Publisher's Synopsis
Daniel is one of the most attacked books in the Bible. Critics have undermined Daniel's authorship and the historically fulfilled prophecies. Recent archaeology has resolved many of the controversies. Daniel is also one of the most important books regarding a complete understanding of eschatology, the doctrine of last things. Every believer, teacher, or pastor needs an understanding of the prophecy of Seventy Weeks in Daniel Chapter 9. Readers of this verse-by-verse expository commentary will benefit from: - Recognizing Daniel as the authentic writer who faithfully served Jehovah God during seventy years of captivity. - Developing a proper method of interpretation for Old Testament prophecy. - Understanding the Vision of Seventy Weeks found in Daniel 9. - Identifying God's prophetic plan for believers and unbelievers for the times in which we live. The author spent over twenty-five years teaching through Daniel verse by verse. This book will help: - Make the complex more understandable. - Provide Biblical, cultural, historical, and archaeological background behind the people, places, and events. - Use Scripture to explain the many prophetic symbols. - Highlight the relevance and application of this prophecy for believers today. C. David Wright completed undergrad studies in Religion at California Baptist University and graduate studies in Theology at Liberty University. He has served various pastoral roles for 40 years in both California and Florida, and has had the privilege of writing and teaching college courses. He has continued teaching verse by verse through Daniel, each time building upon previous study and teaching, and by God's grace leading to this expository commentary.
