Using the Book of Daniel, Bible scholar Joseph Seiss reveals the culture of ancient Babylon, shedding light on the language, symbols and royalty of this civilization.
The tribulations of the prophet Daniel provide some of the most vivid images in the Old Testament. As a youth, Daniel was taken into servitude under the custody of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who appreciated the man's wisdom and counsel. The Bible's descriptions range from the royal court of Babylon, plus events such as Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream, and Daniel's time in the lion's den after jealous figures at court claimed he worshipped God rather than the king.
With his commentary informed by decades of close scriptural study, Joseph Seiss sheds light upon the age-old culture of Babylonia. Driven to author this work in belief that Babylon's place in Bible study was unappreciated by fellow theologians and scholars, Seiss mounts a determined study. It is a study that delivers reverential credence to the words of God, and the spiritual significance of the visions and prophecies which occurred in Babylon. While the Book of Daniel is the primary source, the author also quotes and examines other relevant parts of the Bible, bringing to completion this thorough and well-informed commentary.
