Mark 4:11–12 offers a remarkable insight into the nature of Jesus’ ministry: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they…
The book Daniel Unsealed by Dan Bruce (available as a PDF download in the FREE BOOKS section of this website) explains that all predictive prophecies in the Book of Daniel have now been fulfilled in history. This has profound implications for several major religious traditions. Some groups depend heavily on…
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.…
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…
In the years since publishing Daniel Unsealed, my continuing study of the prophecies in Daniel, chapters 4 and 7–12, has revealed profound implications for the entire field of eschatology. Those chapters, when read carefully in their historical and textual context, disclose a sequence of divinely timed events that ran unbroken…
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…
When trying to understand the prophetic timelines given in Scripture, using words alone can easily produce a mind-numbing maze of verbiage. For generations, interpreters of the Daniel prophecies have explained the numbers associated with Daniel’s “weeks,” “days,” and “evening-mornings” with approximations—but without considering exact measurement. What I discovered by recalling…
