Daniel is considered a Major Prophet among the numerous prophetical authors of the books within the Old Testament. Not because of the size or volume of his work, as is usually the case with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, but because of the depth and intensity of what God had him to pen.
His book is, by many, considered to be the "Revelation" of the Old Testament. And a number of subject-trains from his work make their way into the roundhouse of the Book of Revelation, that was written by the Apostle John, when he was exiled onto the Isle of Patmos.
Daniel was a young man when he was taken into captivity, from the Israeli Southern Kingdom of Judah along with his three friends, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael. Nebuchadnezzar swept in and removed captives back into Babylon, several times: and Daniel's removal was one of the last.
The more well-known events that the book contains are: the dream about the Statue Image of Kingdoms to come; the Fiery Furnace incident with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; Nebuchadnezzar's Insanity occurrence; the Handwriting on the Wall within the palace; Daniel in the Lion's Den; and History and End-time Events.
The book has been enhanced for the purpose of clarity and understanding for the average reader, not for the purpose of altering the word of God.
Please enjoy, and if you do, then share this work with others.
