1. Immediately after the vision of Daniel 8, what did Daniel learn from his study of the prophecy of
Jeremiah?
Answer
"In the first year of Darius . . . I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the
word of the Lord came lo Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations
of Jerusalem." Dan. 9: 1, 2.
NOTE-The first deportation to Babylon, when Daniel and his companions were carried captive,
was in 606 BC., and the seventy years of Jeremiah's prophecy would therefore expire in 536 BC. The first
year of Darius was 538 BC., and the restoration period was therefore only two years distant from that time.
