Jay Rogers has not provided us with a book on the preterist understanding of Daniel. He has provided us with a library on the topic! This meticulously researched and thorough treatment of Daniel from a preterist perspective includes over 700 pages of commentary on Daniel, its historical background and setting, New Testament allusions, and much more. It is enhanced with charts, tables, maps, and illustrations, and topped off with helpful, thorough indexes. A valuable work for anyone interested in Daniel. Don’t wait for the movie: get this book today!
The overarching message of Daniel is that Jesus the Messiah is even now ruling over the nations. He is the King of kings. Daniel tells us that Messiah’s kingdom will advance in the whole world from “generation to generation” (Daniel 4:4,34). Christ’s dominion is “given to the people of the saints of the most High” (Daniel 7:22). Our purpose then is to see “all people, nations, and languages … serve and obey him” (Daniel 7:14,27).
This comprehensive work offers a fascinating look at the book of Daniel in preterist perspective. Great attention is paid to the writings of ancient and modern historians and scholars to connect the dots and demonstrate the continuity of Daniel’s prophecy with all of Scripture.
Ronald Reagan changed his view as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
