Ezekiel too mentions a prophecy against the king of Tyre, which was by culture Canaanite. Ezekiel 28 Ezekiel then mentions how Danel, Noah, and Job are unable to save their son or daughter. Which in the Aqhat Epic, Danel loses his son. In regards to the archaeology and historical references also supporting Daniel there are questions from the book itself.
Daniel in the Lion's Den - Bible Story Verses & Meaning
Daniel lists Nebuchadnezzar as the father of Belshazzar, but there is no good evidence for this but there is evidence for Nabonidus as his father. And how do you account that the Medes were already conquered by Cyrus the Great roughly ten years prior? Or that the author shoehorns this Median empire between the Babylonian and Persian Empires? Why does the book of Daniel vary so much historically from story or story? Again Dairus the Mede is stated to be an independent ruler despite a lack of awareness that the empire that destroyed Babylon was comprised of both Medes and Persians.
For that matter, why does Daniel get the death of Antiochus Epiphanes or for that matter almost everything after the Maccabean Revolt completely wrong? And the context says that idolatry is anything but righteous in the eyes of Yahweh. Ezekiel 8 condemns Jerusalem for idolatry in the temple.
Turn from your idols and renounce your detestable practices! And one is to seriously believe Ezekiel would then turn around in the next section and call Danel, a Canaanite idolater, righteous? These were the same people whom God had the Israelites drive out of the Promised Land because of their idolatrous evils. It is absurd to think that God would declare judgment upon unfaithful nations to include Judah and then use an unfaithful idolater as an example of righteousness.

What makes far more sense is that Ezekiel was speaking of Daniel in Chapters 14 and None of these men were idolaters and are great examples of righteousness for the Jewish people. As the Rashi Commentary of the eleventh century points out which treats the third member of this list as the prophet Daniel , all three of these individuals are also related in that they all went through extreme trials of faith and potential judgment and were rewarded for their faithfulness to Yahweh. Danel was a Baal-following Canaanite—not the bastion of faithfulness to Yahweh.
There is no one else in the entire Bible who is labeled righteous as an idolater. Thanks for the lead-in questions, though. An Exegetical and Theological Exposition of Holy Scripture by Stephen Miller for a verse by verse play by play of these prophecies with historical references. It also gets plenty more in depth into many of these other objections.
Daniel is quite well defended.

More into this next time, though. Until then, take care! Just touching base with you again as promised. I will be coming back around to Daniel again in my next post. There is one item on your extensive list of questions that I will go ahead and answer here. What is Daniel 9 getting at, and how is it different? So, yes, first of all in Daniel 9: Gabriel actually affirms it. First, Gabriel tells Daniel what will happen by the end of the Seventy Sevens: Nowhere in here does Gabriel imply that God would not keep his promise to let the Jews go free to return home.
Second, in the very next verse, Gabriel in fact affirms that Jerusalem would be rebuilt meaning an end to this desolation. Which was the point. No parents, no brother, no community, no ship. Selfishness only got him so far, so he wants to go out in one noble act.
Daniel in the Liar’s Den? Part III
Hell, there was even a selfish reason for him to sacrifice himself: Even then, he dies excoriating Scorpius and the Peacekeepers themselves, all while giving Talyn a noble end to his fragmented, violent life. Fucking hell, Talyn and Crais in one go. The scope of this episode is unreal. That grandeur manifests in so many surreal and shocking ways. Scorpius is a brutal character, make no mistake. You need only look to the cold open of this episode to see that. Much like Scorpius took Crais life from him, Crichton has just done the same thing.

The inevitable destruction of the Peacekeepers at the hands of the Scarrans? Nothing about the end of this arc — and this truly feels like the end of a massive arc — is neat or organized, though. I went from disappointment to sadness to anger to shock and to a million other things in between. These were some of the best sets and special effects, and the visuals will haunt me for a long time. Aeryn watches in horror as her old friend Henta is burned alive in front of her, all for doing what she was trained to do. How many of those escape pods crashed into ships surrounding the carrier, spinning off to their doom?
