Eschatology Unveiled: Daniel and Revelation Compared

📖 Introduction

Welcome to a transformative 7-day study journey where we examine the profound and mysterious theme of eschatology—God’s revealed plan for the end times—as presented in the books of Daniel and Revelation. These two prophetic books, one from the Old Testament and the other from the New, serve as twin pillars that frame the biblical narrative about the final unfolding of history and God's ultimate victory.

The book of Daniel introduces us to apocalyptic visions rich with symbolic images: beasts, horns, statues, and angelic interpreters, revealing kingdoms that rise and fall, and the eventual eternal kingdom established by God. Daniel’s dreams were given during times of great turmoil, encouraging God’s people to remain faithful amid persecution.

Fast forward to the book of Revelation, written by the apostle John, we see these themes expanded with vivid, dramatic imagery depicting the cosmic battle between good and evil, the return of Christ, judgment, and the creation of a new heaven and new earth. John’s visions complement and amplify Daniel’s themes, offering hope and assurance to believers living in challenging circumstances.

Together, Daniel and Revelation provide a cohesive, divine panorama of eschatology, helping us grasp the certainty of God’s sovereignty and faithfulness. This study plan will guide you through key passages, drawing parallels to deepen your understanding and faith as you contemplate the ultimate hope we have in God’s redemptive plan.
