In Daniel, the Gospel is presented in many ways and to many people, far beyond the borders of Israel. The good news is not just a promise of deliverance but a Person who is present in the darkest moments of life. That Person will come as the promised Messiah. When Jesus started preaching the Gospel, His first sermon pointed to Daniel's prophecy about the time of the Messiah. Jesus said that the fulfillment of that time was a call to repentance, to believe the Gospel.
