The Book of the prophet Daniel (621-535 BC) consists of 12 chapters, including a mixture of historical events and future prophecies.

Chapter 1 focuses on Daniel's background. He was a young man when Jerusalem was destroyed, taken captive to Babylon, and educated with three friends to serve in the king's court. These four men sought to not defile themselves with the king's unclean foods and were blessed as a result, being selected for high positions in the kingdom.

Chapters 2—7 cover problems and prophecies related to the nations or Gentiles. King Nebuchadnezzar faces a problem, and Daniel and his friends provide God's wisdom (Daniel 2—4). King Belshazzar's wickedness leads to his downfall (Daniel 5). Later, Daniel is miraculously delivered from the lion's den, while those who falsely accused him were eaten by the lions (Daniel 6).

In Daniel 7, he has a dream regarding the future of the Gentile nations.

Chapters 8—12 shift to additional future prophecies regarding Israel and the nations.

Chapter 8 includes the prophecy of the ram and male goat.

Chapter 9 discusses the important prophecy of the seventy weeks, describing both Israel's return to the land and her distant future.

Chapters 10—12 speak of a future restoration involving the Messiah, various kingdoms (Ptolemaic and Seleucidic), and God's ultimate plan for His people (BibleRef).

The chapters 1 through 6 are originally written in Aramaic and the chapters 7 through 12 in Hebrew.
