Daniel 9:1-3—DANIEL’S BIBLE STUDY METHOD WAS DISPENSATIONAL: Daniel in 539-538 BC, was doing a prophetic Bible study of Jeremiah 25:11-12.
How did Daniel interpret prophecy in the Bible? Allegorically (everything is a code for something other than it literally says) or Literally (God is telling us specific events in the future)?
Daniel (and all other Old and New Testament writers, always took the plain, normal sense of Scripture as meaning what is said about the future.
God Gave a Simple Map:
The Bible offers us a map of the future that is flawlessly accurate and a guide for us to understand history—
past, present, and future.
When God Almighty who rules from Heaven over all the
affairs of mankind gave to Daniel the snapshot
of all the ages left for mankind, God says
this is all there will be to the end.
Jesus Gave Daniel a Strong Endorsement:
Daniel is the only Old Testament prophet Jesus calls by name (Mt. 24:15) when He explains the future—
in His long and detailed Olivet Prophetic Lesson
recorded in Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, & Luke 21.
