Episode Details

Daniel McClellan ‪@maklelan‬ argues that Christians reinterpret the prophecies of Daniel—especially Daniel 2—to make them fit later history, often dating the book to around 160 BC.

In this response, Jacob Glass examines that claim directly.

Does the historical and textual evidence support a late authorship, or does the identification of the fourth kingdom as Rome point to something far more compelling?

This episode walks through the structure of Daniel 2, the succession of kingdoms, and why the traditional understanding has remained so consistent throughout church history.

Are Christians “renegotiating” prophecy—or recognizing what the text actually says?
