The Time of the End: Daniel’s Prophecy Reclaimed

The book explains carefully and soberly, following the principles set forth in Reformed hermeneutics, Daniel’s visions concerning the great world emperors who were to come in God’s plan of redemptive history. The five kingdoms are identified as (1) Babylon (2) Medo-Persia (3) Greece (4) Rome (5) Messianic Kingdom of God. Jay Adams and Milton Fisher do a sterling job in disclosing the meaning of the symbolism of Daniel. Their handling of the breakup of Alexander’s empire among his four leading generals is most noteworthy. They correctly render the symbolism of the “little horn” in Daniel 8 as referring to Antiochus Epiphanes of Syria.
