Daniel
Daniel blends historical narrative and apocalyptic prophecy during the Babylonian exile. It highlights the unwavering faith of Daniel and his companions under pagan rule, while unveiling divine visions that span empires and foreshadow the Messiah’s kingdom. Iconic moments include the fiery furnace, the lion’s den, and the statue dream in Daniel 2. The "Son of Man" vision (Daniel 7) deeply influenced both Jewish eschatology and Christian messianic hope.
