What do we do with all the strange content in Daniel and Revelation? Despite the disagreements over the details, one thing is clear: in the end, God wins. And that should give us hope. Are you looking for peace in tumultuous times? Learn how to read Daniel and Revelation in their original contexts and develop a deeper trust in our sovereign God when you understand the meaning and significance of the book’s message. Most importantly, discover how the prophet Daniel and the apostle John each lived faithfully as exiles in a hostile and threatening culture. Although there are many interpretations of these prophetic books, God asks us to trust Him and stay faithful even in the darkest times.

Daniel and Revelation contain some of the most thrilling and challenging passages in the entire Bible. Full of confusing metaphors, cataclysmic events, and bizarre creatures, they strike readers today as difficult to understand at best. But for their original audiences, Daniel and Revelation wouldn’t have seemed so cloudy. Instead, those readers would have heard promises and hope in each strange word.

In this booklet, scholars Tremper Longman III and Mark Strauss tackle the most challenging genre in the entire Bible: apocalypse. In the end, they’ll show how the message that the first readers would have received is the same for us today: When everything’s said and done, God will stand victorious.
