This 48-page study guide will help you answer the following questions:

- Why should we study Bible Prophecy?

- What is the principle of the literal and the spiritual when interpreting end-time prophecies?

- Why is the first half of the book of Daniel in the form of stories while the second half is all prophecy?

- Why did God allow King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to attack His people and His holy city?

- What is the theme of the entire book of Daniel? Why is this important to know?

- What is the significance of biblical names and their meanings in the Bible?

- How does Daniel's decision to not defile himself apply to our own daily choices?

- What is the day-year principle? How do we use this principle to accurately understand the time prophecies of Daniel and Revelation?

Bible prophecy is not a mystery. Bible prophecy can be understood. This bible study on Daniel chapter 1 (in two parts) will introduce the theme for the entire book of Daniel and provide the framework to compare literal, ancient, geographic Israel to the spiritual, global church today. Just as God's people went into captivity into literal, ancient, geographic Babylon and came out, so too, God is bringing His global church out of spiritual, end-time Babylon. Babylon means confusion and God is now restoring His church and bringing them out of confusing, conflicting doctrines to prepare His people for His soon return! You will also learn about the significance of names in the Bible and their meanings to prepare for a later study where you will be able to identify the exact meaning and significance of the mark of the beast and how it contrasts with the name of God (watch our Revelation 13 Mark of the Beast Bible Study). In addition, you'll understand the significance of Daniel's decision not to defile himself and how it directly applies to our own daily decisions. Lastly, we'll cover the day-year principle to accurately interpret bible time prophecies and what that means for us today. Watch the free videos at angelsintheglen.org/daniel1
