B171, B172 The Apocalypse and the Book of Daniel
This up-to-the-minute, verse-by-verse exposition of these two closely related prophetic books
is one of the most popular and exciting courses in our entire Theology department. The
enlightening and thoroughly studied presentations more than satisfy the craving for
knowledge of end-time events so common among Christians today. Even the more difficult
areas in this most challenging field of study are understood as the themes are carefully,
analytically, and progressively laid out in detail for the student. Of course, all of the major
prophetic themes of the book are covered in depth, thus providing a challenge to the serious
student. Some of the more intriguing topics covered are: the seven church ages; the prophetic
events yet to be fulfilled; the woman and her manchild and remnant; the coming world
government; the name, number, and mark of the beast; the deadly wound to the beast’s
seventh head; the eighth beast; the ten kings which have no kingdom as yet; the false prophet;
the destruction of the harlot church; the two witnesses; the 144,000; the “little season”, the
millennium; and the New Jerusalem on the new earth.
A central theme throughout the class is the personal revelation of Jesus Christ Himself, as
eternal God and glorified man. In our generation, which is witnessing the closing events of the
church age, a firm grasp of this knowledge is essential. Students are fed the vital facts about
events in which they will participate and are also given practical truths and the timely
exhortations found in these two books. 6 credits. Prerequisite: two semesters.
