This is a pretty simple phrase. I think one must be very careful here to
insure that these "allusions" to Daniel are not simply part of the literary
genre of apocalyptic literature. You would have to make a complete study of
the many exta-biblical examples that have come down to us. The Old Testament
examples are not a large enough corpus to make this determination. .
Does anyone know if the Pseudoepigrapha is available in an electronic format
for this type of search?
