Prophecy. End times. The Antichrist. The Son of Man. Kingdoms. Angels. Prophetic visions.
The book of Daniel contains some of the Bible’s most remarkable—and most challenging—prophecies. Which have already been fulfilled? Which still point to the future? And how do they connect with Revelation, the Antichrist, and the return of Jesus Christ? Man of High Esteem is a thorough, verse-by-verse commentary that makes Daniel’s complex visions and prophecies understandable to the everyday Bible student. Follow Daniel from the courts of Babylon through the rise and fall of world kingdoms, the four beasts, the Son of Man, the Seventy Weeks, the abomination of desolation, the final Antichrist, the Great Tribulation, and the events leading to Christ’s return. Discover how Daniel’s prophecies were fulfilled with remarkable accuracy in history—and how those events may provide a pattern for what is still to come. But Daniel is more than prophecy. It is also the story of a man who remained faithful to God in a powerful pagan culture—a man heaven called “highly esteemed.”
To understand Revelation and the events surrounding the return of Christ, you must first understand Daniel.
RALPH YOST has been conducting in-depth studies of the Bible for over 33 years. In his first published Biblical work, "Salvation My Soul To Keep," he critically examines the view held by the majority of Evangelical Christian believers that once a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, their salvation is unconditionally secure (known as perseverance of the saints).
In his second published Biblical work, "Daniel: Man of High Esteem," he critically examines what the scriptures tell us in the Book of Daniel, Daniel's prophecies and about the return of Jesus Christ. He shows how the passages of Daniel are interconnected to the Olivet Discourse and the Book of Revelation.
Professionally, he worked as an engineer for the Federal Aviation Administration for thirty two years performing testing, research and development of the air traffic control system and is now an aviation systems consultant. For years, Yost has published his professional work and has been a public speaker advocating Airborne Internet.
His wife Celeste Yost is an accomplished author who continues to publish numerous popular books. They live in Cape Coral Florida.
