, I believe that we can place the Serpent in Daniel's time even though the Old Testament never mentions the Serpent after Hezekiah had it destroyed in the Second Book of Kings.

"However, even I would not claim that this is absolute proof ofDaniel 's historical existence or that it unequivocally helps to authenticate his prophecies.

"Then, as I pored over the scroll, it hit me. Actually, it was when I was taking a break in the lounge, when I passed the NO SMOKING sign I've passed a thousand times before, that it hit me. You know the international slash-through sign for taking all the joys out of everybody's life?

"Well, I thought this mark here over the symbol for the king-that would be Nebuchadnezzar-this line aiming at his head, was just a decay line or some dirt on the scroll. But I re-alized it was the writer of the scroll doing his version of a NO SMOKING symbol, except he was saying `no king.' That wouldn't make sense though, for a high priest to be making a sign against his king. After all, what if the scroll fell into his enemies' hands? One look at thèno king' line there and you can bet there would quickly be no high priest's head instead. Unless, I realized,KingNebuchadnezzar had said it was okay to do away with his own head."

"You meanKingNebuchadnezzar committed suicide?" someone asked.

"Not suicide as we know it, no, but he did have himself destroyed. Again in the Book of Daniel, we learn that Nebuchadnezzar let the news of his supreme empire, the Golden Head of his dream statue, go to his own head.
