The Book of Daniel is a key book in understanding Bible prophecy. Prophecy centers in the nation of Israel and the role that the nation will play in God's plan for the earth.

At the writing of the book of Daniel, the nation is being taken into captivity for its sin and rebellion against God. God's purpose in the book of Daniel is to communicate to Israel and to the nations that He is using Israel's captivity to bring in the "Times of the Gentiles" (i.e. the rule of the Gentiles over Israel and the world) but only as a temporary situation. He is doing it for the chastening of the disobedient nation. That nation was called of God to be His nation on the earth. Through God's work in chastening of that favored nation, it will again one day be His nation. Israel will then be God's means of blessing the Gentile nations under the reign of their Messiah.

Bible Prophecy focuses of essentially the entire Bible outside of the Pauline Epistles. The theme of prophecy is the kingdom reign of Israel's Messiah over the earth.
