The warnings were unheeded and the invaders warned about crushed Israel under their heel. The heartbreak of exile began. The darkness seemed to have won. But into the darkness prophets spoke again, with Daniel, a man who defied kings, speaking of a coming figure who would one day rule over even the nations that towered over Israel. As empires rose and fell, in the wake of the trauma of exile this promise seemed a forlorn hope. Until the dream of the exile became a reality.
