>>16884832>Although Revelation rarely quotes directly from the Old Testament, it is permeated with allusions and echoes in almost every verse. Over half of the references are to Daniel, Ezekiel, Psalms, and Isaiah, with Daniel providing the largest number in proportion to length and Ezekiel standing out as the most influential.Daniel was a cool dude, besides being one of the most influential figures in Revelations he had visions and interpreted dreams, and he was thrown into a Lions den and came out unharmed. The same King threw 3 dudes into a fire and was amazed to see a 4th among them and they all came out unharmed as well.
Daniel means Judged By God, as most names or words that end in "El" refer to God. Samuel, Raphael, Emanuel, Michael, etc.
