DANIEL

DANIEL
   probably the most important apocalyptic book in the HEBREW BIBLE. It tells the story of Daniel and his companions who are taken as slaves to BABYLON and contains a series of VISIONS depicting events which are to take place in the future. Traditionally the book is dated in the sixth century B.C. although most critical scholars date it to around 165 B.C.
