| | Daniel, Book of (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net |
 | | This book is ranked by the Jews in that division of their Bible called the Hagiographa (Hebrew: Khethubim). | | | Daniel is "the historian of the Captivity, the writer who alone furnishes any series of events for that dark and dismal period during which the harp of Israel hung on the trees that grew by the Euphrates. | | | 2:4; 7) are written in the Chaldee language; and the portions written in Hebrew are in a style and form having a close affinity with the later books of the Old Testament, especially with that of Ezra. |

| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - DANIEL, BOOK OF |
| | The Book of Daniel was written during the persecutions of Israel by the Syrian king Antiochus Epiphanes. | | | This shows that the author was merely a disciple of the Prophets, one who reproduced the prophecies of his masters. | | | The book, however, may have included originally only i.-vii., an assumption that would explain the following three circumstances: the dropping of the Aramaic; the formula "Hitherto is the end of the matter" (vii. |

| | THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES (OLD TESTAMENT) |
| | This book is one of the most important sections of the Hebrew Scriptures because of the prophecies based on 4 earthly kingdoms. | | | Daniel 11:31 (and elsewhere) refers to "the abominable thing that causes desolation." This appears to refer to the erection of a statue of Zeus in the Jerusalem temple in 167 BCE, and would indicate that the book was written later than that date. | | | The author(s) of the book of Daniel, apparently writing about 166 CE, was unable to predict his future. |

| | Overview of the Book of Daniel |
| | The book of Daniel shows the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews, the future destruction of Jerusalem, the reign of antichrist, and the coming triumphant Messiah who is given an everlasting Kingdom by God. | | | The book is organized very logically once the context and purpose of the book are known. | | | The world empires described in Daniel are all kingdoms that encompass the land of Israel. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Book of Daniel |
| | Not satisfied with the merely negative inference that the Book of Daniel was not composed during the Captivity, the opponents of the Danielic authorship strive to reach a positive conclusion as to the date of its origin. | | | The third is that of some Fathers of the Church and some recent theologians who understand the prophecy in an eschatological sense, as a prediction of the development of the Kingdom of God from the end of the Exile to the fulfilment of that kingdom at Christ's second Advent. | | | The version of the proto-canonical portions of the Book of Daniel in the Latin Vulgate is St. Jerome's rendering from practically the same Hebrew and Aramaic text as is found in the current Hebrew Bibles. |

| | Also, the Book of Daniel served as a model for the writers of the New Testament Book of Revelation as well as for the "Olivet Discourse" found in the 24th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. | | | Daniel 3:27 ~ And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. | | | The Jewish religion was outlawed, Jewish scripture was forbidden, and unclean swine were sacrificed to the Greek god, Zeus, on the alter of the Jerusalem temple. |

| | Daniel Introduction |
| | Daniel asks certain questions of the angel who has revealed this to him, and then he is given to understand two great principles that are at work in human life. | | | The book records in these first six chapters the pressure they underwent as they stood for their faith in the midst of these difficult surroundings. | | | The first six chapters are a history of the prophet Daniel himself and his friends in the land of Babylon---men of faith in a hostile world. |

| | That is to say, the fulfillment of the vision of Daniel took place in the year A.D. 1844, and this is the year of the Bab's manifestation according to the actual text of the Book of Daniel. | | | But in the twenty-fifth verse of the ninth chapter of the Book of Daniel this is expressed in another manner, as seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and apparently this differs from the first saying. | | | Now we must prove from the Holy Books that these two Manifestations have come, and we must divine the meaning of the words of the Prophets, for we wish for proofs drawn from the Holy Books. |

| | Book of Daniel defended |
| | Outside of the Pentateuch, no book of the OT has been subjected to as much scrutiny as the Book of Daniel. | | | It is countered that this was not the OT Daniel that Zeke refers to, but rather a pagan wise man of mythology. | | | In Daniel 6:8 the writer says "in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed." This would not make any sense by saying the king would be bound by the laws of the Persians as well unless they were a composite empire. |

| | The Date of the Book of Daniel |
| | Since certain prophecies in the book of Daniel seem to have their fulfillment in Antiochus IV Epiphanes and since some people have a presuppositional bias against predictive prophecy [Eissfeldt, 520] they believe that the book of Daniel must have been written at the time of the Antiochus, roughly 164 B.C. to 169/7 B.C.. | | | In terms of angels Zechariah (1:9, 14, 19; 2:3; 3:1-3; 4:4-6, 11-14; 5:5-11; 6:4-8) is the closest to that of Daniel (8:16; 9:21; 10: [note that verse 5-6 "are probably the most-detailed description in Scripture of the appearance of an angel." Archer (1985): 123]13, 21; 12:1). | | | It has been inferred from this, that they believed that it was composed a considerable time after the other prophetic books, and that they did not deem it worthy of a place among their prophetic books in general. |

| | USCCB - NAB - Daniel - Introduction |
| | The arrival of the kingdom is a central theme of the synoptic gospels, and Jesus, in calling himself the "Son of Man," reminds us that he fulfills the destiny of this mysterious figure in the seventh chapter of Daniel. | | | Under this apocalyptic imagery are contained some of the best elements of prophetic teaching: the insistence on right conduct, the divine control over events, the certainty that the kingdom of God will ultimately triumph. | | | The Book contains stories originating in and transmitted by popular traditions which tell of the trials and triumphs of the wise Daniel and his three companions. |
