    This is a companion book to the more detailed inductive study on Daniel published by Kay Arther and the Precept ministries. It is easy to read, but gives a lot of detailed instructions on how to study Daniel. The inductive approach has you break down each chapter by key words and themes and see what pattern emerges. I recommend this for people starting out a study of the book of Daniel. The full workbook is best for a more detailed study.

About the Author

GOD’S BLUEPRINT FOR BIBLE PROPHECY

HOW TO GET STARTED…

Reading directions is sometimes difficult and seldom enjoyable! Most often you just want to get started, and only if all else fails will you read the instructions. I understand, but please don’t approach this study that way! These brief instructions are a vital part of getting started on the right foot—they will help you immensely.

FIRST

As you study the book of Daniel, you will need four things in addition to this book:

1. A Bible that you are willing to mark in. An ideal Bible for this purpose is The New Inductive Study Bible (NISB). The NISB is in a single-column text format with large, easy-to-read type which is ideal for marking. Also, the margins of the text are wide for note-taking. (The charts and maps in this study guide are taken from the NISB.) The NISB has instructions for studying each book of the Bible, but does not contain commentary on the text, nor is it compiled from a particular theological stance. Its purpose is to teach you how to discern truth for yourself through the inductive method of study.

Whatever Bible you use, just know you will need to mark in it—marking is essential to our method of study.

2. A fine-point, four-color ballpoint pen or various colored fine-point pens that you can use to write in your Bible (office supply stores will have these).

3. Colored pencils or an eight-color Pentel pencil.

4. A composition book or a notebook for working on your assignments and recording your insights.

SECOND

1. As you study the book of Daniel, you will be given specific instructions for each day. These assignments should take you 25 to 30 minutes a day (but if you spend more time than this you will increase your intimacy with the Word of God and the God of the Word!).

If you are doing this study within the framework of a class and find the lessons too intense, simply do what you can. To do a little is better than to do nothing; don’t be all-or-nothing when it comes to Bible study.

Remember, any time you get into the Word of God you enter into more intensive warfare with the devil (our enemy). Why? Every piece of the Christian’s armor is related to the Word of God. And our main offensive weapon is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The enemy wants you to have a dull sword. But you don’t have to!

2. As you read each chapter, train yourself to ask the 5 W’s and an H: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Asking these questions will help you see exactly what the Word of God is saying. When you interrogate the text with the 5 W’s and an H, you ask questions like:

a. What is the chapter about?

b. Who are the main characters?

c. When does this event or teaching take place?

d. Where does this happen?

e. Why is this being done or said?

f. How did this happen?

in the margin of my Bible beside the verse where the time phrase occurs. You may also want to underline or color the references to time in one specific color.

4. You will be given certain key words to mark throughout the book of Daniel. This is the purpose of the colored pencils and pen. Developing the habit of marking your Bible in this way will make a significant difference in the effectiveness of your study and how much you remember.

A key word is an important word that is used by the author repeatedly in order to convey his message to his reader. Certain key words will show up throughout the book; others will be concentrated in specific chapters or segments of the book. When you mark a key word, you should also mark its synonyms (words that mean the same thing in the context) and pronouns (he, his, she, her, it, we, they, us, our, you, their, them) in the same way.

Marking words for easy identification can be done with colors or symbols or a combination of colors and symbols. However, colors are easier to distinguish than symbols. If I use symbols, I keep them very simple. For example, I color repent . The symbol conveys the meaning of
