THE BOOK OF DANIEL...HOW ACCURATE IS THE WORD OF PROPHECY?

 THE BOOK OF DANIEL...HOW ACCURATE IS THE WORD OF GODS PROPHECY?

The Book of Daniel (Hebrew: דניאל) is a book in the Hebrew Bible. In the Jewish canon, the book of Daniel is included with the Writings not in the Prophets. The book tells of how Daniel, a Judean exile at the court of Nebuchadnezzar II (605 to 562 BC), the ruler of Babylon, becomes a high government official^[1] and delivers various visions. Due to the prophecy content of the book, skeptics argue that the book was probably composed about 165 BC,^[2] shortly before the death of Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164.^[3] Opinions continue to differ, however, in light of apparently early forms of Aramaic language used in the Aramaic portions.^[4]
The earliest manuscripts discovered were written partly in Hebrew and partly in Aramaic,^[5] and consists of a series of six third-person narratives (chapters one to six) followed by four apocalyptic visions in the first person (chapters seven to twelve). The narratives take the form of court tales which focus on tests of religious fidelity involving Daniel and his friends (chapters one, three and six), and Daniel's interpretation of royal dreams and visions (chapters two, four and five). In the second part of the book, Daniel recounts his own reception of dreams, visions and angelic interpretations.

Jewish and Christian Historicists, Futurists, Dispensationalists, Partial Preterists, and other futuristic Jewish and Christian hybrids, as well as certain Messianic Jews typically believe that the kingdoms in Daniel (with variations) are:
WHAT IS NOW HAPENNING IN THIS PART OF OUR WORLD? WHAT DO YOU SEE AND HEAR?

WHAT IS HAPPENNING IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

1. the Neo-Babylonian Empire
2. the Medo-Persian Empire
3. the Macedonian Empire of Alexander and his successors to the Ptolomaic and Seleucid Empires together, and
4. the Roman Empire, with other implications to come later.
5. (MINE...THE GROWING KINGDOM OF THE ANTICHRIST!)

This was the scheme described by Jerome in his "Commentary on Daniel."^[69]
Full Preterists, Idealists, certain Reconstructionists and other non-futurists likewise typically believe in the same general sequence, but they teach that Daniel's prophecies ended with the destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem, and have little to no implications beyond that.
All of these schools of prophetic thought typically start from the same basic premise (with variations), but differ in their conclusions (as described afterward):

Matthew 24:6..."WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING IN THIS PART OF OUR WORLD?"

King James Version (KJV)

 ⁶And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

GRACE ABOUND!!!
