This little book explores one of the most easily understood prophecies found in the Scriptures. It covers nearly 2600 years of history in absolute accuracy, and as one commentator has stated: "Human wisdom has never devised so brief a record that embraced so much. Human language never set forth in so few words such a great volume of historical truth. The finger of God is here. Let us heed the lesson well." Smith, The Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation, p. 39.
