The book of Daniel is a key element to understanding eschatology and end times events. It ties closely to other eschatological passages. This commentary is designed to explain Daniel in plain terms and language. The explanation goes verse by verse yet encompasses a holistic perspective of the entire book and how it fits into prophecy of end times events. Additionally, this commentary explains how Daniel's prophecies were fulfilled in history (when applicable) but also how those same prophecies will be repeated in the final last days. The Bible student who wants to understand the book of Daniel will find this commentary thorough, extensive, yet easy to comprehend and follow. It is not intended to be a deep academic work that the common person cannot follow. Instead, it takes the complex and explains it in a way that all can understand.
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.
