About

By David Maas
This site is a teaching ministry of the Disciples Global Network designed to provide you with studies on the books of Daniel and Revelation. The goal is to understand each passage in its literary and historical contexts.

My name is David Maas. I have been a student of Scripture since shortly after my conversion in 1971. I am educated in the history and languages of the Bible. My special interest is prophetic passages, especially in Daniel and Revelation.
