Post Exile※

c. 530 BC

First view (and traditional one) is that Daniel was written immediately after the Babylonian exile ended and "many Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple." Daniel's prophetic visions revealed successive empires that would follow, "one after the other as well as providing backdrop of God's eternal," unshakeable kingdom continuing in spite of the earthly upheaval and power struggles. The scholarly view is that the "prophecy" of Daniel was written in the 2nd Century B.C. during the time of the Seleucid dynasty. Note that in Jewish scripture, Daniel is not considered a prophet and is not included among the prophetic books.
