Agreed and such could be said about using other books as well - after all God reminds us with regard to His word as its Author that " all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching and setting things straight..."2 Timothy 3:16,17
Having an accurate understanding of Daniel, Revelation and all the books hinges on the firm conviction that this is indeed God's word, and that through His Holy Spirit one can have an accurate understanding of His will and purpose. This can only be accomplished fully if one is acting in harmony with God's requirements and is humble and willing to make adjustments in understanding as need be.(Matthew 7;John 17:3)
For instance,and in harmony with Matthew 6:9,10, Daniel revealed God's view of current and former governments and what the future holds for them.(Daniel 2:44)
Revelation as well speaks of the kings of the earth being gathered to Armageddon because they have continued and will continue to be against God.

AgreedI see a lot of people making hopelessly wrong statements about Revelation because they do not have a clue about the Book Of Daniel, and I mean this in the nicest possible way.
Daniel and Revelation interlock, and Revelation is the prophetic continuation of Daniel. That is why John is called 'the beloved disciple', because Our Lord was showing us that he is like Daniel, who was "greatly beloved" (Dan 9:23), a "man greatly beloved" (Dan10:19).
John wrote Revelation therefore because he is the prophetic successor of Daniel, just as John the Baptist succeeded Elijah.
We can understand Revelation to some extent without understanding Daniel, but it will be a limited understanding.
Blessings to all.
