Place in the Canon:Daniel plays a significant role in our understanding of end times. However, as we seek to understand end times issues, it is more important to get the central message right than to be certain about every little detail. The central message is that God is in control and that he will bring about the kingdom of Christ in his time and in his way and when he does, he can’t be stopped.
