The Book of Daniel

The book of Daniel begins off with 6 accounts about Daniel and his three friends; these are found in the first six chapters of Daniel.  Included in this section is the familiar story of Daniel in the lion's den.

The last half of the book (chapters 7 to 12) contains four visions from God about the future.  Because of this, the book of Daniel, along with the book of Revelation, is sometimes called an apocalyptic book, or book about the end times.  These visions are easy to understand on a basic level, but their deeper meaning can be challenging to fully grasp.

In some versions of the Bible (the Apocrypha) there are two additional chapters included in the book of Daniel, giving more accounts of his life and actions.
