How did the prophet Daniel live under God's will?

Answer 1

A:The Book of Daniel says that Daniel was steadfast in his worship of God, regardless ofthe dangers placed in his way. He became the second most important person in the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar, although Nebuchadnezzar's son and successor seems not to have known about him. On the same evidence, he subsequently became the second most important person in the Persian empire, after Darius conquered the Babylonians.

However, biblical scholars say that the Book of Daniel was a second-century-BCE novel, written long after the Babylonian Exile that was the setting for the book. Just one of the many historical errors is that it was Cyrus the Great who conquered Babylon, not Darius. From a historical perspective, there never was a Daniel, so he never really lived under God's will.
