Daniel: Under the Siege of the Divine is a powerful, poetic commentary on one of the Bible's most politically charged books by one of America's greatest peacemaking prophets, Daniel Berrigan. Using the insights he has gained from a lifetime of nonviolent resistance to war and empire, Berrigan walks us through these ancient biblical stories of nonviolent resistance to war and empire, pointing out how we can learn from Daniel and his friends to keep the faith, stay hopeful, and resist every war, injustice, and empire today. It is not only one of Berrigan's best books, but one of the best commentaries on the book of Daniel. Through the scripture and the author's life, we discover the power and duty of civil disobedience to the culture of war and divine obedience to the God of peace.
These commentaries address many of the Bible’s secrets that have been waiting literally centuries to be revealed. Some of these commentaries address information that has been misunderstood. The Scripture reveals why this generation is unique above all others. The significance is amazing! Information in this book will be controversial to some because it challenges some of the myths that are still being perpetuated. I found it amazing how God targeted the 1948 generation from the time of the birth of Abraham to be the last generation to reveal the consummation of the age, and we are living in it right now. I found it amazing that the United States has been kept hidden in prophecy until it was time for it to be revealed. The prophecy even reveals the invasion and occupation of the country. These things and many others are disclosed in these commentaries.
Seventh-day Adventist authors have maintained a fairly consistent understanding of Daniel's major prophecies, though several significant disagreements have taken place. One well known difficulty, and the theme of this research, has been the Church's interpretation of Daniel 8:14. In light of the current discussions, the purpose of this book is to 1--demonstrate that a clearer understanding of the SDA doctrine of the sanctuary may be obtained by studying the Hebrew rendering nisdaq; 2--resubstantiate the validity of the LXX translation; 3--highlight Daniel 8:14's close relationship to the rest of the chapter and the typical Day of Atonement; and 4--show the necessity of an investigative judgment.
Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him." Daniel 2: 20-21. The Book of Daniel is the first apocalypse of the Bible. In 605 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon had conquered Judah and deported many of its inhabitants to Babylon - Daniel included. Daniel served in the royal court of Nebuchadnezzar and several rulers who followed Nebuchadnezzar. The Book of Daniel records the actions, prophecies, and visions of the Prophet Daniel. Nothing is known of Daniel except what appears in his book. The first half of the book tells the story of the Hebrew prophet living in Babylon during the exile; the second half is his prophetic vision. The book's message is that just as the God of Israel saved Daniel and his friends from their enemies, so he would save all Israel in their present oppression. Its influence has resonated through later ages, from the Dead Sea Scrolls community and the authors of the gospels and Revelation, the various movements from the 2nd century to the Protestant Reformation, and modern millennialist movements such as Seventh Day Adventism, on whom it continues to have a profound influence.

Be blessed richly by reading how Daniel looked up from the den's bottom and saw the sky disappearing, along with the natural light dimming, as several beams of ghostly light suddenly pierced the cloud of blackness that usually existed when the covering stone was being put into place. And from out of that dimly lit place dozens of hellish eyes all around him all of a sudden were glowing like beacons of incoming death aflame as dozens of lions quickly encircled him. But as they slowly neared, the devilish blood lust within their eyes immediately faded away with the ghostly light's increase that was happening all around Daniel at the very same time. Furthermore, the reddish glare within the eyes of those starving beasts abruptly began glowing a beautiful shade of blue because of the reflection of that intensifying incandescent ghostly light, which was radiating all around Daniel like a blanket of some glorious warmth.Even those lions stopped dead in their tracks, many being only a few feet away from that son of Jerusalem. 'Twas then a delightful moment when that prophet of the King of Heaven unexpectedly felt His anointing fall upon his shoulders, as the sound of a rushing wind supernaturally swept through that cavernous looking den, swiftly causing most of those overgrown cats to back off several feet. So without any warning, Daniel was abruptly being placed under the raging fires of God's blazing love, while his very own heart was immediately inflamed with wonder, once he realized that this den of death was ablaze with life.

In these meditations Daniel Bourguet enables us to draw alongside the thief on the cross and enter his dialogue with Christ; he guides us downward into the darkness of hell through a reading of Psalm 88; and finally we discover on Easter morning both the confusion and then faith of Mary Magdalene as she meets the Risen Lord (John 20). Bourguet's confidence in the biblical text means that he engages with it and follows wherever it leads, however risky . . . and he emerges--with us--miraculously enriched.
Exalting Jesus in Daniel is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. This series affirms that the Bible is a Christ-centered book, containing a unified story of redemptive history of which Jesus is the hero. It’s presented as sermons, divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy-reading, practical and friendly commentary. The series is projected to be 48 volumes.
This is a collection of several texts that were removed from the Bible, centuries ago. This collection covers the material which has been removed from the Book of Daniel, over time. There is a lengthy and historical introduction, discussing the various pieces and explaining their content and finally, the text of the passages themselves. This includes: The Prayer of Azariah, The Song of the Three Holy Children, the story of Susanna and the Elders, the story of the Priests of Bel, the story of Daniel Slaying the Dragon, the story of Daniel Returning to the Lion's Den and the rarely seen Seventh Vision of Daniel and Fourteenth Vision.
The stories enclosed within this book are, for the most part, true accounts of happenings, experiences, and things I've come to conclude in my life. Keeping in mind, we all usually do learn from our mistakes, I would like to think that some of the things mentioned within may also have happened to you or may help to save you a little time in the future. I hope you like! Sincerely, Daniel
This study argues that Theodotion's Greek text of Daniel reflects a systematic revision of the Old Greek according to a Semitic source which often preserved original readings against the combined evidence of both the Masoretic Text and the Qumran scrolls.
