Daniel the Beloved of Jehovah by R.E. Streeter is a comprehensive biblical commentary on the life, faith, and prophetic ministry of Daniel, set against the backdrop of Israel’s Babylonian captivity. It blends historical research, scriptural exposition, and prophetic interpretation, aiming to show how Daniel’s experiences reveal God’s sovereignty, prophetic accuracy, and the ultimate triumph of divine purpose.
The book opens with a historical framework, anchoring Daniel’s life in the reign of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. It references precise chronological data—such as the date of Babylon’s rise in 747 B.C.—to align biblical events with known world history. Streeter reviews the succession of Babylonian and Persian rulers, showing how their reigns fulfilled earlier biblical prophecies. The early chapters highlight Babylon’s cultural and political dominance, its pagan influences, and the challenges faced by faithful Jews in exile.
A central theme is Daniel’s unwavering integrity and devotion to Jehovah despite foreign captivity, political intrigue, and personal risk. Streeter portrays Daniel as a man of prayer, wisdom, and moral courage who consistently prioritizes God’s will over personal safety or favor with kings. The author draws lessons from Daniel’s dietary resolve, his fearless interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams, and his loyalty under Darius’ decree forbidding prayer.
Much of the book is devoted to explaining Daniel’s role as an interpreter of divine mysteries. Streeter analyzes major prophetic visions:
Nebuchadnezzar’s Image Dream (Daniel 2) – Interpreted as a symbolic timeline of world empires from Babylon to the final divine kingdom.
The Four Beasts (Daniel 7) – Representing successive empires, culminating in God’s eternal rule.
The Ram and the Goat (Daniel 8) – Linked to Medo-Persian and Grecian powers, with detailed historical fulfillment.
The Seventy Weeks Prophecy (Daniel 9) – Interpreted messianically, pointing to the coming of Christ.
The commentary emphasizes the harmony between Daniel’s prophecies and later Revelation visions, framing them as complementary messages about God’s ultimate plan.
Streeter frequently draws parallels between Daniel’s visions and New Testament prophecy, especially the Book of Revelation. The latter chapters stress that Daniel’s “sealed” prophecies are now increasingly understood in the “time of the end.” Events such as global unrest, political realignments, and spiritual awakenings are viewed as indicators of prophetic fulfillment and the soon-establishment of God’s kingdom.
The work is not merely academic—it encourages readers to emulate Daniel’s steadfastness, prayer life, humility, and faith in God’s promises. Streeter presents Daniel as an example of how believers can navigate moral challenges in a hostile world without compromise.
The final sections present Daniel’s message as a call to faith, endurance, and hope. Streeter closes by reaffirming that the God who delivered Daniel from lions and preserved his integrity in a corrupt court is the same God guiding history today. The prophetic timeline assures believers that despite current turmoil, God’s kingdom will soon replace all human rule.
