What other books must be cross-referenced when studying Daniel or Revelation?
When studying Daniel, one must cross-reference Revelation, Matthew 24, and Matthew 25; when studying Revelation, one must cross-reference Daniel. These passages share symbolic language and visions, so this reciprocal study requires repetition, which reinforces learning and helps the prophetic material soak in.
Les teaches that when studying Daniel, you have to look at Revelation, as well as Matthew 24 and 25, and vice versa. If studying Revelation, you just have to go back to Daniel. This mandates a lot of repetition, but as Les has learned over the years, repetition is the mother of learning, and that is how it finally soaks in. In the context, he is in Revelation 13 and then directs listeners to keep their hand in Revelation while going back to Daniel chapter 7, where Daniel describes a vision looking forward to coming historical events and uses practically the same language.
