Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of biblical prophecy, specifically focusing on the visions of the prophet Daniel. The author embarks on a historical exploration of these visions, meticulously examining their fulfillment through a comprehensive analysis of ancient empires and historical events. The text guides readers through the rise and fall of powerful kingdoms, including the Medo-Persian and Macedonian empires, drawing striking parallels between the symbolic language of prophecy and the documented chronicles of history. The author meticulously dissects the conquests of Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great, demonstrating the astonishing accuracy with which Daniel's visions foretold their empires' trajectories. Beyond historical analysis, this book delves into profound theological themes, exploring the intricate relationship between divine providence and human history. The author emphasizes the significance of seemingly mundane details in scripture, such as genealogies and historical records, arguing that they reveal God's intimate involvement in the lives of individuals and nations. By illuminating the historical and theological depths of Daniel's visions, this book underscores the enduring relevance of biblical prophecy in understanding the complexities of our world and the unfolding of God's plan. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

Since my former work, a volume' has appeared, by a noble and learned author, whom I have the privilege to know, on the Times of the prophet Daniel. With a very deep personal regard for that noble author, whose studies are a bright contrast to the follies which occupy too many of our peers, I am compelled to differ entirely from his views. I had prepared a chapter on the sub jcet for the present work but as it seemed rather foreign to the scope of the volume, I have suppressed it at present. But I feel it right to observe that I have examined closely the two difficulties, which alone give a seeming strength to his Grace's theory, - the succession of names in the Persian history, and the two covenants under Zerubbabel and N ehemiah,-and feel confident that I can meet them both with a full and complete answer'. It seems to me surprising that the paradox of two Scripture Nebuchadnezzars, and a Scripture Cyrus, totally unknown to profane history, in the reign of Longimanus, contemporary with Cimon and Pericles, can ever be received by any mind, accustomed to pay the least regard to the laws of evidence. Every fresh inquiry has only increased my confidence in the usual chronology, derived from the Canon of Ptolemy, and its truth, I believe, may be almost entirely established even by Scripture evidence alone.
