DisclaimerThis presentation has not been approved or evaluated by any church or any of their affiliates, or state or any of their affiliates, or

Education and Salvation purposes only and reflects my Biblical understanding and conviction of God’s design for ultimately saving
whosoever wants be saved.
Hence the information presented is not to be used as a weapon against those who hold a different view from that which has

presentation.
Therefore, the use or misuse of any information contained herein is at the sole risk and discretion of the user and I am not liable

In addition, my motive is to be an instrument in The Lord’s hands, “To open many eyes, so that they may turn away from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God and that many may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance
among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Jesus Christ. (Acts 26:18).
I hold this truth that the Authorized King James Version of the Bible (1611 AD) is The Word of God in the English Language and
has been preserved by God to be studied by all English speaking person.
If it is your desire to be saved, contact Jesus Christ our High Priest. He resides in The Most Holy Place of The Heavenly Sanctuary
and in the hearts of the contrite through His Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:7; Isaiah 57:15). All matters that pertain to forgiveness of sins
as well as the blotting out of sins and the receiving of the Latter Rain when the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of
The Lord (Acts 3:19), must be directed to Jesus Christ through prayer. See John 3:16; Matt. 11:28; Matt. 1:21; Hebrews (entire
book) The entire KJV Bible.

head knowledge of the Bible, of Jesus

Friends our first and highest duty is
to know what is truth. Jesus declares
that He is the way the truth and the

Christ is eternal by nature and we
have this life only as we abide in
Christ the living truth through HisWord (Jn. 15:4-7, 10; Jn. 17:3).

Friends, in reviewing the few quotations from
the previous slides, I am ashamed of myself
for I have not yet walked in the shadow of
The Desire of Ages (Jesus Christ). But by HisGrace He will through us accomplish
everything we have just read. Moreover He
will accomplish even greater. Why not read
the book? There are lots more about Jesus.Why not read the book of John. Why not
hand over your all to Him?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 20/55

manifest in His stance beside them in
their dilemma, thus saving them. In
so doing He makes apparent His
chief purpose for all mankind-He

The title Nebuchadnezzar applied
to the forth person in the fiery
furnace is “The Son of God”. How
did he know it was the Son of
God? Daniel must have had bible
study with the king one could
assume. But we need not assume
anything for only our Lord andSavior Jesus Christ practice the
art and has the skills of saving His
children. See Isaiah 33:22; Luke
2:11; Acts. 5:31; Matt. 1:21.

our every actions. He is theUltimate Watcher of Daniel

Daniel 4:24 with 4:17 it is
clear that the decree is
clearly that of the Most

decision and command.

to Gabriel. Jesus’ angel is Gabriel.
That is, the angel who is closestto Him in heaven. Jesus created
all things Col. 1:16-17 including

Suffice it to say that Gabriel wascommissioned by our Lord to
protect, care and deliver Daniel.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 43/55
So you thought Jesus wasn’t in
every chapter of Daniel?Jesus is in every chapter of Daniel. Every
theme revolves around Him. Every narration
revolves around Him. And every prophecyrevolves around Him. If the themes,
narrations and prophecies did not revolve
around Jesus Christ, then the study would not be worthwhile. For by beholding Jesus we
become change into His likeness. 2 Cor. 3:18
8/2/2019 Daniel Introduction 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 44/55
There will be moments in our study that will really evoke emotional instability. The
cruelty of world powers against God’s people are not so nice to read from the pages
of history.
8/2/2019 Daniel Introduction 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 45/55
In fact history will repeat itself and the present
world powers will make certain of this fact. To know
before hand what will happen to those of us who
hold true to His Word is good. In fact it is very good,and because of this we can make preparation to face
the final onslaughts of Satan’s wrath.
8/2/2019 Daniel Introduction 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 46/55
But what is of paramount importance is the
philosophy of the book of Daniel. Unlike the gloomy
picture I have just painted and showed, the
philosophy gives Hope and rekindles Faith in ouromnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent Lord and
Savoir Jesus Christ.
So what exactly is the philosophy of the book of Daniel and all prophetic books including the book of
Revelation?
8/2/2019 Daniel Introduction 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 47/55
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of
heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be
destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to
other people, but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for
ever.” Daniel 2:44
In essence the destruction of all forms of World Orders
and the establishment of God’s Kingdom which stand
for ever is the philosophy of prophecy. In a nutshell, the
philosophy of Daniel is,
Will you be on the Lord’s side or the
enemy’s side?
8/2/2019 Daniel Introduction 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/daniel-introduction-3 48/55

hearts. But that is if we desire Him to take
full control

period on every person. If we pass the point
of no return, then we are responsible for
