Les Feldick Bible Study

Which Bible books were written by Jews outside the land of Palestine?

The books are Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. Ezekiel wrote from Shushan in Mede-Persia, Daniel from Babylon and Mede-Persia, and John from Patmos off Turkey's western coast. All three Jews wrote outside Palestine, and all use symbolic language. These are the three such books.

Les explains that there are three books in our Bible written by Jews from out of the land: Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. Daniel writes from Babylon and Mede-Persia; Ezekiel writes from the capital of Shushan and the Medes and Persians; John writes from the island of Patmos off the western coast of Turkey. He notes that they all write more or less in symbolic language, and that Ezekiel and Revelation have a perfect correlation.
