Daniel Verse by Verse Commentary by Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Introduction and Overview:

Daniel: Verse by Verse Commentary by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is a comprehensive expository work that explores the biblical Book of Daniel. The commentary is divided into two major sections: the historical narratives of chapters 1-6 and the apocalyptic prophecies of chapters 7-12. Dr. Shimba skillfully combines historical analysis, theological insights, and spiritual lessons, providing a deeper understanding of Daniel’s life, faith, and prophetic visions.

Historical Context and Faithfulness:

The commentary begins by establishing the historical context of the Babylonian exile, where Daniel and his companions are taken captive. Dr. Shimba highlights Daniel’s unwavering faith and integrity in a foreign land. Key events such as Daniel’s dietary resolve, his interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams, and the miraculous deliverance from the lion’s den illustrate the power of steadfast belief in God.

Prophetic Dreams and Interpretations:

A central focus of the commentary is the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams, particularly the statue of mixed materials symbolizing successive world empires. Dr. Shimba explains how Daniel’s prophetic insights reveal God’s control over human history. The fall of Babylon, foretold by the mysterious writing on the wall, underscores the inevitable judgment upon earthly powers that defy God.

Spiritual Warfare and Divine Intervention:

Dr. Shimba delves into the spiritual warfare depicted in Daniel 10, where an angel reveals being delayed by a demonic force. He emphasizes that spiritual struggles occur beyond human perception, with divine forces intervening on behalf of God’s people. This perspective highlights prayer as a powerful tool in spiritual battles.

Apocalyptic Visions and Symbolism:

The apocalyptic section explores Daniel’s symbolic visions of the four beasts, the ram and goat, and the seventy-week prophecy. Dr. Shimba connects these symbols to historical empires such as Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome while offering interpretations that point to future eschatological events and the coming of God’s eternal kingdom.

Theological and Moral Insights:

Throughout the commentary, Dr. Shimba emphasizes theological principles such as God’s sovereignty, human responsibility, and divine justice. He underscores the moral integrity of Daniel and his friends, presenting them as models of faith, courage, and obedience in a hostile world. Their lives exemplify how trust in God leads to wisdom, protection, and divine favor.
