From the Introduction:
The Book of Daniel was recorded by the prophet and seer Daniel while the Jewish people were in Exile in Babylon circa 605-536 BCE. It was revealed to him by an angel, a messenger of God, and has been preserved in the Writings section of the Tanakh. It contains predictive prophecies that were sealed away from understanding by direct command of God as soon as the prophecies were handed down, prophecies meant to be understood by the Jewish people in the latter days: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Dan. 12:4) and “Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end” (Dan. 12:9).
Two predictive prophecies recorded in Daniel are expounded in this book. They are explained in excerpts from two commentaries previously published by your author as stand-alone books. The first is from the book Proof of God, explaining the prophecy in Daniel, chapter 8. The second is from the book The Messiah Prophecy, explaining the prophecy recorded in Daniel, chapter 9. Those two predictive prophecies are of special significance in this age insomuch as they furnish verifiable evidence supporting two fundamental claims of the Tanakh.
Firstly, the prophecy in Daniel 8 affirms the existence of the God depicted in the sacred texts and asserts that he, the all-powerful living God, actively oversees the affairs of mankind today. Secondly, the prophecy in Daniel 9 affirms that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah of Israel who would confirm the New Covenant foretold by Jeremiah. Additionally, it sets time constraints proving that Jesus is the only person in Jewish history who could have fulfilled all of the messianic prerequisites given in the Tanakh.
The evidence concerning Jesus as the Messiah in Daniel will be a revelation to many Jewish people. For two thousand years the rabbis and sages of Israel have rejected the claims that Jesus fulfilled all of the requirements necessary to be recognized as the Redeemer of Israel. Even non-religious Jews are usually familiar with the reasons rabbinical Judaism gives to explain why the ancients rejected Jesus, and why rabbis today are still telling their Jewish congregations to reject him.
However, few Jews are told that the reason he was rejected as the Messiah during his lifetime was clearly foretold in the Tanakh. It was a consequence of spiritual blindness, that is, the inability of the first-century Jewish leaders to understand what the prophets had written about how to identify the Messiah when he arrived.
The cause of their blindness is no mystery. Centuries before Jesus appeared to Israel as prophesied, God, speaking through the prophet Isaiah, had pronounced a divine judgment of spiritual blindness on the Jewish nation and its leaders, saying: “For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed” (Isaiah 29:10-11). The sealed book that was foretold by Isaiah was the subsequent Book of Daniel, as confirmed in Daniel 12:4, when God speaking through his angel commanded: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
During the Six-Day War of 1967 in Israel, the promised end-time increase in knowledge was made manifest on the third day of the war, June 7th. That day saw the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel 8:13-14, an event witnessed on television by millions around the world. Today, it stands as divine confirmation that the seal placed upon the Book of Daniel in antiquity has been removed and that the hidden knowledge sequestered within its predictive prophecies is available for modern understanding. Commencing on the following page, the prophecy in Daniel 8 is interpreted in the excerpt from Proof of God. Following that exposition, the interpretation of the prophecy in Daniel 9 will be interpreted in the excerpt from The Messiah Prophecy.
