DANIEL: A Historical-Grammatical Exegetical Commentary on Prophecy, Empire, and Divine Sovereignty

Written from within the realities of exile and empire, Daniel is neither a collection of moral tales nor a speculative roadmap for modern events. It is a unified prophetic revelation declaring that the Most High rules over kings, kingdoms, and history itself. In this commentary, Edward D. Andrews approaches Daniel through strict historical-grammatical exegesis, allowing the inspired Hebrew and Aramaic text to govern interpretation without allegory, sensationalism, or modern critical reconstruction.

Each chapter is examined in its historical setting, grammatical structure, and canonical context, demonstrating how Daniel’s court narratives and apocalyptic visions form a single message: human empires are temporary, divine authority is absolute, and covenant faithfulness is required under pressure. Special attention is given to major prophetic passages, including the succession of world powers, the seventy weeks, the abomination causing desolation, and the resurrection hope at the time of the end.

Clear, reverent, and uncompromisingly textual, this commentary equips readers to understand Daniel as revealed history—prophecy grounded in God’s sovereignty rather than human speculation—calling the faithful to endurance, discernment, and confidence in the kingdom that will never pass away.
