Jewish Prophets
Daniel
Prophet to: Foreign Nation
Quick History
Daniel was taken captive at Nebuchadnezzar's first attack on Jerusalem in 607 BC. He became a chief minister in Babylon and famous for visions and interpretation of dreams.
In the third year of Cyrus (conqueror of Babylon, and founder of the Persian Empire) Daniel had a series of visions through which God revealed details of the future concerning the Jews as well as the ultimate fate of each world governing empire from his own day on through to the second coming of Christ. He specifically mentions Babylon, and then Mede-Persia, and then Greece, and the fourth being the most powerful, was the Roman empire. Daniel was a man of incredible character and his book is considered one of the most important prophetic works.
