  Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
  I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
  Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
  God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
  
  They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
  Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
  Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
  Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
  
  Daniel my brother you are older than me
  Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
  Your eyes have died but you see more than I
  Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
  
  Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
  I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
  Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
  God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
  Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

  Objective research into Daniel provides the clues for its factual and exegetical errors. Such errors include:

  • Reference to the incorrect year that Daniel was taken captive.
  • The wrong name of the king following Babylon's Fall.
  • The confusion of Nebuchadnezzar's supposed madness with Nabonidus' absence from Babylon.
  • The incorrect reading of Jeremiah's "70 years".

  A clue to the reasons for such errors lies in the reapplication by the writer(s) of the "70 years" to "70 heptads". This extended the original period to "490 years", which were timed to end when the book of Daniel was written - 164 BCE (some 400 years after the events being described).

  Confirmation is given with the symbolic, mythical parables of the miraculous rescue of Daniel in a den of lions and in the miraculous survival from fire – even without the smell of smoke on them. The promised survival of the nation of Israel was being pictured, despite their persecutions at the time the book (scroll) was being written during the 2nd century BCE. That’s why they wrote that the “70 weeks” would terminate in their time.

  Gotta love that wacky Christian Bible.
  
  Chapter 2 of Daniel sounds suspiciously similar to...
  
  INCEPTION.
