I want to share a stunning discovery today that drives a nail in the coffin of one of the most persistent attacks against Bible prophecy. For almost 1,700 years, since a pagan philosopher named Porphyry in the 3rd century AD, many scholars have claimed the Book of Daniel was written after the events it “predicts” already happened. They call this ex eventu or “after the fact,” claiming Daniel is really history masquerading as prophecy.
This matters enormously because Daniel is the key prophetic book in the Old Testament—often called the Old Testament Book of Revelation. But researchers using AI machine learning called “Enoch” have conclusively dated a Dead Sea Scroll copy of Daniel (manuscript 4Q114) to be at least 100 years earlier than previously believed—placing it firmly in the 3rd century BC. This means Daniel couldn’t possibly have been written in the 2nd century BC as skeptics have claimed, since we now have copies existing before those events even occurred! This powerfully supports the traditional 530 BC date when Daniel himself wrote it in Babylon. Most importantly, Jesus Himself confirmed Daniel’s authorship in Matthew 24:15, which should settle the issue for all believers.

Whats Next? Iran Goes Nuclear
What's Next? Iran Goes Nuclear, written by Jimmy Evans and myself a few months before the recent escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran, demonstrates how current events continue to align with Bible prophecy. The book provides crucial historical context about Iran's development and examines how Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and direct attacks on Israel fulfill Bible prophecies about the End Times. We explore how these developments, combined with Iran's strategic alliances with Russia and other nations, are positioning the world for the Gog-Magog invasion described in Ezekiel 38-39. This book takes a look at Iran's apocalyptic ideology and reveals what the Bible says about Iran's prophetic role in the events leading to Christ's return.
The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed
This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God's prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What's particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel's restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.
The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ's Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God's unfolding plan.
