Religion and Theology

Eschatology refers to theology of the last days. The book of Daniel talks about eschatology using signs, symbols and visions. The vision of Daniel was that of the Messiah where he saw the Messiah in the world who was to come and save all the mankind from their sinful ways. Most prophets had seen the coming of the messiah but they did not have the full details like the one Daniel had as it has been highlighted in this book.

Daniel had a very understandable details especially the one which concerned the Gentiles and the Israel (Daniel 924-27). This therefore implies that Daniel was the main prophet in revealing most of the prophecies in a well structured way. Daniel fulfilled the revelations of these two prophecies out of the four revealed in the bible. The other prophecies which have been revealed are the ones for the angels, and the church as the first and the fourth respectively while Daniels revelations were the second and the third which concerns the Gentiles and the Israel.

Chapter nine of this book has been started with the prophecy of Jeremiah concerning the Jerusalem which was to be under desolations for a period of 70years. This prophecy was interceded by Daniels prayer. The Daniel also had a vision of comprehending the bible writings in the desired way through the Angel Gabriels as the messenger. In this book, all the chapters develop all the prophecies of Daniel in relations to the end days in the bible as indicated in revelations chapter 19.

Most of these prophecies were shown to relate to the mankind in general but finally it is indicated that it applies to some few identified people. In this book, chapter ten has discussed in details the fourth vision where the tribulations have been categorically mentioned. The vision also indicates the resurrections which have also been discussed in the twelve chapters. This indicates the climax of Daniels prophecies in his book which affects the Gentiles and the Israel. Daniels prophecies are related to the nineteenth chapter of the book of revelations, the final book in the bible (Walvoord, 107).
