    The Book of Daniel is "a composite text of dubious historicity from various genres", [4] and Daniel himself is a legendary figure.

    The Book of Daniel is a 2nd century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th century BC setting. [1] Ostensibly "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon", [2] the text features a prophecy rooted in Jewish history, as well as a portrayal of the end times that is both cosmic in scope and political in its focus.

    The "anointed one cut off": Daniel 9 makes two references to an "anointed one", which has had major implications for Christian eschatology.

    The seventy weeks prophecy is internally dated to "the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, by birth a Mede" (Daniel 9:1), [34] later referred to in the Book of Daniel as "Darius the Mede" (e.g. Daniel 11:1); [35] however, no such ruler is known to history and the widespread consensus among critical scholars is that he is a literary fiction. [36]

    Daniel 7 (the seventh chapter of the Book of Daniel) tells of Daniel's vision of four world-kingdoms replaced by the kingdom of the saints or "holy ones" of the Most High, which will endure for ever.

    Daniel 4, the fourth chapter of the Bible's Book of Daniel, is presented in the form of a letter from king Nebuchadnezzar II [1] in which he learns a lesson of God's sovereignty, "who is able to bring low those who walk in pride". Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great tree that shelters the whole world, but an angelic "watcher" appears and decrees ...

  9. Daniel 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_8

    Daniel is the only book in the Hebrew Bible which gives names to angels. Gabriel may have received his because he "has the appearance of a man" (Hebrew gaber); he appears here as a messenger and interpreter of God's message, the same role he was later given by the author of Luke's annunciation scene (Luke 1:19,26).
