Daniel 11

Through an investigation of the hermeneutical and archeological evidence available, Yamauchi argues that there is little reason to doubt that Daniel should be attributed to the sixth century B.C. Archaeological Background The main idea of this article is to reason that the available archaeological evidence testifies to a sixth century dating of the book of Daniel.

Daniel’s 70 weeks lay out God’s plan for the nation, Israel (see Daniel 9:24-27). According to most scholars within both the Dispensational and Covenantal camps, the Messiah (Jesus) is cut off (crucified) after the 7 and 62 (7+62=69) weeks. These are weeks of years, not days. Dispensationalists teach a parenthesis (2000-year gap) between the 69th and 70th week, which becomes the church age of grace, essentially starting from Christ’s resurrection and extending all the way until the rapture of…

I must admit, I get a bit of a smirk every time I read this as I think of how Donald Trump blew a head gasket at the mere suggestion by Marco Rubio that he had small hands.

A horn represents a seat of power and authority in scripture (1 Samuel 2:1; 1 Samuel 16:1 1 Samuel 16:13 ; 1 Kings 1:39 ; 22:11 ; Joshua 6:4 Joshua 6:5 ; Psalms 75:5 Psalms 75:10…

Daniel had been morning the past three weeks and when he standing on the bank of the Tigris river he saw a man clothed in linen with eyes like flaming torches and saw a vision (Daniel 10:2-7). The men around Daniel could not see the man which possibly means he was an angel. When the angel spoke, Daniel fell to the ground and the angel said to him, “Daniel, greatly beloved, pay attention to the words that I am going to speak to you” (Daniel 10:11). Daniel stood up while the angel told him not to…

Daniel utilizes a new introductory formula in this verse to focus the attention of the reader to the climax of the visions of the beasts. From this group of ten horns, comes up “another horn, a little one” which displaced three other horns. This little horn had “eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Nothing specifically is said about the nature of what is being said, however, within the Bible’s wisdom literature, through the eyes or speech of a person, their…
