Many current commentaries and Bible study guides take a tippy-toe approach to the prophetic portions of Scripture. Feeling that Bible prophecies are incomprehensible mysteries, they offer “suggestive rather than exhaustive” handling of books like Daniel, providing for “creative application on the part of the reader.”
In this book Leslie Hardinge offers not only in-depth, Christ-centered scholarship but also practical application of prophecy to daily life. He points out that the main thrust of the book of Daniel is the revelation of Jesus Christ. He is the One who said, “Now I tell you before it comes to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am He.” The purpose of the prophecy is to nurture faith and help us live in preparation to meet the Master.
An intense student of Biblical truths, Hardinge invites us to profit from his research into God’s perspective on the world and the climax of human history-that moment when “the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.” |
