Most readers of the bible book of Daniel confine themselves to the inspiring stories in the first half. Those who go on to read the visions in the second half find them difficult to understand let alone reconcilable with the prophecies in the book of Revelation. This short commentary seeks to show that both goals are achievable. Not only that, it warns us that we may be living in the last thirty days of the church age. Only when we realise this will we truly appreciate the value of the stories in the first half.
