🎙️ Unveiling Daniel's Prophecies: What They Really Say vs. What You've Been Told

The Book of Daniel is often spotlighted by Christian apologists as one of the most "airtight" prophetic texts foretelling Jesus' coming — particularly Chapters 2, 7, and 9. But when we slow down, zoom out, and actually engage the text critically, the narrative begins to shift.

This stream dives into:

📜 Daniel 2 – The statue dream that's been stretched across centuries to somehow land on Jesus. But is this really a messianic prophecy, or just a political commentary coded in apocalyptic symbolism?

🦁 Daniel 7 – The "Son of Man" vision — a favorite prooftext for Christian theology. But did Daniel really have Jesus in mind? Or is this an internal Jewish vision of national hope and divine justice?

📅 Daniel 9 – The infamous "70 Weeks" prophecy. Many claim it pinpoints Jesus' arrival — but what happens when we bring in actual historical chronology? Spoiler: the math doesn't math. Plus, we’ll expose how Christian interpretations often manipulate the timeline, using retroactive theology and creative calendaring.

📚 Canon Confusion – Why is the Book of Ezra placed right after Daniel in the Christian Old Testament? Is that an innocent editorial choice… or a theological sleight of hand to support the 70 Weeks timeline? In the Jewish Tanakh, Ezra comes much later — and that changes everything.

Join us as we unpack ancient apocalyptic literature with a fresh, historically-grounded lens — not with blind rejection, but with intellectual honesty. This isn’t about "debunking" for the sake of it. It’s about asking: What did these texts originally mean in their own context? And who decided they pointed to Jesus?
