Articles of commentary on the prophetic book of Daniel.
Transcribed with AI, edited by a human Well, continuing on with our discussion of the prophecy of Daniel, I wanted to discuss Michael, the archangel. And the reason being is because he's only mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures in the Book of Daniel, except he's not called the archangel. And, the main reason I wanted to discuss this is because I've been having a Bible [...]
AI-produced transcript In the previous video, the first of this series on the Book of Daniel, we discussed the dream that Nebuchadnezzar had and how Daniel came in to interpret the king's dream and explain to him the meaning of it. And I put forward the notion that the image represents the last king. Now, it's odd that, you know, the Watch Tower has interpreted the dream [...]
A video transcript The apostle Paul urged the Corinthians to keep their priorities in order, no matter whatever situation they found themselves, married, unmarried, rich, or poor, so as not to be so absorbed in human affairs. And why not? Because, as the apostle stated, “the scene of this world is changing.” That axiom is more relevant now than ever before. Just in the span [...]
Three years ago the Watchtower revised their interpretation of the fascinating prophecy of Daniel regarding the kings of the north and south. While providing considerable insight into the historical developments from Alexander the Great to Jesus Christ, incredibly, the Watchtower now claims that there was no king of the north or south for nearly 2,000 years! The prophetic kings supposedly only reappeared when [...]
America has always been touted as the land of the free. The Statue of Liberty is an icon recognized around the world. America smashed the yoke of slavery it inherited from the British colonial masters in a brutal Civil War.

A reader has emailed me a series of questions concerning specific verses in the 11th chapter of Daniel. Dan. 11:21 Who is the “despised one”? The Watchtower explains that it was Tiberius Caesar. He was ruling during Jesus’ ministry. I think that is about the point where they lost the plot, as the saying goes. Dan. 11:23 Who / what is this “little nation”? In the [...]
Part four In the aftermath of the Second World War the British Empire immediately went to work to destroy the alliance between the United States and Russia that had formed as a result of the Nazi invasion of the USSR; hence, Winston Churchill, the former British prime minister, came to Fulton Missouri in 1946 and proclaimed the Iron Curtain had fallen on half of Europe. No [...]
This is a revised update of the previous article posted in 2008, originally entitled A King Fierce in Countenance In connection with the book of Daniel, the prophet was told by Jehovah's enlightening angel: "And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of the end. Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant." Contrary to [...]
This is part three of the review of the second study article on the king of the north Builders know that having a proper foundation is essential in any sort of construction project. If the foundation is faulty the structure will not last. Jesus used this concept in an illustration to conclude his Sermon on the Mount, saying: “Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of [...]
How did we arrive at this point in history? What past events have brought the world to the present state at this moment in time? God has allowed for the temporary provision of human governments in various forms even though these have been dominated by greedy, short-sighted, and oftentimes tyrannical men.
