God had allowed the unthinkable to happen. Daniel's people were in exile in Babylon. His promises seemed to go unfulfilled. Was God in control? Was he faithful? Did he still care about them?
A young man, Daniel, said yes. And it cost him a struggle and he had to pay a high price. But his proclamation that the Lord is King, even in Babylon!, continues to echo through the ages in history and from the future that was revealed to him.
Some parts of the book of Daniel have always been popular - the thrilling stories of the three men in the fiery furnace, Daniel in the lions' den, and the strange writing on the wall that filled the heart of the king of Babylon with horror. But beyond all this drama, the contemporary reader is faced with enigmatic prophecies about the future. What do they mean? Were they for Daniel or were they for us? Ronald S. Wallace delves into the background and gets to the message of Daniel for his time and ours.
