The study of the book of Daniel covers ancient world civilizations prophetically and historically. The book exemplifies a man of integrity who lived under the constant temptation to compromise while living in Babylon. Some of the great tales of the Bible come from this lively book. It has also been called "the apocalypse of the Old Testament." The study of the "70 Weeks Prophecy" serves as a necessary prerequisite to understanding the final events.
This particular manual will span the Book of Daniel, verse by verse, in an attempt to understand his life and the prophetic office. The final three lessons will propose a possible timeline of events that will span from this present time (2021) up to and including the second coming of Christ.
This study guide is the accompanying Course Manual for The Life of Daniel at Northern California Bible College, www.ncbc.net. The course can be taken for Personal Enrichment at any time.
