Description: The Handwriting on the Wall takes a Covenant Historical Approach to interpreting the imagery of God's prophecies revealed to Daniel. The prophecies of Daniel deal with the events in the Covenantal Era that were dawning in Daniel's lifetime: the Restoration Era after the exile and the return of God's people back to the land, city, and temple. There are no "historical parentheses" or "gaps," no leaps of thousands of years into the future. Nor is the book of Daniel concerned about predicting the course of European church history after the apostolic age and into our time. The Handwriting on the Wall sees the fulfillment as relatively "near" to the time when Daniel was written.

This book comes with a CD-ROM containing PDF files. The contents include the complete text of The Handwriting on the Wall plus the following bonus material: James Farquharson's Daniel's Last Vision and Prophecy.
 
While we are not in agreement with some of Jordan's theology, we think if you use discernment there is much to be gleaned here.

 Monergism Review: It is agreed that the nature of Jordan's theology is not always agreeable, being hard to comprehend from scripture. However, as a commentator he remains one of the best. His work on Daniel will inevitably become a standard. The content is challenging and never too complex so as to leave the reader in confusion. Even though one might not agree with all of Jordan's conclusions, his arguments will never be dismissed without a fight. This is a vast work that will provoke much thought and appreciation in its readers. In my opinion Jordan's refutation of the dispensational interpretation is enough to establish the work as necessary. No matter how wrong Jordan is, he is (almost) always more right than the dispensationalist. Jordan adds to the wealth of literature on Daniel, but not in a disappointing fashion. One must always read discerningly and it is no different with Jordan. In the end the content disagreed with in the commentary will not be as much as the content agreed with in the commentary. With all theological disagreement aside, this is a must own commentary on Daniel!
