Daniel 11:36 KJV
> And the king shall do according to his will; and **he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above *every* god**, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
The author of Daniel is stating that the wilful king will exalt and magnify himself וְיִתְרוֹמֵ֤ם וְיִתְגַּדֵּל֙ **above** ***every*** god. Does this include YHWH? Can one exalt and magnify themselves **above** YHWH? Or can a Bible author believe one can exalt themselves above YHWH? Wouldn’t such a thing be challenging God’s omnipotence? I don’t see anywhere in scripture where the author describes someone exalting themselves *above* God.
