dc.description.abstract | This article explores the story and plot of Daniel 8 and 9, and
argues that the angel Gabriel assists Daniel in handling the shock factor associated
with Divine revelation concerning a seemingly successful antichrist. A
comparison of the Septuagint traditions with the Masoretic text this article
shows that Daniel 8 and the later part of 9 present visions of an apparently
successful blasphemous king and an initially unsuccessful Messiah, rulers
against and for God respectively. The perplexities of the prophet about the
apparent lack of fulfilment of earlier Divine revelation are part of the literary
tension of the text. This article takes a philological approach to Daniel 8 and 9
as a literary unity passed on by a Judeo-Christian tradition and recognizing a
unifying role of the Angel Gabriel in Biblical literature | en_US |
