THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
The answer
Disagree. The book never mentions the rededication, or the death of Antiochus IV at about the same time. Its last vision ends the king's story with a death the writer still awaited (Daniel 11:45). That silence is one reason most scholars date the visions before December 164 BC.
Why it’s interesting
Writing under an ancient name was the usual form for visions of this kind. The writer most likely spoke as a sage of the 500s BC. That let him tell events already past as things still to come, which gave weight to what he said would follow.
