A Summary of the book of Daniel
Date and place: Written from Babylon and Shushan about 606 or 616 to 536 B.C.
Author: Daniel the prophet, a captive prince from Judah {Daniel 1:3-6}, an interpreter of dreams and
visions {1:17; 2:12-49; 4:8-27; 5:10-13), prime minister under several kings (2:46-49; 5:29; 6:1-3),
and prophet of God (7:28; 8:1;9:2123; 10:1-12; 12:1-13).
Theme: Prophecies of the Gentiles world kingdoms from Daniel’s day to the Millennium and eternal
kingdom of God on earth (2:38-45; 7:17-27; 8:20-25; 9:24-27; 11:40; 12:13). Daniel also records
the history of Babylon and Medo-Persian (10:1-11). {The universal theory that the book of Daniel
covers the whole length of the time of the Gentiles is false.} Daniel saw these times as happening from
his day on, but that does not prove their entire length was predicted by Him. He only saw the World
kingdoms that were to oppress Israel from his day to the setting up of God’s Kingdom on earth. He
could not predict the history of the oppression of Israel by the Egyptians and Assyrians before his day.
There are eight world empires in the times of the Gentiles.
Statistics: 27th book of the Bible; 12 chapters; 357 verses; 11,606 words; 16 questions; 218 verses
of history; 79 verses of fulfilled and 60 verses of unfulfilled prophecy; 7 commands; 4 promises; and
16 messages from God in the book of Daniel.

The Times of the Gentiles
{Daniel 2:38-45; Luke 31;24}
 By the term the times of the Gentiles we mean the administration of the Gentiles, as the
rod of chastening upon Israel, to further God’s purpose concerning them. It began with Israel’s
first oppression by the Gentiles in Egypt, and will continue with the history of Israel
through this dispensation of Grace.

It will end at the return of the Messiah in glory when he will deliver Israel from the
Gentiles and exalt them as the head of all nations in the Millennium and forever {Luke
21:24;
“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled”. Further logos; Roman 11:25, Revelation
19:11-20;10}.

WHAT PART DOES GOD PLAY IN THE AFFAIRS OF NATIONS?
Daniel 2:20-21 "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His:
and He changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings and setteth up kings: He giveth
wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.“
The God of the universe presented to Nebuchadnezzar a picture of events to come in order to
show him that a power greater than himself was at work in the world. This fact is still true today.
Indeed, all rulers are subject to God's decrees.
One writer has said: "The power exercised by every ruler on earth is Heaven imparted; and,
upon his use of the power thus bestowed, his success depends. To each the word of the
divine Watcher is, 'I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me . . Break off thy sins by
righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy
tranquillity." The divine Watcher said to Nebuchadnezzar, "That the living may know that the most
High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will" (Daniel 4: 17).

 Daniel, the “Apocalypse of the Old Testament,” presents a surprisingly
detailed and comprehensive account of prophetic history. After an introductory
chapter in Hebrew, Daniel switches to Aramaic in chapter 2-7 to describe
the future course of the gentile world powers.
Then in Daniel chapter 8-12, Daniel reverts to his native language to survey the
future of the Jewish nation under gentile dominion.
The theme of God’s sovereign
control in the affairs of the world history clearly emerges and provides comfort to the
future church, as well as to the Jews whose nation was destroyed by the
Babylonians. The Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans will come and go, but
God will establish His kingdom through His redeemed people forever. Daniel’s three
divisions are: the personal history of Daniel {1}
the prophetic
plan for the
Gentiles{2-7}, and the prophetic plan for Israel {8-12}. Key message: is that 2000
years ago, the events of present day society for the end time was predicted by the
Almighty God, the Self-Existent One, who is fire all by Himself.

The Praying Daniel
The Book of Daniel is the most
quoted book in Revelation. Daniel
was a prophet to both Gentile and
Jew.
Daniel came from a Judean
family of nobility and was in his late
teens when he and three other young
men were deported to Babylon. Note
whilst in Babylon the King had
ordered
that
Daniel
and
his
companions were to eat royal fare
which included both wine and other
foods forbidden for Jews. Daniel and
his three friends ate only vegetables
and drank water.
Daniel lived a life without
blame in Babylon. Prophet
Ezekiel says he was a
model of righteousness
{Ezekeil14:14-20;
28:3}.
Daniel rose to become
prime minister of Babylon.
It is interesting to note that
Daniel considered his body
the Temple of the Holy
Spirit, God honoured him.
After 10 days of a correct
diet, Nebuchadnezzar said
he found Daniel and his 3
friends 10 times better than
all the magicians and
astrologers that were in his
realm 1:20}. Daniel is the
Key to Biblical prophecy,
and all the prophecies
passages..can only be
unlock as we understand
the prophecies of the book
of Daniel.
