| Book of Daniel | ||
|
Written from Babylon and Shushan about 606 or 616 B.C. to 536 B.C. The book reveals prophecies of the Gentile world kingdoms from Daniel's day to the Millennium and eternal kingdom of God on earth (Daniel 2:38-45; Daniel 7:17-27; Daniel 8:20-25; Daniel 9:24-27; Daniel 11:40-12:13). Daniel also records the history of Babylon and Medo-Persia under Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:1-4:37), Belshazzar (Daniel 5:1-31; Daniel 7:1; Daniel 8:1), Darius the Mede (Daniel 6:1-28; Daniel 9:1), and Cyrus the Persian (Daniel 10:1-11:1). The universal theory that the book of Daniel covers the whole length of the times of the Gentiles is false. Daniel saw these times as happening from his day on, but that does not prove their entire length was predicted by him. He only saw the world kingdoms that were to oppress Israel from his day to the setting up of God's kingdom on earth. He could not predict the history of the oppression of Israel by the Egyptians and Assyrians before his day. |
