Daniel & Revelation Juxtaposed

"The book of Daniel is a history of the ruling of the Most High
among the kingdoms of men; the book of Revelation is a history of the ruling of the Most High in the church.  

Daniel is national history;  

Revelation is church history.

In Revelation there are some kingdoms dealt with, national powers, but they come in subordinate to the church history. In Daniel there is some church history; but it is subordinate to the great subject of national powers.

Revelation 1 [RSV]

⁹ I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet

¹¹ Saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches.

What does the word “seven” signify?—Fullness; completeness; all there is of a subject. Then, first, as we come to study the book of Revelation, it is a study of the different phases, or conditions, of the church of God from that time on till the close." A.T. Jones
