Part Twenty Five – Examination of Daniel: Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox and King James

Daniel unfolds within exile under successive empires—Babylonian, Median, and Persian. Unlike earlier prophetic books that speak primarily to Jerusalem before or during its fall, Daniel speaks from within foreign courts. The setting is imperial. The tension is allegiance. The question beneath every chapter is consistent: who truly rules? The book divides naturally into two movements. The first half presents court narratives of faithfulness under pressure—refusal of defilement, interpretation of royal dreams, survival in furnace and lions’ den, and the humbling of proud kings. The second half shifts to apocalyptic vision—beasts rising from the sea, heavenly thrones established, the Son of Man receiving dominion, and prophetic timelines unfolding toward final conflict and resurrection. The theological center of Daniel is divine sovereignty over earthly empire. Kings decree, boast, and threaten, yet “the Most High rules in the kingdom of men.” Judgment humbles arrogance. Faithfulness is preserved under persecution. The kingdom “cut without hands” outlasts gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Translation must preserve this hierarchy of authority without exaggerating apocalyptic symbolism or softening the severity of imperial pride. Daniel’s visions intensify progressively. The statue of chapter two gives way to beasts in chapter seven. The Ancient of Days presides. One like the Son of Man receives everlasting dominion. The seventy weeks prophecy introduces covenant chronology and eschatological tension. The book closes with resurrection language and sealed understanding reserved for the wise. The Ethiopian Tewahedo witness and the King James rendering share Daniel’s structural and theological foundation. Differences will emerge in phrasing, particularly in visionary and time-oriented passages. Tone will shape emotional resonance—whether visions feel ominous or ordered, symbolic or literalized. The guiding question remains constant: does translation alter theology, or does it shape cadence? Daniel reveals exile without surrender, empire without permanence, prophecy without panic. Its conclusion affirms resurrection hope and the final vindication of the faithful. The Most High rules. His kingdom stands. #Daniel #EthiopianCanon #EthiopianTewahedo #KingJamesBible #BiblicalComparison #ScriptureStudy #ApocalypticVision #SonOfMan #AncientOfDays #StoneCutWithoutHands #SeventyWeeks #BiblicalProphecy #DivineSovereignty #ResurrectionHope #CauseBeforeSymptom
