BC. - the king of the Seleucid state Antiochus IV Epiphanes and his policy of forced Hellenization. As the organizers of the forgery, the author indicates the leaders of the rebel Jews - the Maccabee brothers and their father Mattathias, who, most likely, may only have conceived the idea of the forgery. The non-prophetic parts of the book of Daniel, according to the author, may be a retelling of edifying stories about a certain (perhaps fictitious) Jew Daniel, already known to the Jews before the book of Daniel appeared; Moreover, the Jew Daniel himself is most likely a “literary clone” of the ancient Middle Eastern pagan sage Daniel. The book provides a detailed interpretation of all five “apocalyptic” prophecies of Daniel, and also examines the Jewish and Christian interpretations of Daniel’s prophecy of the seventy weeks.
