The Prophet Daniel: A Key to the Visions and Prophecies of the Book of Daniel

by Arno C. Gaebelein

The Book of Daniel with its great prophecies, both fulfilled and unfulfilled, is one of the most interesting portions of God's Holy Word. The importance of the Book in many ways cannot be overestimated. Sir Isaac Newton said, "To reject Daniel is to reject the Christian religion." We might say to ignore the great prophesies, which were given to this wonderful man of God, leaves us without any knowledge of the prophetic Word concerning "things to come." The Book of Daniel is composed of two parts and is written in two languages, Hebrew and Aramaic. We may therefore divide the Book in a twofold way. The first six chapters form the first part of the Book. These chapters do not contain prophecies by Daniel. We see the Prophet as the divinely chosen interpreter of what had been revealed to Nebuchadnezzar in dreams. The Second part of the Book comprises Chapters vii-xii. In this part are recorded the communications which God made to Daniel. Here we find no longer dreams but visions. As to Daniel the man, we know more of the personal history of Daniel, of his character, than of any of the other Prophets. A man of faith and a man of great prayer, he talked with angels. The Lord appeared unto him and he had the visions of God.

About the author

Arno Clemens Gaebelein (1861-1945) was a Methodist minister in the United States of America. He was a prominent teacher and conference speaker. He was also the father of educator and philosopher of Christian education Frank E. Gaebelein.

Being a dispensationalist, he was a developer of the movement in its early days. Two of his books, Revelation, and Analysis and Exposition and Current Events in the Light of the Bible explain the dispensationalist view of eschatology.

Gaebelein did not support the Christian Zionists in their alliance with the Zionist Organisation.

Not very well written, did not enjoy.

[Carrie Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like many books about the end-times, it extrapolates, (it takes a pre-trib stance on the end times, which is highly questionable) and it's difficult to judge the legitimacy of some of his claims, but I appreciate this book because of it's clear analysis of the prophecies relating to Christ. Knowing how accurate the prophecies were truly adds a depth of awe to my faith. I also appreciate the practical life-applications for Christians of all generations that Gaebelein includes intermittently. It is definitely a book that requires multiple readings, alongside study of the book of Daniel and other O.T. books.
