The book of Daniel contains some of the most important and best-known prophetic information about the end times—the rise and fall of the Antichrist, the persecution and victory of the saints, the role of Israel and the Church, and the Battle of Armageddon—as well as a vivid description of Jesus as the Son of Man, who will confront and remove all oppression and wickedness as He rules the nations in righteousness in partnership with His people.
