- Daniel:
-
- "The prophet Daniel was a contemporary of the prophet Ezekiel. He is even mentioned in Eze 14:14, 20 and 28:3. Although he lived somewhat earlier than Esther, the events in his life were similar to hers. Both Daniel and Esther (and Joseph too) rose to a place of high position in the court of a foreign king. God used their positions to save his people from annihilation. In the lives of these three individuals we can see the hand of God at work in the details of everyday life." (John H. Sailhamer, THE NIV COMPACT BIBLE COMMENTARY, © 1994 Zondervan, p. 396)
