• “You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities” (Amos 3:2). Their responsibility was according to their light, and because they were Jehovah’s people; for as such they were His witnesses (Isa. 43:8-13), and Jerusalem was His candlestick in the midst of the nations. When, therefore, Israel became worse than even the surrounding nations, and the king of Judah made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen (2 Chron. 33:9), the Lord, after many warnings and much long-suffering (2 Chron. 36:14-20), executed the judgment which He had threatened, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, who “burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon” (2 Chron. 36:19-20). The dominion of the earth was from that point forward committed to the king of Babylon (see Dan. 2:37-38), and it is in the midst of this new order of things, as a true remnant and seed preserved of God, that Daniel and his companions are found in the first chapter of our prophet. (“Daniel: Introduction” by E. Dennett)
• The book is divided into two equal arts—Daniel 1-6 forming the first, and Daniel 7-12 the second part. The first part is wholly made up of the visions and actings of the Gentile monarchs and their subordinate authorities....the two things are interwoven, the character of the Gentile powers, and the suffering condition of the remnant and their final deliverance from under the Gentile persecuting dominion. The second part of the book, commencing with Daniel 7, contains the prophetic visions, with their interpretations, received by Daniel; and they embrace the course, character, and destiny of the Gentile empires, which followed the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. ...Finally, in the long vista of the future opened up to the prophet, the Gentile governments are displaced by the Son of Man. (“Daniel: Introduction” by E. Dennett)
