The Argument

By Kyle Swinehart

"The Arguement" is an in-depth analysis or biblical end-times prophecy in respect to accurate historical accounts and the detailed study of the dead sea scrolls. In this book Kyle is able to prove that the Book of Daniel is a genuine prophecy, and Daniel did in fact extensively and precisely predicts the future of future kingdoms and geo-political interactions between nations hundreds of years in advance. Therefore, Daniel truly was in contact with a being greater than our three dimensions, and outside of what we consider space and time. This reveals compelling evidence for the existence of God. "The Arguement" also examines the book of Revelation, whose author was in contact with the same being Daniel received his prophecies from, and after cross examining with the book of Daniel, Kyle discovers secrets hidden within the prophecies of Revelation that reveals the identity of the antichrist, the history and agenda of the beast system, and that we are truly living in the last days.

The Argument

An expositional essay on my endeavor to prove the existence of God, and that we are currently living in the last days.

So what began my journey is my growing fascination with the end of the world, searching and scouring the internet for any information that could reveal the nature of the end of the world timeline, and what specific events that will take place.  After entertaining every conspiracy theory in existence, I decided to read the book of Revelation to see if I could get a better perspective of an end of the world scenario, and what the Bible said about how things goes down.  Though I felt my interpretations were accurate, I still really didn't understand what I was looking at.  One thing I did learn, however, is that there were passages spread throughout the entire bible that helped further explain almost every verse in Revelations.  This specifically lead me to the book of Daniel.  Most people have heard about Daniel being deported as a teenager, interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's prophetic dream, and being thrown into the lion's den.  But as I investigated his prophetic visions, I began to take note of the astonishing details and accuracy of the fulfillment of these prophecies.  The first 6 chapters of Daniel are Historical accounts.  In Daniel 5, King Belshazzar receives a grave message after a blasphemous feast.

"Belshazzar made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and there was wine before the thousand.  And Belshazzar, drinking, gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nebuchadnezzar his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.  They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.  In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.  Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one another.  And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and there shall be a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom(Daniel 5:1-7)".  

Belshazzar was terrified from seeing this hand write him a message on the wall, but no one could interpret the message.  Knowing who Daniel was, Belshazzar had him brought before him, and Daniel interpreted the writing.  

"And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.  This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured thy kingdom, and finished it.  Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.  Phares; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.  Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.  In the same night was Belshazzar the Chaldean king slain.  And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years old(Daniel 5:25-31)".  

Something significant also happened at this very time in history, Cyrus the Great was planning an attack on Babylon.  According to Herodotus, also regarded as the father of history, Cyrus laid siege to Babylon, and carried out a very specific plan for sneaking his troops into the city.

"Cyrus was now reduced to great perplexity, as time went on and he made no progress against the place. In this distress either someone made the suggestion to him, or he bethought himself of a plan, which he proceeded to put in execution. He placed a portion of his army at the point where the river enters the city, and another body at the back of the place where it issues forth, with orders to march into the town by the bed of the stream, as soon as the water became shallow enough: he then himself drew off with the unwarlike portion of his host, and made for the place where [legendary former queen] Nitocris dug the basin for the river, where he did exactly what she had done formerly: he turned the Euphrates by a canal into the basin, which was then a marsh, on which the river sank to such an extent that the natural bed of the stream became fordable.  Hereupon the Persians who had been left for the purpose at Babylon by the, river-side, entered the stream, which had now sunk so as to reach about midway up a man's thigh, and thus got into the town. Had the Babylonians been apprised of what Cyrus was about, or had they noticed their danger, they would never have allowed the Persians to enter the city, but would have destroyed them utterly; for they would have made fast all the street gates which gave access to the river, and mounting upon the walls along both sides of the stream, would so have caught the enemy, as it were, in a trap. But, as it was, the Persians came upon them by surprise and so took the city. Owing to the vast size of the place, the inhabitants of the central parts (as the residents at Babylon declare) long after the outer portions of the town were taken, knew nothing of what had chanced, but as they were engaged in a festival, continued dancing and reveling until they learnt about the capture. Such, then, were the circumstances of the first taking of Babylon(Histories, 1.191)".

Cyrus takes over Babylon, and when he makes his grand entrance into the city, Daniel greets him, and presents Cyrus with the ancient scroll of Isaiah.  According to Josephus, another highly respected historian, Cyrus was not only impressed by what he read, but it had empowered him.

"This was known to Cyrus by his reading the book which Isaiah left behind him of his Prophecies. For this Prophet said, that God had spoken thus to him in a secret vision: 'My will is, that Cyrus, whom I have appointed to be King over many and great nations, send back my people to their own land, and build my temple.' This was foretold by Isaiah one hundred and forty years before the temple was demolished. Accordingly when Cyrus read this, and admired the divine power, an earnest desire and an ambition seized upon him, to fulfill what was so written(Antiquities of the Jews XI, Chapter 1.2)".

Not only did Daniel's prophecy of Belshazzar being conquered by the Medes and Persians get fulfilled that same night, he presented Cyrus with a message from God that calls him by name, and was written by the prophet Isaiah over 120 years before Cyrus was Born. The passage even mentions how Cyrus's plan to divert the Euphrates in order to lower the river was all part of God's plan for him.  

"Who says to the
