Here is an Import summary of the prophecies by a prolific Seventh Day Adventist writer.
The book of Daniel was written during the sixth century B.C. Daniel, the author, was a Hebrew youth who was carried captive to Babylon, where he became an advisor and prime minister to the king.
Daniel was not only the greatest statesman of his time; he was also a prophet. His book contains four great lines of prophecy about the history of nations from his time to ours.
To grasp the theme of his prophecies, one needs to know something about the circumstances of the Jewish nation at the time Daniel wrote his book. When he was about eighteen ears of age, the armies of Babylon came against the little nation
called Judea, the land of God's chosen people. In three successive invasions, beginning in 605 B.C., God's chosen nation lost four things vital to its existence:
Daniel was one of the captives. Although this wise young man rose to become a leading statesman in the great Babylonian Empire, he could not forget the condition of his people. Along with ever true-blooded Hebrew, he longed for the restoration
of all that had been lost in the Babylonian conquest. Under divine inspiration Daniel penned the greatest and most accurate history of the world ever written. The astonishing thing is that he wrote the history before it happened. We call it prophecy
-history in advance. But the whole point of Daniel's history is to show when the restoration of Israel' would take place-the restoration of the kingdom, the king, the sanctuary and the people .
In his four prophecies of world history, Daniel wrote about the fourfold restoration in the following order: First prophecy -Restoration of the kingdom (Daniel 2). Second prophecy -Restoration of the King (Daniel 7). Third prophecy -Restoration of the sanctuary (Daniel 8). Fourth prophecy -Restoration of the people (Daniel 10-12).
In the following pages these prophecies are reproduced from the Authorized Version of the Bible.
As with the prophecies of Daniel, Revelation is divided into four distinct prophetic sections:
In carrying forward His purpose, the church is God's instrument and weapons of war (Zech. 9 :12-15 .) All history moves forward to the time when God's instrument of conquest will be ready for the last great battle.

- It lost its kingdom.
- It lost its king.
- It lost its sanctuary, or house of worship.
- It lost its people, who were taken as captives to a foreign land.

As with the prophecies of Daniel, Revelation is divided into four distinct prophetic sections:
- The seven churches (chapters 1-3),
- The seven seals (chapters 4-8 : 1),
- The seven trumpets (chapters 8-11), and
- The conflict between the dragon and the Lamb (chapters 12-20).
In carrying forward His purpose, the church is God's instrument and weapons of war (Zech. 9 :12-15 .) All history moves forward to the time when God's instrument of conquest will be ready for the last great battle.
