Interesting perspective on Daniel and Revelation

An excellently organized review of the prophecies of Daniel and the correlations to the Messiah’s coming, both first and second. Sir Isaac Newton lays out the background details of the time periods associated with all the given material, and the material the prophet Daniel could have utilized, and how those material’s were preserved for future generations. Though understandings have been clarified since Sir Isaac’s time, the vast majority of his interpretations of Daniel’s prophecies, and the logical conclusions for those prophecies remain valid. The interpretations of the Revelation to John are not correct, but the timeline Sir Isaac lays out as to when prophetic events must happen in relation to others is correct. However, as he says at the beginning of his coverage of Revelation, the knowledge on this topic was to be sealed up until the end times, and he was not living in the last days, it was therefore folly to try and really seriously interpret the Revelation. Much of the events that could reveal the correct interpretations had not occurred yet. Still, this is an excellent resource for documenting the history of biblical events in relation to secular events, and a very encouraging read for true Christians.

Today that is considered impossible. And many Christians are guilty of knowing more about there jobs than about sound historical writings available to be studied with the same vigor as one would study for a work related certification or report they have to write. Yet this doesn't happen. We want to read the latest. I prefer books that have been around for awhile and this is one of them and worth the effort to read.
