A study of the account of the Book of Daniel by this same authority is both illuminating and interesting. It seems that this book was not written by Daniel, but by some unknown writer during the Maccabeean age, about the middle of the second century before Christ. As this was hundreds of years after the time many of Daniel’s prophecies was supposed to cover it may in part account for the accuracy with which the writer waa able to foretell them Hind sight is much easier than foresight. Take for instance the four beasts that aroae out of the aea. It is agreed, we be lieve, that these beasts repre sented the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Peraia, Persia and Mace donia.
