Top Highlights

“Out of the thirty-two biblical occurences of the Hebrew word qēṣ (end), fourteen come from the book of Daniel, nine” (Page 2)

“The result is always the same, bearing a double effect: death for the pagans and salvation and promotion for Daniel and his camp, showing that God is the judge of both.” (Page 12)

“The biblical notion of the ‘third,’ is commonly used in a perspective of destruction or of total victory.^{38” (Page 19)}

“Thus, Daniel evokes a religous power which, because of its fragility, needs to compromise with politics in order to insure its future.” (Page 16)

“Chapter 7 is related to chapter 12 on the motif of the Judgment and the Parousia” (Page 3)
