Product Description
"Bible Symbols Decoded: An Historicist View of Daniel and Revelation" is a meticulously detailed analysis of the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. As Daniel is often assumed by Bible scholars to be prophetic, not just about Daniel’s present but about the future of the Church as well, and most of Revelation seems to deal with predictions and discussion of the events that will end the world as we know it, Deroy L. Hanson compares and contrasts the two books in a scholarly attempt to discern what we are meant to know about the end times. He explains the various doctrinal divisions that exist in the eschatological arena and discusses how the different viewpoints dissect and interpret the prophecies contained in these books. The two main schools of thought, the Futurist school and the Historicist school, hold opposing views: the Futurists believe that most of the prophecy in Revelation will be fulfilled during the Great Tribulation, following the Rapture of the Church by Jesus Christ; the Historicists believe that most of Revelation has already been fulfilled, concluding that it seems unreasonable to suppose that a major portion of Biblical prophecy must wait for fulfillment until after the Rapture of the Church. Hanson thoroughly explores both sides, explaining clearly and with copious Biblical references his suppositions and conclusions. Supported by detailed timelines and calendars, and a comprehensive explanation of the symbolism found in both Daniel and Revelation, Hanson presents in his book an educated, in-depth discussion of the end times as portrayed in the Bible.

Many of the things I have been taught about the tribulation, number of the beast, rapture and the end times have been reshaped by reading this book. It is so detailed that it can be overwhelming to take it all in but it is well worth taking the time to study. Many of the of the events that are associated with the end times have actually already taken place. This book shows specific hostorical events that are clearly spelled out in prophecy. I strongly recommend this book. It is not a casual read. It is work to take it all in but it has a great pay off.
