How can an ancient book written over 2500 years ago be so accurate in predictive prophecy? Both ancient and modern historians have tried to challenge the authorship and dating of the book of Daniel because they could not bring themselves to believe the prophetic accuracy. Yet the book of Daniel was translated into the Greek Septuagint 250 years before Christ. Detailed descriptions of the timing of Jesus' triumphal entry, His death and the destruction the Jewish Temple were predicted with exacting details. While Daniel has much to say about the period from 600 B.C. until the fall of the temple in 70 A.D, his most incredible predictions are yet to come. Daniel predicts the reestablishment of the modern nation of Israel, an array of nations that are key players on the stage of history today. Daniel foresees a coming king who will rule the world. He will take control through subterfuge, cunning and pure evil. The world will fall at his feet. Yet his kingdom will encounter opposition. The book of Daniel ends like an adventure novel where the villain is on the verge of complete victory. But he has not calculated that there is one person that has already assured his defeat.
