How is the death of Christ set forth in the prophecies of Daniel?

The Book of Daniel never mentions Jesus, either by name or in any way that could identify him. There is no prophecy of Jesus.
However, Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says there is a trick that he sees happen all the time, in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont. At first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in The Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick seems to come naturally when studying the Bible. So, using this method, th Book of Daniel can be made to predict the death of Jesus, the birth of Albert Einstein or any other thing we set our minds to. It is that simple.
One interesting use of this method says that Artaxerxes told the Jews to return to Jerusalem in 453 BCE (they actually returned half a century earlier, around 500 BCE) and rebuild the city. This is 483 years before 30 CE, one popular estimate of the year of the crucifixion of Jesus (another popular estimate is 33 CE, because the year 30 does not fit well with the longer mission of John's Gospel, but there are others). An obscure calculation based on Daniel 9:24, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city ..." and relying on the seventy weeks really being seventy years, can finally come up with a figure of 483. Bingo! The death of Jesus has been prophesied. Daniel would have been proud.

Why don't Christians know that the word mass in Hebrew means death so how could we have a merry Christ-mass?
The term "Mass" in the context of Christmas comes from the Latin word "Missa" meaning "to send forth". It is from this word that the Catholic Mass gets it's name, since the idea is that when attends, they receive Jesus Christ both in Word (scripture) and in Eucharist (sacrament), and then "goes forth" into the world to witness for Christ. Christ's Mass on the 25th is just the day to mark the birth of Jesus Christ as man and declare Him to the world. It has nothing to do with a Hebrew word "Mass".Answer:The "mass" is not observed by Christians, but by catholics, which according to Biblical doctrine, are not Christians. They like being called Christian in order for them to be accepted more in societyAnswer:The question is wrong. There's no word "mass" in Hebrew. The Hebrew word for death is mavet; and a dead person is meis (also pronounced meit).
How is the annunciation a story of hope?
The annunciation is the angel Gabriel's announcement to the virgin Mary that the 'power of the highest should overshadow her', and that she should bring forth a son, Jesus. The story of hope is Jesus Christ himself, for through his death he destroyed him who had the power over death, the devil; and gave eternal life to those who believe in him.

Roman Catholic Answer: "The wonderful works of God among the people of the Old Testament were but a prelude to the work of Christ the Lord in redeeming mankind and giving perfect glory to God. He accomplished this work principally by the Paschal mystery of His blessed Passion, Resurrection from the dead, and glorious Ascension, whereby 'dying he destroyed our death rising he restored our life.' For it was from the side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth 'the wondrous sacrament of the whole Church.'" Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1067

What foreign powers dominated palestine at the end of the Old Testament?
It was the mighty Roman power.another answerActually they were under the control of the Persian empire at the time that the last book (Malachi) of the Old Testament was written, and shortly before the time when Alexander the Great came on the scene and conquered most of the known world. This last book was wrote around 400 years before the birth of Christ.A reason for wanting to deviate from this date is a result of wanting to take a book like Daniel and claim that it was wrote at a much later date than it would claim by its content, and so making it the last book of the Old Testament. According to Daniel, wrote by Daniel, it was wrote by this man near the end of the Babylonian Empire and into the onset of the Mede-Persian empire (around 530-576 BC)The desire of critics to want to make the book of a much later date and by a different author, posing as said Daniel, results mainly from the detailed accuracy given in many of Daniels prophecies. These prophecies are very specific concerning the end of the Persian Empire by the rise and conquering by Alexander the great, along with his early untimely death, and the resulting split of his empire among his generals and the long back and forth battles between those split off sections of Alexander's old empire, especially between the Ptolemic dynasty of northern Africa and the Seleucid of the Syrian region, whereby Palestine become a battleground and a punching bag between these then world powers. All of this was prophesied about in Daniel in a very detailed fashion, centuries before it happened.The reasoning was that because the prophecy was so specific pertaining to these things, and the stylistic use of both the Aramaic and Hebrew, switched back and forth in a book obviously not all wrote at the same time, that then therefore it must mean that the book of Daniel was not wrote by this person but by some Jew at a later date. That is, it must be wrote beyond the date of these happenings and so was actually a writing of history and not a prophecy.Thus placing the Old Testament closing near the time of the rise of Rome, or at least later in the Seleucid empire, rather than the time claimed in the Text.There are other things involved but as plausible as it might sound at first glance, this is a very tired old attempt that is full of holes and contradicts many ancient historical sources that testify to the veracity of Daniel ; Christ himself claims that Daniel was wrote by the Daniel of the book of Daniel by referencing a passage of that Book as being by Daniel the Prophet etc et.That the Daniel of this book wrote this book and at the time the book demands in a historical context has been shown to be historically true, over and over again and the claims to the contrary have likewise been demonstrated time and again to be completely false and mere conjecture, and speculation with no legitimate basis in reality.So, recap: Persia was in power at the close of the Old Testament (Malachi).
