Daniel...is not...a prophet...in judaism. This is not the traditional interpretation of that story. No specifically christian interpretation of any ot story, is the traditional or conservative interpretation. Not even those jewish people who mistakenly believed that daniel was written in the 6th century, considered it to be a prophetic work.
Quote:The author calls them dreams and visions. I have no problem simply calling them such if it makes any difference to you.It makes a difference to judaism, and it clearly makes a difference to you, as your rejection of all of this content is specifically predicate on your belief that it is a prophetic book. That, likely, influences your belief that it was composed in the sixth century, as well. I mean, if it helps, I think that your interpretation is accurate with respect to your beliefs? Obviously, I don't use your beliefs as the metrics or the context of the stories, is all.
