Seven-headed dragons. Beasts rising up from the sea. Cryptic numbers like 666. Riddles like "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN." What's going on in Daniel and Revelation? Maybe you've tried to read these books, but you gave up because they seemed bizarre and difficult to understand. But we shouldn't avoid these vital parts of the Bible. They tell the powerful story of how God is in control of history, give us a glimpse into the worship that fills heaven and creation, and show God's people staying faithful through great trials. This guide will help you understand and appreciate Daniel and Revelation by grounding them in the times and places where they were written and explaining the special kind of writing they are.
