Introduction- Things to Remember about the Book of Daniel

It is our opinion, that it will help us understand the Minor Prophets better, if we have a working knowledge of the Book of Daniel

1 Ezekiel 14:14,20 - Daniel is named as “a righteous man”, as are Noah and Job.

2 Daniel 9:23 Daniel is called “dearly beloved” by the Lord

3 Matthew 24:15 Jesus called “Daniel the prophet”

Cf Deuteronomy 18:22

Deuteronomy 13:1-5

1 Corinthians 14:37-38

2 Peter 2:1 it is my opinion that many false teachers today are

calling themselves “prophets”

4 When Daniel speaks of “my people”, he always means “Israel”

5 When Daniel speaks of “my land’ he always means, “land of Israel” Genesis 15:18-21

6 When Daniel speaks of “my God” he means the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”

Cf Daniel 2:21 God of my fathers

Genesis 31:42 God of Abraham

Exodus 3:6 God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Exodus 5:1 Lord God of Israel

Matthew 22:32 God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

7 Eleven of the twelve chapters begin with the name of a Gentile King

8 The book begins the “Times of the Gentiles’, and concludes these times (Luke 21:24)

9 We believe the Babylonian Captivity of Israel becomes a type of the Great Tribulation, that will take place just before the Second Coming of Christ (Matthew 24:29-20)

10 The Captivity in Daniel, foreshadows the kind of troubles the Jews will suffer in their time of trouble (Jeremiah 30:7). It also foreshadows the ways God will preserve His people, the Jews, during that time of trouble.
