There are very clear criteria, outlined plainly in scripture. But interestingly it seems the only authority pointed to this far is a man and his subjective opinion.
I can offer my thoughts as to why Daniel is rejected as a prophet. It is as it has always been - it's a pragmatic rejection based on Daniel being much to pointedly Messianic, and more than this, his prophecies make it an unequivocal fast that Messiah has already come, and when coupled with another oft rejected portion of Isaiah, make it plain that Jesus is Messiah.
Daniel is understandable only when he is interpreted in the light of the second advent of Messiah to redeem Israel and reestablish the land promised to Abraham, and upturn this world and it's corruption. Sadly, it will take Jacobs trouble to bring the nation to its knees and finally see that Jesus is Lord. This judgment is already pressing in on Israel, would to God that Jews everywhere were warned that this judgment will surpass any suffering the nation has ever known. Lift your heads, because it's obvious.
But I digress.
I would like to hear from the people on this forum and thread why THEY reject Daniel as a prophet of God - so far I have just gotten Jewish FAQ site links as responses, and insults.
There truly is nothing new under the sun.
