Exactly. I also think long winded posts and documents can hide all kinds of lies and deceit. Let your yes be yes and no be no.

You people are forgetting that this was the style of the Biblical writers especially the writers of Daniel and Revelation who could conceal many such things as you refer,  in their ambiguous predictions. But at least the…[Read more]

Median dynasty
The list of Median rulers and their period of reign is compiled according to two sources. Firstly, Herodotus who calls them “kings” and associates them with the same family. Secondly, the Babylonian Chronicle which in “Gadd’s Chronicle on the Fall of Nineveh” gives its own list. A combined list stretching over 150 years is…[Read more]

Hi Gadam

Prophecy does not separate the Medes from the Persians

And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

The problem is your posts are so long that you can never find anything and most will not read them.

A conversation is easier to follow than a series of essays.

So I will assume that you have no smoking gun evidence for what you say.

But if you do, feel free to make a post about it.

Keep the post on that subject and maybe put a heading 2 as the…

What is your no1 reason for believing that the Book of Daniel doesn’t couple Media and Persia as one empire and metal (even though it does)?

I have already posted on this on your another thread which is more relevant for this question.

What is the no1 proof you have according to you?

Please go through my same post for your no 1 query…..

The following are observations on the textual variations in the book of Daniel;

1. Dan 5:28 peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

Here the first editorial appears

Whereas

Dan 5:30 That very night Belshazzar, the Chaldean king, was killed. 31  And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years o…[Read more]

The Four Kingdoms Sequence

The concept of dividing the world into a sequence of four eras, and even associating those eras with four metals, did not originate with the book of Daniel.

In the post-exilic period we find at least one Israelite text specifically using the same four metals in the same order for poetic or symbolic value:

Instead of…[Read more]

I just want to add few findings through my research on the book of Daniel;

1. The book was written by a Pseudo writer at the time of Antiochene crisis in the Second Century BCE.

2. This writer was not aware of the history of 6 & 5th BCE. The proof is the  fictitious king of Media Darius.

3. He wanted to show four world empires through the…[Read more]

Are you silly? The Roman Empire didn’t exist yet. Lol. You might need to revise your history.

I am sorry brother it seems you are ignorant that the Greece Kingdom which also was future to so the called Biblical character Daniel.

Faking a History and Pretending It’s Real

To illustrate, consider the apologetic attempted at Bible Gateway, which consists of an attempt to “invent” a history of Persia (actually, more than one, so you can pick and choose I guess) that exists nowhere in the sources, and which consists largely of outright ignoring contrary facts:

Darius the Me…

Please show me at least one reference to Rome in whole of Daniel as a world kingdom as you repeatedly stick to your traditional view. I have shown you plenty to prove Greece as the fourth kingdom. The writer of Daniel never dreamed of Rome or future kingdoms like Ottoman….

The four beasts of Daniel 7

Daniel recounts, ‘The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.’

The winged lion is familiar in Babyl…[Read more]

Please check my latest post for clarity on this.

Here is another Christian interpretation of Dan 2 image.

The image of Daniel 2

The image has a head of gold, and Daniel interprets it as follows: ‘You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the b…[Read more]
