DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 10 – Daniel’s Last Vision
the instruction given to Daniel respecting

the seventy weeks, in the first year of Darius,

B. C. 538, as recorded in chapter 9. On the

overthrow of the kingdom of Babylon by the

Medes and Persians, B. C. 538, Darius, through

the courtesy of his nephew, Cyrus, was

permitted to occupy the throne. This he did till

the time of his death, about two years after.

About this time, Cambyses, king of Persia, the

father of Cyrus, having also died, Cyrus

became sole monarch of the second universal

empire of prophecy, B. C. 536. This being

reckoned as his first year, his third year, in

which this vision was given to Daniel, would

be dated B. C. 534. The death of Daniel is

supposed to have occurred soon after this, he

being at this time, according to Prideaux, not

less than ninety-one years of age.
