More than two-thousand years ago, the chrono-specific predictive prophecies in the Book of Daniel were sealed up by the hand of God to prevent them from being understood. At the same time they were sealed up, God promised that the prophecies would be unsealed for understanding in the distant future, at the time of the end. Now, twenty-five hundred years after the prophecies were sealed up in ancient Babylon, they have been unsealed by an event that occurred in modern Israel. The event that unsealed them was the miraculous liberation of the Temple Mount and Old City of Jerusalem by Israeli paratroopers on June 7, 1967, the third day of the famous Six-Day War. The eschatological significance of that wartime event passed unrecognized by theologians and Bible scholarsat the time it happened, but it has since turned out to be the key that unlocked all of the Danielic prophecies for our understanding today. Daniel Unsealed faithfully interprets and fully explains the chrono-specific prophecies that were locked away in the Book of Daniel so long ago, as understood by conservative Bible scholar, chronologist, and observer of Jewish history Dan Bruce. Using the key to interpretation that was revealed for the whole world to see when the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was liberated by Israel in 1967, he has unlocked the Danielic prophecies for understanding by this generation. His interpretations are cogent and unique, and they give proof that the God of the Bible always has been, and still is, actively engaged in the affairs of mankind. By showing how the past two-thousand years of Jewish history were foretold by the prophecies in the Book of Daniel and how, one by one, the prophecies have been fulfilled in history exactly as predicted ... some in recent decades ... this book will open the eyes and ears of anyone who questions the reality of God's sovereign presence in the world today.
