Daniel's Messiah: The 490 years of Daniel chapter Nine

Who was the biblical Daniel? Who wrote the book bearing his name? And what is the meaning of Daniel 9:25, "From the issuing of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah there will be 483 years"? In Daniel's Messiah I examine what the Rabbis had to say about this passage. I also examine Daniel and his Messiah in their historical context. What do the Rabbis say Messiah will look like when He comes, and why do they reject Jesus as Messiah? Who was Porphyry, and how is he relevant to the discussion? The answers to these questions and others contained in this book should leave the reader with the capability to clearly identify Daniel's Messiah.
