Bible Study Book Of Daniel Lesson # 1
The book of Daniel is prophetic and apocalyptic literature about a faithful servant of Yahweh living in Babylonian exile. Daniel’s prophetic visions offer hope that God will bring all nations under his rule.
The Book of Daniel, also called The Prophecy Of Daniel, is a book of the Old Testament found in the Ketuvim (Writings), the third section of the Jewish canon, but placed among the Prophets in the Christian canon. The first half of the book (chapters 1–6) contains stories in the third person about the experiences of Daniel and his friends under Kings Nebuchadrezzar II, Belshazzar, Darius I, and Cyrus II; the second half, written mostly in the first person, contains reports of Daniel’s three visions (and one dream). The second half of the book names as author a certain Daniel who, according to chapter 1, was exiled to Babylon.
