As I have previously stated; I am indebted to Jim Allen for his insight on this subject and for his two books on Revelation & Daniel.

References throughout this timeline to his work on Revelation and Daniel is with profound gratitude and recognition of his dedication to the study of these books.

I recommend the following books and outline by J Allen:

DANIEL RECONSIDERED – J Allen - Published by: STL

Daniel 7

REVELATION – J Allen

Published by: Ritchie New Testament Commentaries – ‘What the Bible teaches’ series.

I have no hesitation in describing both of these books as being meticulously academic in their scope and at the same time the author has been scrupulously fair in the treatment of alternative views at every opportunity.
