These possibilities are as followed:
The Decree of Cyrus in 445 BC
The Decree of Darius in 519 BC
The Decree of Artaxerxes in 458 BC
The Decree Artaxerxes to Nehemian in 445 BC 5
The most popular view accepted by most theologians is the Decree to Nehemian in 445 BC. According to Daniel 6:8-12, 15 no king has the capability to reverse any decree made previously. However Ezra 4:17-22 proves to be evidence that Artaxerxes did in fact leave room for anything otherwise. He left the opportunity for Jews to stop working and possibility for a later decree granting the rebuilding of the walls.6 This specific portion of this verse has been debated to its fullest amongst many Biblical scholars concluding with a translation for the word “streets” as to “plazas” giving the definition as follows; “A conduit for water, such as an aqueduct.” 7 Miller goes on to translate the word “walls” as “moats”. This translation is not into literal form as we understand the word “wall” but rather this particular word choice for “wall” in biblical time derives from the root translation, “To cut or sharpen.”8 This most makes sense with the understanding that todays modern lexicographers lay out this translation as “ditch”. With all of this knowledge the conclusion remains that they dug ditches while waiting for it to be filled with water, in which is conducive with the arid climate of this
The 5-2 is typical for high school level and is somewhat widely used at the collegiate level. It consists of two defensive tackles and two defensive ends and a nose guard. It is mostly used as run defense. Nevertheless, this defense can be just as successful against a pass with two or three linebackers and five pass rushers.
1.) There are many non-believers who question and try to disprove the validity of the word of God its authors who he spoke to. Many will argue that the number of authors prove that the bible is a collection of stories and go out of their way to deny divine inspiration of its authors. Divine authorship, “recognizes that every word of the Bible originated and came about through the work of God.” (Cartwright and Hulshof, 2016). God used men to put his words to the text of the Bible. Many people fail to realize that words of the scripture are directly his own.

Living life with eternity in view means realizing what the true purpose of life on earth is all about. The Psalmist wrote and said Psalm 90:12 (ESV)
The book of Amos is the earliest preserved example of classic prophetic writings. It consists of nine chapters, but Amos did not write the entirety of them. “A majority of scholars think that not all of the material in Amos goes back to the prophet himself but was added later by ancient editors of the book.” The anthology contains a variation of materials: prophecies, visions and addresses from Amos to the people of Israel. Two major themes of the book are the social injustice in Israel, and the impending doom in Israel’s future.
We are often searching for answers to find out who Jesus was or what His teachings really meant. John includes eight different situations in which Jesus gives what are known as the “I Am” statements. Instead of continuing to simply wonder about who Jesus is, we can take an in depth look into the “I Am” statements that Jesus made while He was here on earth. Conclusions can be drawn by looking at the statements Jesus makes and looking into what they mean. He uses an emphatic “I Am” to bring out important teachings about his person. Most of these statements are known by Christians.
The Book of Daniel is the only full-blown apocalyptic book in the Protestant recognized version of the Canon. A literary device divides the book into two halves. Chapters 1-6 are a collection of stories that introduces the reader to Daniel and three other Israelites as unwilling guests of the Babylonia Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. The second half, Chapters 7-12 consists of apocalyptic imagery of deformed beasts and the heavenly court. The focus of this paper will be on chapter 7, which serves as a bridge of the two halves. Chapter 7 is the earliest of the visions as it identifies with the genre of 8-12 while through language and content it reverts to Daniel chapter 2. The linguistic break down is not as neat as the literary divide in

English has always been a struggle for me, mainly writing and grammar. Neither, writing or grammar has come natural to me. The biggest challenge for me is putting my thoughts into words.

The book of Daniel is one about hope and unshakeable faith in God. Daniel is one of the greatest examples of a God-fearing man who did everything in his power to prove his love and loyalty for his Savior. The main theme of the book of Daniel is God’s sovereignty over history and empires, in which He appoints and dethrones rulers as He pleases.1 This is an allusion to the fact that worldly kingdoms will come and go, but the Lord’s Kingdom will never pass away. Several chapters throughout the book of Daniel deal with this concept. The book is named after the writer and main character, written in the sixth century B.C., to record the events of his life and the visions that he saw from the time of his exile to the third year of King Cyrus.2
The Book of Daniel took place in between 605 BC and 530 BC however the message is still relevant in today’s society, 2544 years later. Different themes are found in the book. These themes teach a lesson which can be used into today’s society. Even though the times, tradition and circumstances are different now than it was back then the messages are greatly relevant. The main themes of the book were about faithfulness toward what you believe in no matter what society says or the dangers. God is trustworthy and does everything for a reason no matter if the person is in the worst spot ever in life they have to believe there is something better in the future. Also Gods ability to save his children in the face of danger and
The two major divisions of the Book of Daniel are stories about Daniel and apocalyptic visions of a brighter future for those under persecution (Tullock & McEntire, 2006). The purpose of the division brings to light the story of Daniel in such a way as to introduce him and his friends by discussing their trials and troubles to add character to the story. The second part of the Book of Daniel relates the apocalyptic visions he has as a way to bring a message of hope to the reader of God overcoming the forces of evil.
Nehemiah the Israelite leader displays numerous traits of a Servant Leader in the biblical book, Nehemiah. Nehemiah sets out on a quest to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the wall that surrounds his beloved home. During this time, he encounters many obstacles and will overcome all roadblocks put in front of him. This paper will provide an analysis of two significant events, building the wall around Jerusalem and organizing Jerusalem’s people to rebuild the city.
The book of Daniel and the Revelation are counterparts of each other. They should be studied together as to get the whole picture of God’s redemptive plan, world’s history, the future of the world, God’s victory over evil at the end of the world, and a glimpse into the new heaven and the new earth. Even if these two books are different, many parts of the books talk about the same event of world’s history in which we are about to find out. In this essay, I will show how the book of Daniel is related to Revelation and then how John uses the imagery of Daniel. First of all, let us look at the introduction to the books of Daniel and Revelation. I will
In comparison to this, the section of the Hebrew Scriptures known as ‘prophecy’ is a far harder collection from which to discern common threads in the sense of genre or content. Set as a continuation of the greater biblical narrative, the Prophecy section is best understood when divided further into two parts, that of the former prophets and the later prophets . The former prophets consist of the books of Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 kings and are generally referred to as ‘deutero-historical books’, expressing the role the theology of Deuteronomy plays in its
