More than 2500 years ago the Heavenly Messenger said the to the prophet Daniel, "Seal the book, even to the time of the end." Daniel 12: 4. By the sure word of the servant of the Lord we understand and know that the time of the end began in 1798, for since that date, "since 1798 the book of Daniel has been unsealed, knowledge of the prophecies has increased, and many have proclaimed the solemn message of the judgment near." GC 356. Chapters 10 thru 12 of the book of Daniel form a unit. The prophecy within this unit, which is primarily contained in chapter eleven, was to begin its historical fulfillment in 1798. The prophecy would thus begin to be understood, and people would be able to understand, and they would be able to understand it since that date. In Bible times, when Daniel wrote the book that bears his name, there were no verse and chapter divisions. Daniel 12 is a continuation and explanation of the prophecy of Daniel Eleven. "Let us read and study the 12th chapter of Daniel. It is a warning we shall all need to understand before the time of the end." Ellen G. White, Letter 161, July 30, 1903. A portion of chapter 12 is a recapitulation and further explanation of 11: 31. The 1290 and 1335 days of 12: 11-12 begin when 11: 31 meets its historical fulfillment, sometime in the future, when the "Sanctuary of Strength" is defiled and the "tamid" is taken away. That is to say, the "continuance" of Daniel 8: 11 (tamid ) is taken away. What happened in 66-70 A.D. when the temple in Jerusalem was under sieg and destroyed, is a miniature model, an example, of what shall take place at the time of the end-the last end-the last portion of the time of the end. This book, THE PROPHECY OF DANIEL11 "UNSEALED," is a fast-moving verse by verse interpretation of Daniel 11 and 12. There are no less than 3 charts. Of particular interest and importance is the last days' charts on pages 86A and 86B - the 1290 and 1335 days. The remaining portion of the prophecy of Dan

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.

Daniel was instructed to conceal the words and seal up his book until the end times (Dan 12:4). In the spiritual realm, I imagine he placed the Book of Daniel in a sealed jar, and it has laid dusty in a corner of heaven for 2500 years. But what if God has just broken open the jar? Should we re-examine all of our favorite prophecies anew now that Daniel is unsealed? I think the answer is a resounding, YES! Using sound biblical exegesis, we uncover the shocking identity of the Beast Kingdom, the countries that make up the Ten Horns of the Beast, why Time, Times, and half a Time is divided into three parts, and the meaning behind Daniel's mysterious numbers of days: 1290 and 1335.If these are the end times, then the Book of Daniel is newly unsealed, able to be read spiritually for the very first time. Prepare for a epic journey through this amazing book of prophecy to learn what God has planned for his saints in the Last Days.

The book of Daniel has always been at the heart of studies on Bible prophecy for God's people. The name Daniel itself means God is my judge. Living in the judgment hour naturally draws students of prophecy to a book about the judgment. We live at a time when we need to draw closer to Christ more than ever. E. G. White commented, “Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God will bring from the books of Daniel and Revelation truth that is inspired by the Holy Spirit.” While digging deeper into the prophecies of Daniel, it is amazing to see the practicality of Christian living in this apocalyptic book. In each chapter, the author, Norman McNulty, brings out the practical message of Daniel for God's people living in these last days in addition to digging deeper into the apocalyptic passages.

The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.
