The books of Ezekiel and Daniel are rich in imagery taken up afresh in the New Testament. Echoes of Ezekiel--with its words of doom and promises of hope, the vision of a new temple and its scroll-eating prophet--are especially apparent in the book of Revelation. Daniel is most notable in supplying terminology and imagery for Jesus of Nazareth's favored self-description as "Son of man," a phrase also found in Ezekiel and one which John the seer employs repeatedly in describing the exalted figure of his vision on the island of Patmos. The four beasts of Daniel find their counterparts in the lion, ox, man and eagle of Ezekiel and Revelation. It is no wonder these books, despite the difficulties in interpreting them, took hold on the imagination of the early church. Over forty church fathers are cited in the commentary on Ezekiel, some of whom are here translated into English for the first time, but pride of place goes to four significant extant works: the homilies of Origen and Gregory the Great, and the commentaries of Jerome and Theodoret of Cyr, thus bridging East and West, North and South. A similar array of fathers are found within the commentary on Daniel. Extensive comments derive from the works of Theodoret of Cyr, Hippolytus, Jerome and Isho'dad of Merv and provide a wealth of insight. Valuable commentary attributed to Ephrem the Syrian and John Chrysostom is also found here, though the authorship of these commentaries is indeed questioned. Michael Glerup and Kenneth Stevenson edit this collection.

In the shadows between the living world and the land of the dead, the night’s terrors lurk... For as long as anyone can remember, the mountain village of Haven has been under the protection of an ancient warlock known as the Old Stargazer. But after countless years spent deciphering the language of the cosmos, the old man is losing himself to the many voices of the night sky. Now, a dark figure controls the forest with minions of kenku marauders—crowlike humanoids that menace Haven with violence and mayhem. If the Old Stargazer cannot or will not protect the villagers, they will have to find someone who can. Nergei, an orphan raised by the warlock, knows they must venture beyond the safety of Haven to find the help they need. With little to offer mercenaries, and a ragged band at his side, he sets forth in search of heroes, never believing in what he might find.

Dr. William H. Shea, retired associate director of the Biblical Research Institute, guides us into the history and prophecies in Daniel, revealing the true heart of the book Jesus! He is the Messiah of Daniel 9, the Priest of Daniel 8, and the King of Daniel 7. As you study this ancient book with this well-known theologian, you ll find Daniel's prophecies are about a God in whose hands your future is secure.

This volume illuminates the full extent of the corpus of ancient and mediaeval apocryphal Daniel literature. It is the first study to examine the Daniel legenda, the apocryphal apocalypses, and the prognostica as discrete categories of texts and to evaluate their generic relationship to the biblical Book of Daniel. Special emphases include the identification of the texts and their manuscript evidence as well as the study of late antique and early mediaeval apocalyptic literature attributed to Daniel. This volume will be of particular interest to biblical scholars and to those who specialise in biblical apocrypha and pseudepigrapha.

"And behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom." (Daniel 7:13-14 ESV). Perceiving a hole in evangelical biblical theology that should be filled with a robust treatment of the book of Daniel, James Hamilton takes this chance to delve into the book's rich contribution to the Bible's unfolding redemptive-historical storyline. By setting Daniel in the broader context of biblical theology, this canonical study helps move us toward a clearer understanding of how we should live today in response to its message. First, Hamilton shows how the book's literary structure contributes to its meaning, and then addresses key questions and issues, concluding by examining typological patterns. This New Studies in Biblical Theology volume argues that the four kingdoms prophesied by Daniel are both historical and symbolic―that the "one like a son of man" seen by Daniel is identified with and distinguished from the Ancient of Days in a way that would be mysterious until Jesus came as both the son of David and God incarnate. He elaborates that the interpretations of Daniel in early Jewish literature attest to strategies similar to those employed by New Testament authors and exposes that those authors provide a Spirit-inspired interpretation of Daniel that was learned from Jesus. He also highlights how the book of Revelation uses Daniel's language, imitates his structure, points to the fulfillment of his prophecies and clarifies the meaning of his "seventieth week." Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

According to Flavius Josephus, a first century Jewish historian, the prophecies of Daniel were admired and studied by the political leaders of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. Even Titus and other Roman emporors respected the ancient prophet. Daniel's view of "the times of the Gentiles" has thus far been fulfilled with uncanny accuracy. Beyond his writing about the four kingdoms and the cutting off of the Messiah, Daniel focused on the roots and works of the future Antichrist. No other Old Testament prophet spent as many chapters on the "little horn" as Daniel. In fact, when John penned the Apocalypse, most of his metaphors, the beast, three and a half years timing, God's throne, etc. alluded to Daniel's visions. The prophecy of the "seventy weeks" has perplexed theologians for centuries. Many have tried to figure out the timing, but with little success. However, in this volume, you will discover that Daniel's "weeks" were fulfilled in concert with the Sabbatical cycles, as given in the Mosaic Law. Problems with the dating occured because 2nd century rabbis removed 243 years from their calendar in order to cause Daniel's prophecy to line up with Rabbi Akiva's declaration that Bar Kokhba was the promised "star" out of Jacob. You will find that this book fills in the historical gaps and lays out the calendar of events in an easy-to-understand format. 330 page paperback.

Aramaic Light on Ezekiel, Daniel, and the Minor Prophetsis a unique commentary based on the Aramaic language and ancient Near Eastern customs. It carries the reader back to a time when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were guided by spiritual, caring, and compassionate men gifted with prophetic insight to help their people. These men of God were spokesmen for justice, compassion, and social rejuvenation. This volume presents an unusual perspective and a clear interpretation of their writings. It is not a verse by verse commentary but one that offers the reader understanding into many of the difficult oracles and prophecies, unlocking their mystical symbols and visions. This inimitable commentary acts as a Near Eastern guide, revealing to the Western mind a more intimate picture of the socio-religious, Semitic culture and psychological environment of the various periods. Its approach is simple, informative, and scholarly without using specialized theological terminology and it is an easy read for everyone. Dr. Errico and Dr. Lamsa illuminate many misunderstood passages in the biblical, religious, and prophetic history of ancient Israel. They clarify the mysterious priestly visions of Ezekiel, the great mystical symbols and beasts of Daniel with its far-reaching prophecies into the time of the Christian movement, and unveil the oracles of the so-called minor prophets from Hosea to Malachi. This volume is not just a revision of Dr. Lamsa's Old Testament Light commentary, 1964. Dr. Errico has edited, expanded, and annotated the previous comments. In addition the book now contains unpublished material that the two of them had only drafted prior to Dr. Lamsa's death in September of 1975. Dr. Errico completed these comments, adding information derived from his studies with Dr. Lamsa and continual research in Aramaic word meanings and Near Eastern Semitic cultural studies.

The author is interested in the books of the Bible which were written in the age of Greek intellectual dominance. In the present work he tries to understand Jonah, Daniel, Koheleth [Ecclesiastes], and Esther as witnesses to the mentality of men of that period in the ancient Near East." To refer the books of the Bible to the conditions of their origin is a more complicated and in a sense a more dangerous task than to do the same thing for, say, Homer, because the biblical books have for over two thousand years been the subject of deeply committed interpretation by Jewish and Christian religious thinkers of varying views. It is one of the merits of Dr. Bickerman's book that he pays attention to these later interpretations, not only to dismiss them or to be witty at their expense (though he sometimes does both these things), but also to illuminate changes of viewpoint and to show how different historical circumstances produce different ways of reading.

Book by Vimala Begley, Richard Daniel De Puma

Mark Davidson, author of Daniel Revisited, has created a unique interpretation of end-time Bible prophecy using the ancient concentric reading method known as chiastics. Lost centuries ago, it was rediscovered by seminary scholars in the eighteenth century. This reading method reveals the form of the scripture text via the flow of its words, giving us a heightened sensitivity to the words in the text. When combined with the words' meanings, we receive a greater understanding of prophetic scripture. In Daniel Revisited, Davidson showed us the four signposts-four events prophesied in Daniel 7 and 8 and Revelation 6-to occur in the Middle East prior to the Rapture and Tribulation. Now in Chronicles of the End Times, chiastic reading has been applied to all of Daniel, Revelation, and other books, pulling back the veil further to expand our view from four events to all the main events, from the Middle East to the ends of the earth. A chiastic reading of Daniel, Zechariah 1-6, Matthew 23-25, and Revelation-all shown in ninety illustrations-yields many solid answers to the following questions as well as to many others: - How do Daniel 2 and 7 interact, and why are the kingdoms metals and beasts? - What's the purpose of Daniel's Aramaic chapters, and how do they affect the end times? - Which parts of Daniel 11 are to be fulfilled in ancient times versus end times? - What is the real identity of Mystery Babylon, and how does this help us in the end times? - How do the two scrolls of Revelation give greater understanding of the trumpets and bowls? - What are the Seven Events of the end times, and which one is next? This all may seem incredible for one book, but is nevertheless true. The chiastic reading of Bible prophecy revolutionizes our view of the end times and how we read Bible end-time prophecy.

Can we logically combine recent research on human origins with ancient legends of floods, paradise lost, and cloud clad gods destroying civilizations? Yes, says author Alan Daniel, who has thoughtfully joined key primordial legends with mitochondrial DNA research, archeological and anthropological finds, and geological evidence in Tracking Ancient Legends. DNA evidence shows a small band of humans crossed out of Africa into Eurasia about 100,000 BC; however, why is lost to the primordial mists. But the why may be answered by primeval legends overlooked until now. The author theorizes that prehistoric legends may explain the flight from Africa. The model set forth is fascinating, as well as epic in scope. Competing theories are examined, including the ancient astronaut concepts, and the foundations of theory itself. Are aliens from other worlds the source of our legends, or is something much more earthly and surprising the groundwork of our legendary past?
