The focus of the Book of Daniel is on the idea of Yahweh’s universal sovereignty over His creation, and over history.  This is revealed in two ways; first, through a series of narratives about the life of Daniel and his associates where God demonstrated His sovereignty even over powerful monarchs and emperors; and second, through prophetic revelations regarding how He would guide the unfolding history of the future.
