Belshazzar
"Belshazzar's banquet" in Daniel's book, chapter 5, is a propaganda story to strengthen Jewish faith (time of creation: 539–331 BC). This story has virtually nothing to do with the actual events. Its alleged author and Belshazzar's contemporary witness, the biblical Daniel, [...]
Who was Darius the Mede?
In contrast to the opinion of Jehovah's Witnesses, Daniel was not a contemporary witness at the court of Persian rulers. His historical knowledge is poor. For example, he confuses "Darius the Mede" (Darius I) with Cyrus II. Daniel's book, chapter 6, [...]
Telling Details
Chapters 3–6 in Daniel's book were already written in the period 539–331 BC. They are legends to strengthen the Jews' faith in Yahweh. Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel's book has little in common with the historical Nebuchadnezzar.
More testimonials for Daniel’s book
Contrary to the opinion of Jehovah's Witnesses, the origin-time of Daniel's book is mainly the 2nd century BC and Daniel from Ezekiel's book has nothing to do with Daniel the prophet, in Daniel's book.
The Greatest Witness
For Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus is the greatest Witness to the credibility of Daniel's book. In fact, however, the Bible is contradictory in a hair-raising way and the biblical Jesus a fictional person.
The 70 ‘Weeks’
The 70 weeks in Daniel's book (9:24) is a correction of the 70 years in the Jeremiah book (25:11). The interpretation of Daniel's book, chapter 9, by Jehovah's Witnesses is completely wrong.
Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
Jehovah's Witnesses misinterpret Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel's book, chapter 2) and Revelation 17:9-10.
God’s kingdom
God's kingdom is announced in the Bible for antiquity, not modern times. All opposite statements made by Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect. For a heavenly kingdom, established in 1914, they don't provide any credible evidence.
The 7 Times
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that in 1914, a heavenly government was established by God. They derive this year from Daniel's book (4:16,32). However, such an interpretation of the "7 times" does not follow from the Bible. In addition, Jehovah's Witnesses falsify history [...]
The Wicked Little Horn
Jehovah's Witnesses interpret the "little horn" in Daniel's visions (Daniel 7; Daniel 8) as "Anglo-American world power" ("7th world power"), Satan, who covers the world with war and terror and persecutes Jehovah's Witnesses. In 1914, they claim, Jehovah established a heavenly [...]
The Two Kings Change Identities
Jehovah's Witnesses claim that chapter 11 of Daniel's book contains a message for millennia to come. They say that there had been announced a millennia-long mutation of the "king of the north" and the "king of the south" (Daniel 11:40). These [...]
The Disgusting Thing
Daniel's book, chapter 11, reports on the desecration of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. There, the Seleucid ruler Antiochus Epiphanes let set up a Zeus Altar (= "abomination that makes desolate", Daniel 11:31) in the year 168 BC to make Jewish [...]
The Revelation
In Revelation, a terrible divine judgment is prophesied to the nations at the end of the first century AD. It's about a whole series of court procedures during which a large part of mankind is to be killed (Revelation 9:18; 14:20). [...]
The Judgment
God's judgment is described in the Gospels and Revelation (Rev) of the Bible as God's terrible punishment which will come on mankind like the flood (Matthew 24:37-41; Rev 14:14-20). There is no talk of grace and mercy, but of hell and [...]
The Dent and the Paradise
Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Paul's doctrine of original sin and Jesus' ransom sacrifice. They see their freedom in a humble submission to Jehovah's will -- whatever that may be. In their opinion, Satan is the ruler of this world, not Jehovah. [...]
The Prophesied Messiah
In the opinion of Jehovah's Witnesses and other Christian religious communities and according to the authors of the New Testament, Jesus Christ was already predicted by prophets of the Old Testament hundreds of years before his appearance. In reality, however, it [...]
God’s New People
From the point of view of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Jewish people was rejected by Jehovah because it did not accept Jesus to be its Messiah. They refer to Matthew 23:37-24:3 and consider themselves as the new people of God and as [...]
Satan, Armageddon and the False Religions
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that we are living in a “world empire of false religion”, “counterfeit Christians” and since 1914 in “the time of the end”. It is “Satan's world” that is getting worse and worse. But soon, this end-time would expire. [...]
Beware of the Black Pudding!
Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusion and cite Bible verses like Genesis 9:4, Acts 15:20,29. The Bible, however, doesn't disclose a ban on blood transfusions. If Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusion, they accept that they may bleed to death after serious accidents [...]
