"A study on the messages found in Daniel and Revelation"--

First published in 1970, this book helped spur the modern rise of postmillennialism. Revelation's details are often perplexing, even baffling, and yet its main meaning is clear: it is a book about victory. It tells us that our faith can only result in victory. "This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4). This is why knowing Revelation is so important. It assures us of our victory and celebrates it. Genesis 3 tells us of the fall of man into sin and death. Revelation gives us man's victory in Christ over sin and death.

We are not given a Messiah who is a loser. These eschatological texts make clear that the essential good news of the entire Bible is victory, total victory.

"Daniel 11 is one of the most difficult texts of the Bible. The history of interpretation reflects this difficulty, as it offers to the biblical student the confused picture of diverse and often contradictory interpretations. The difficulty has to do with the "coded" nature of the chapter, a characteristic feature that has been well recognized. As such, this text uses a symbolic language that should be elucidated, and contains allusions to other passages of Daniel or other biblical texts that need to be traced and established. This chapter deserves all the more the utmost attention of the biblical student because it is a key text for the understanding of the whole book.
