The prophet Daniel is a historical icon of the people of Israel, although he is more
special to Christian theology. It is especially important for being the prophet with the most
revelations received in a historical context and even in great detail, addressing global
issues of geopolitics and conquest centuries before such occurred. Although, this man is
much more for Christianity than for the Jews themselves, and that is why I have dedicated
this work to him, since, unlike what would happen to a greater extent with Judaism, within
Christianity he is largely a turning point in eschatology.
The name 'Daniel' means in Hebrew "God is my judge" or "judgment of God",
although during his stay in Babel (Babylon) he was called in Akkadian 'Balatsu usur' ("Bel
protects the king"), transcribed to Spanish as 'Beltsasar'. He was one of the sons of the
Jewish aristocracy who were taken out of Israel by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, during
the time of Iahoikin (Joachim), king of Judah, that is, he was taken captive back in 598 or
597 BC. C., although it is not officially known how old he was when he was taken, or his
year of birth itself. Something that recently came to be known is that the book of Daniel
enjoyed great popularity among the essence community, there is much information that
emphasizes his writing in the Qumran Caves, even considering it "canonical" (the Jews
did not put Daniel with the compendium of manuscripts of the Nebiím (Prophets) but with
the merely historical ones, the Ketubim (Writings)). In fact, if the popularity of a book is
judged by the number of copies of copies found in the caves, Daniel - with its 8 scrolls -
would occupy 4th place, together with the book of the 12 prophets (Deuteronomy has 14
manuscripts, Isaiah is 12, and the Samos are 10).
