My study starts from my question toward whether Dan 7, 8, 9, and 10-12 drily repeat the same revelation about eschatology. My thesis in this paper is that the view about eschatology in the Book of Daniel is gradually formulated according to the period which Daniel lived in. The common themes in both Daniel 1-6 and Daniel 7-12 are as follows: the exile is allowed by God; the exile comes to its end with the coming of the kingdom of God; the end of the exile does not come through human power; God deposes and sets up kings until the exile comes to its end. In Dan 7-12, the revelation about eschatology is gradually revealed through the historical element and revelatory element. Antiochus IV in Dan 7-12 shows its archetype of both Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar in that the first threatens the life of the diaspora by forcing the worship of the golden statue, and the latter commits a blasphemy. The first faith about eschatology is that the Babylonian empire perishes. While, however, the Babylonian empire still exists, Daniel receives new revelation about four kingdoms, a time, two times, half a time as a climax of persecution, the destruction of the fourth kingdom, and the coming of one like a human-being. It is not easy for Daniel to understand this new revelation. After Babylon destroyed, Daniel understands the end of exile does not come when Babylon destroys, but after seventy weeks. Now Daniel understands a time, two times, half a time is connected to the revelation of seventy weeks. Through new revelation in Dan 10-12, Daniel understands that four kingdoms and seventy weeks are connected each other. Moreover, Daniel receives the revelation about the event in the end of history.

이 논문은 다니엘서 7-12장에 종말에 관한 계시가 7장, 8장, 9장, 10-12장에서 네 번이나 반복해서 나타나는 이유로부터 출발한다. 이 연구에서 필자는 다니엘서의 연대를 이용하여 다니엘서에서 종말에 관한 신앙이 어떻게 형성되어 갔는지를 공시적으로 보여주고자 한다. 필자에 의하면, 다니엘서 7장부터 12장까지 종말에 관한 계시가 바벨론의 멸망, 네 왕국, 칠십 이레, 반 이레 등의 계시가 점진적으로 드러난다.
