the embarrassment of the critics, excavations have also proven that
the Aramaic of Daniel was an Imperial Aramaic of the seventh century
(600 B.C.) and not the Aramaic found later. The Babylonians did read
and write in Aramaic (Dan. 2:4). With the Dead Sea scrolls and recent
archaeological findings, the critics of Daniel are having to reconsider
their objections. Future discoveries are proving the criticisms to
be in error and not objective. Substantial historical evidence exists to prove that Daniel was written before the prophecies about Greece, Rome and Jesus were fulfilled. The Warning. The opening verses of Daniel are a warning to us. The nation of Israel had been a divided nation after King Solomon sinned and went after other gods (1 Kings 11:9-13). Two new kingdoms were created after his death as God had decreed. One was a new, smaller Israel in the northern portion of Palestine and the second kingdom was Judah in the south. This was the result of King Solomon’s sins and not the sins of the people. The kings of the new Israel and Judah continued ignoring God and worshipping other gods. They “did evil.” The chart below shows which kings did evil before God (1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles). The kings of Israel were the worst and so God disciplined them first and brought the Assyrian Empire down to remove the vast majority of the people to a foreign land. The kings of Judah were better, but only two kings were considered to be “good.” The last good king was King Josiah - a wonderful king. Listen to this!
