In The Days of These Kings

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand for ever (Daniel 2:44).. The overarching message of Daniel is that Jesus the Messiah is now ruling over the nations. He is the King of kings. Daniel tells us that Messiah’s kingdom will advance in the whole world from “generation to generation” (Daniel 4:434). Christ’s dominion is “given to the people of the saints of the most High” (Daniel 7:22). Our purpose then is to see “all people nations and languages … serve and obey him” (Daniel 7:1427).. This meticulously researched and thorough treatment of Daniel from a preterist perspective includes over 700 pages of commentary historical background and setting New Testament allusions and much more. It is enhanced with charts tables maps illustrations and topped off with helpful thorough indexes. — Kenneth L. Gentry Jr. Th.D.. This fascinating verse-by-verse explanation of the detailed historical fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecies is a helpful corrective to the speculative sci-fi fantasy scenarios of modern-day prophecy pundits. Rogers reveals Daniel’s context in relation to the other prophets of the Old Testament as well as Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and Revelation. He shows how it all fits perfectly together. This is exactly what I have been longing for in my own research. I’m telling all my readers to get this book. — Brian Godawa Best-selling author Chronicles of the Apocalypse. I am delighted to recommend a new commentary on the book of Daniel by my friend Jay Rogers. While I take issue with some of the conclusions he has arrived at in this difficult book I can honestly say that it is near the top of my list of recommendations. R.J. Rushdoony once said that there are four things liberals hate about Daniel:Daniel displays a sovereign God who cannot be manipulated and who destroys all who rebel against His Law-Word including civic rulers;it showcases predictive prophecy that is infallible and sure;it illustrates a comprehensive Providence that governs even the tiniest details of life and history;and it unapologetically presents the reality of miracles. You can judge an author by their attitude towards those four things in Daniel.Based on that criteria Jay Rogers stands head and shoulders above a crowd of commentaries on this book. He takes the inerrancy of Scripture and hermeneutics seriously submits to the New Testament’s interpretation of Daniel in a way that few evangelical commentaries do illustrates his interpretations quite well with history and shows how Daniel dovetails with the rest of Scripture. The reader will especially appreciate the historical background to passages that Jay provides. May this commentary receive a wide readership. — Phillip Kayser Biblical Blueprints. In respect to preterist studies of the Book of Daniel I count it a very good thing that we finally have a strong contemporary alternative to James B. Jordan’s 2007 volume. This work by Rogers is not slack in regard to meeting these challenges as it makes the preterist case. The historic research he presents is voluminous well-organized and easy to follow making the volume a very strong asset that materially advances the ongoing eschatological debate. By pointing us back to the strong discipline of the past Rogers puts our feet on firmer ground and gives subsequent generations a stronger foundation for further advancing our understanding of this key book of the Bible. — Martin Selbrede Vice-President Chalcedon Foundation. I was blown away! My father David Chilton covered the book of Revelation quite thoroughly and I have been wanting to read an exposition of the book of Daniel which was also written from a preterist perspective. — Nathan Chilton
