AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 24:15 ¶ "So when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION [the appalling sacrilege that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader understand), [Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11] |
Subject: Who wrote Daniel? |
Bible Note: I find this passage in Matthew particularly interesting because it takes the prophecies of Daniel into a future time (beyond Antiochus) -- perhaps referring to the destruction of the Temple (Herod's construction). -- also, looking to Revelation. I don't find it particurly definitive, in terms of who wrote Daniel. I think Jesus could speak the language of his day, and of the internal language of the Bible -- which would refer to Daniel as the author, and similarly with the books of Moses. So my question, then, is about relating the authorship of Daniel to external historical evidence. |
