"This is a commentary on the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation"--

"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. Indeed Daniel 11, the longest prophecy of the book of Daniel, radiates everywhere in the book, and illuminates its message"--

Written in moments of history when the forces of hell appeared to have taken control of the earth, Daniel and Revelation are the two most intriguing and often difficult Bible books for the average reader to interpret. However, to avoid them is to miss their messages of hope and faith for today's Christians living in a world seemingly engulfed by evil. With easy to understand explanations of why and how apocalyptic literature was written, Dr. Efird strips away the mystery surrounding the strange visions and symbols. Putting them in their proper perspective, he leads the reader to the heart of the biblical writers' very simple message - ÓGod is always in control.Ó Dr. Efird presents Daniel and Revelation not as mere road maps for the end of the world, but as magnificent biblical literature to give Christians confidence in the supreme majesty and power of God. Excellent for personal or group study with reflective questions for each chapter.
