Please Note: This and the next four books in this website posting (as you scroll down) are called the 'Major Prophets' because of the lengths of their books. They contain God's warning of judgment, and of hope for the near and distant future (for the coming of the Messiah).
The Book of Daniel is the twenty-seventh book of the Bible as we wrap up our review of the 'Major Prophets' section of the Bible:
Who wrote Daniel and when?
It was written by Daniel in the 605-530 BC time frame.
What is it all about?
From a summary perspective, Daniel wrote this to share prophecy and Apocalyptic insights for the Israelites in captivity, as well as for all of us since that time. And if we look across the chapters of his book, we see all the insights shared (his accounting of): his captivity, his training under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, his interpretation of the King's dreams, what happens to his friends Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego when they do not bow down to the image of the King, of Daniel's time in the Lion's den, his visions received from God, the warnings the God wanted him to share and of the End Times to come.
