Who wrote Daniel?
Who wrote Daniel: The authorship of the book of Daniel is a very controversial issue. Scholars are divided between two different authors at two very different dates. Some scholars argue Daniel, a statesman held in exile in Babylon, wrote the book in the sixth century B.C. around the same time Ezekiel wrote the book of Ezekiel. Many point to references to Daniel found within the book of Ezekiel as evidence (Ezekiel 14:14, 14:20, 28:3) . Other scholars argue the book of Daniel was written anonymously as an encouragement to the Jewish people during their resistance to the Syrian-Greek tyrant Antiochus…

What is the Devil?
… emperor of Rome who: demanded people worship him as a god, committed the neronian persecutions against the Christians, led a war against Israel resulting in the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., and killed the apostles Peter and Paul. Revelation calls the Antichrist the “beast” identified in the book of Daniel (a title Nero accepted), and makes a distinction between the “beast” and the devil, which John calls “the dragon.” This calls for wisdom.

Did Jesus claim to be God?
Did Jesus claim to be God: Many have tried to assert that Jesus never claimed to be God. Some try to suggest that when Christ refers to himself as the son of God, or more commonly the Son of Man, he is not trying to identify himself as one with God, but is one that is distinct from God. However, when reviewing the term “Son of Man” we find Christ is clearly equating himself with God. According to the book of Daniel the attributes of the Son of Man are the same attributes as that of God, making the…
