Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old Testament, John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck, eds. (Wheaton,
IL: Victor Books, 1985), 1,224–25. Ezekiel’s first mention of Daniel, in chapter 14, took place
between September 17, 592 B.C. (8:1) and August 14, 591 B.C. (20:1). Daniel had already been

serving in the court of Nebuchadnezzar for about a decade when Ezekiel used him as an
example in this chapter.

“An examination of the Old and New Testament canons reveals that only two books contain
material that conforms to the above criteria: the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel
(particularly chaps. 7–12). Therefore it seems best to limit the canonical apocalyptic material
to these two compositions.” Stephen R. Miller, Daniel, New American Commentary (Nashville:
