Is Biblical Eschatological Prophecy Fractal By Design?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Daniel 11 is Maccabean propaganda  dressed up as prophecy. It's wonderfully accurate until the time of the revolt and then utterly inaccurate afterward. I don't consider anything outside the Aramaic portions of Daniel as having genuine prophetic value, and my interpretation of those is not nearly so western-centric as is usual.

Daniel 8-12 fit too well as Maccabean propaganda wrapped around the original Aramaic core of Daniel 2-7 to discount that was the reason it was written. Could there be hidden prophecy in the propaganda? Yes, but that could be true of many other writings as well.

Incidentally, in the traditional interpretation, Persia is North, not South, with Egypt being the South.
