For modern Bible scholars, either the verses make no claim of predicting future events, or the verses make no claim of speaking about the Messiah. [2] [3] [4] They view the argument that Jesus is the Messiah because he has fulfilled prophecy as a fallacy, i.e. it is a confession of faith masquerading as objective rational argumentation. [101]
Jewish eschatology is the area of Jewish theology concerned with events that will happen in the end of days and related concepts. This includes the ingathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of the Jewish Messiah, the afterlife, and the resurrection of the dead.
[citation needed] Critics claim this is just a required reinterpretation of the prophecy. [9] [12] In rabbinic thinking, the reestablishment of the Davidic kingdom was tied to the Messiah, who was to be a descendant of King David. He would redeem the Jews from exile and reestablish their independence in the land of Israel. [13]
The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th-century BC setting.

' Ingathering of the Exiles '), or the Ingathering of the Jewish diaspora, is the biblical promise of Deuteronomy 30:1–5, made by Moses to the Israelites prior to their entry into the Land of Israel.
Images of Israel, in which Israel is seen as a harlot bride, among other things; [12] The "valley of dry bones", in which the prophet sees the dead of the house of Israel rise again; [13] The destruction of Gog and Magog, in which Ezekiel sees Israel's enemies destroyed and a new age of peace established; [14]
The climax comes with the prophecy of the resurrection of the dead. [4] Chapter 7 spoke of the kingdom of the saints or "holy ones" of the Most High", [5] but Daniel 10–12 does not say that history will end with the coming of the Jewish kingdom; rather, the "wise" will be brought back to life to lead Israel in the new kingdom of God.
