Prophet Daniel Research Paper

From the biblical representation of Daniel the prophet started when he along with other men from Judah were imprisoned by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Daniel 1:1-4) for about 604 B.C. this imprisonment of Judah’s citizens in Babylon continued for about seventy years, as it was predicted by God through Prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:11). Daniel was the character that was seen as “Empire forecasting prophet”. Without a doubt, Daniel was a translator of imaginings, and from his interpretation, God revealed his plans for the kingdoms which will rise up to supremacy in world history.

As the account of his prayer life revealed in the key verse (Daniel 6:10): “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before” .

But fortunately the attack was unsuccessful when God closed the lion’s mouth. Although his attackers were confident and sure that they would kill him, but God sent an angel to “shut the lion’s mouth” (Daniel 6:22) and this saved the life of Daniel
