The prophet Daniel , described by God's angel as a " very desirable man," lived a long life of faithfull service. { Daniel 10:11 ,19 }
His integrity to Jehovah remained intact from his exile in 617 B.C.E until his death some time after he recieved a vision in 536 B.C.E , the third year of Cyrus , King of Persia. { Daniel 1:1;10:1 }
Some time during the third year of Cyrus, Daniel recieved a vision of the march of world powers that culminates in the comeing great tribulation. { Daniel 11:1-12:13 }
As he could not fully understand the vision , Daniel asked the angelic messenger who delivered it: " O my lord, what will be the final part of theses things ? "
In answer the angel called attention to " the time of the end, " during which the ones haveing insite will understand."
As for Daniel himself , what was his prospects ?
