The Bible reveals a God who acts with precision, not approximation. His words are not vague forecasts open to conjecture, but declarations anchored in truth and time. When Scripture speaks of prophetic timelines—particularly in the Book of Daniel—it demonstrates that God’s omniscient plan unfolds through exact events in measurable history.…
How Doctrinal Chronology Made Science LoseRespect for the Authority of Scripture The Early Spirit of Inquiry For most of Christian history, biblical chronology was not a closed dogma but a living branch of scholarship. Medieval and early modern thinkers regarded the Bible as a record of real events set in…
For nearly two centuries, belief in seven years of unimaginable end-time tribulation has stood as a cornerstone of conservative Christian eschatology—and has even found vivid expression in Hollywood’s apocalyptic films. Repeated for so long by so many, the idea has taken on an almost sacrosanct authority, and questioning it is…
Introduction In my commentary Daniel Unsealed, I explain in detail that all of the prophecies in the Book of Daniel have been fulfilled, with the final prophetic fulfillment being realized in 1967 when Jerusalem returned to Jewish sovereignty exactly as foretold in Daniel 8:13-14. That work established the historical, chronological,…
Some time ago, I had an interesting conversation with a professor who teaches at a conservative Christian college. He wanted to “straighten me out” about the interpretation of Daniel 9:24–27—the portion of Scripture that contains the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks—which I expound in my book Daniel Unsealed. He assumed…
For centuries, skeptics have dismissed biblical prophecies as vague, retrospective, or coincidental, attributing them to human invention rather than divine foreknowledge. Yet the precise fulfillment of prophecies in Daniel 8:13–14 and Luke 21:24 provides compelling evidence for the omniscience of the God of the Bible—a Being who knows the end…
Chronology and Meaning On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gathered with His disciples in an upper room to share what appeared to be a simple meal. Yet this meal, occurring before the official eating of the Paschal lamb, became the hinge between covenants—the closing of the old and the…
How Light Became Matter and the Universe Remembered Its Origin 1. The Eternal Field of Light In the beginning, there was not a bang, but a bath—a timeless sea of photons (like the singularity, it just was). This radiant continuum, infinite in extent and perfectly balanced, carried both wave-like…
This essay is intended as a philosophical-theological exploration, not a scientific model. Its analogies to physics serve to illuminate the biblical text rather than to redefine physical theory. The reflections align conceptually with known cosmological principles—relativity, expansion, and mass-energy equivalence—but remain grounded in the scriptural narrative of creation. By interpreting…
From his first major work, Daniel Unsealed, through a growing body of historical, theological, and apologetic studies, Dan Bruce has pursued one unifying mission: to demonstrate that understanding chronology is an important key through which divine revelation becomes intelligible. His writings, diverse in subject yet consistent in purpose, reveal a…
