Daniel: Introduction
A number of timelines have been constructed to graphically represent the prophetic events described in the book of Daniel. Unlike the book of Revelation, not all the chapters in the book of Daniel lend themselves to develop prophetic timelines. For example, the first half of Daniel is mostly an account from a historical perspective of the work of God in the midst of Israel and the Gentiles. However, there is discussion for each chapter. Chapters one and seven have multiple timelines, and are displayed in parts.
The focus of this site is to not provide an exhaustive commentary on this wonderful book of the Bible. An excelent and free online study on Daniel is found at Bible.org, with a study series on Daniel, to which the reader is referred for more information. There are many other fine works that provide that information, and available on the internet and in Christian book stores. Another resources is a book titled "Daniel" by Walvoord, which also gives an in-depth view of the book of Daniel. In contrast, this website provides a high-level overview with timelines that will touch on all the chapters.
