For a time, W. W. Prescott lent his abilities in the support of the 1888 message. The articles that comprise this book, which covers the first seven chapters of Daniel, are possibly the finest result, and they are indeed excellent.
They were printed in the Present Truth magazine in 1900, while Waggoner was still the Editor, and he wrote the following glowing recommendation:
We know of nothing else published, which touches and makes clear the keynote of [the book of Daniel] as these articles do.
It’s a shame that Uriah Smith never caught the “1888 Message” flame, as his book on Daniel and the Revelation, while containing much historical information, is almost destitute of gospel teaching. By way of contrast, this book demonstrates how the gospel should be at the heart of all prophetic exposition. 225p
