I have to say, that's a great thread title. It seems like it could be the name of a '50s pulp serial story. But you're right--the Isaiah books and the Daniel book actually kinda pale in comparison to the old school books, but I would think those would be a sort of last hurrah in terms of attempting books of depth. Or not. Probably they were rehashing stuff from the Revelation book on some level anyway, right?
