Knoch\u2019s Concordant Studies in the Book of Daniel is an in-depth study of the prophecies in Daniel, grounded in the concordant method of biblical word analysis. Knoch selects consistent English renderings for key Hebrew and Aramaic terms and translates the biblical text with these choices. He then applies the same renderings consistently in his interpretation of the text. Thus, while the reader is engaging with English, they remain firmly within the framework of the original biblical languages, gaining a clear understanding of prophetic visions, historical events, and eschatological themes. Placing strong emphasis on a literal and concordant approach in nearly every case, Knoch highlights Daniel\u2019s message concerning the rise and fall of empires, the prophecy of the seventy weeks, and end-time scenarios. This volume forms part of Knoch\u2019s broader effort to translate the biblical text into English in a systematic and concordant way, and to uncover the meaning embedded within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c61e815 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--superbspacing-small);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--superbspacing-small)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-featured-color has-text-color has-link-color has-superbfont-xsmall-font-size wp-elements-5f302139af78ce9cb8f01c32abe0e14f\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3d9d4342 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bibleinfo.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/125.-A.-E.-Knoch.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color has-mono-3-border-color wp-image-860\" style=\"border-width:1px;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-mono-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-superbfont-xsmall-font-size wp-elements-ff387939ecc6a3b39e41f76201dcc4d7\">A.

Knoch\u2019s <em>Concordant Studies in the Book of Revelation<\/em> follows the concordant methodology, aiming first and foremost to render the Greek words of Revelation literally, consistently, and precisely across the entire Scriptures. In seeking to discern the meaning of the Apocalypse, Knoch places particular emphasis on its connections with the Hebrew Scriptures, especially the Book of Daniel. Rather than viewing Revelation too readily as symbolic or allegorical, he presents it as an exact prophecy that reveals God\u2019s administrative plan (<em>oikonomia<\/em>, Gr.) for Israel, the nations, and the ecclesia. He underscores that throughout the succession of the \u201ceons\u201d\u2014distinct periods of God\u2019s administration\u2014God\u2019s judgments, resurrections, and opportunities for life are progressively extended to all people. At the same time, he critiques traditional Christian interpretations, arguing that they have often been shaped more by theological traditions and presuppositions than by the linguistic consistency of the text, and that such inherited readings continue to be reproduced without sufficient regard for the concordant principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8c61e815 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--superbspacing-small);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--superbspacing-small)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-featured-color has-text-color has-link-color has-superbfont-xsmall-font-size wp-elements-5f302139af78ce9cb8f01c32abe0e14f\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3d9d4342 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bibleinfo.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/125.-A.-E.-Knoch.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color has-mono-3-border-color wp-image-860\" style=\"border-width:1px;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-mono-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-superbfont-xsmall-font-size wp-elements-ff387939ecc6a3b39e41f76201dcc4d7\">A.
