of Alexander the great, of the Russian royals, of Grace Kelly and the Princess Diana. It also predicts the death of Prince William should he venture on a non-royal marriage. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the royals of Europe are the last to be on the thrones of Europe and that in their days the kingdom of god is to be re-established in the Holy Land. A fascinating book and a must read for all Bible researchers and scholars.

This book is the author's obedience to God. The purpose is to help the many individuals who are diligently seeking to understand their future as revealed in the Bible and the Jew who is interested in Israel's prophetic future. To accomplish this purpose, many Bible prophetic scriptures need to be correctly understood and put into a proper time sequence with the other scriptures. The author has sought to achieve this purpose by the arrangement of these Bible scriptures with minor commentary. Christians need to be prepared for the tribulation that is coming on those who truly trust in Jesus as Lord. Details of the true believers rapture (taking up) into Heaven need to be studied very carefully. Jews need to understand God's will for their acceptance of Jesus now as their Messiah. This requires that we be taught by the Holy Spirit with much prayer. Author James Robert (Bob) Baker is 81 years of age and has been married to his wife Laura for 56 years.

This book seeks to review Bible prophecy related to the end times in a consistent manner, resisting the liberties taken in so many works on prophecy. Common theories such as so-called Gap Theory, and a future, rebuilt Jewish temple, are nowhere mentioned in Scripture. Daniel asserts some prophecy was to be sealed until the very end times. Attempts to understand this prophecy prior to the end times would necessarily be fruitless no matter how sincere the student. The unsealing of this prophecy is not to the credit of Pastor Colburn or any other theologian, but rather to the time in history we now find ourselves.

The Archangel Michael told Daniel that the prophecies would be sealed until the time of the end. Discover how the prophecies in the book of Daniel are being unsealed in the events taking place today. Daniel's visions were given for us today. The wise will diligently search the word of the Lord and ask for wisdom to understand God's plan.

More than two-thousand years have passed since the seven chrono-specific predictive prophecies in the Book of Daniel were sealed up to prevent them from being prematurely understood. After the command to seal them was given by God, it was revealed in the Bible that the prophecies would not remain sealed up forever, but would again be unsealed for understanding at the time of the end. Now, twenty-five hundred years after they were sealed up in ancient Babylon, the prophecies have been unsealed in modern Israel. The event used to announce the unsealing to the world occurred in Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, namely, the return of the Temple Mount to Jewish sovereignty on June 7, 1967. The eschatological significance of that event went unnoticed by biblical scholars and theologians at the time it happened, but it has since turned out to be the key that was needed to unlock and understand all of the Danielic prophecies.Using the interpretative key that was revealed for the world to see when the Temple Mount was liberated by Israel in 1967, biblical scholar and sacred chronologist Dan Bruce has interpreted the Danielic prophecies anew for this generation. His Bible-based exposition fully explains the seven chrono-specific predictive prophecies that were sealed up in the Book of Daniel so long ago. His fresh new interpretations are cogent and unique, and give undeniable proof that the God of the Bible always has been, and still is, actively engaged in the affairs of mankind. By showing how the past two-thousand-plus years of Jewish history were foretold by the chrono-specific prophecies in Daniel and how, one by one, those prophecies have been fulfilled in history exactly as predicted—with some being fulfilled as recently as 1967—this book will open the eyes and ears of anyone who questions the reality of God's sovereign presence in the world today.Note that the interpretations of the Danielic prophecies in this book replace and/or make obsolete the interpretations of the prophecies found in the Book of Daniel, chapters 4 and 7-12, as explained in the commentaries of the following expositors: Jim Allen, Max E.
