Meaning
“God is my judge”
Daniel foi um profeta e homem sábio que serviu nos impĂ©rios babilĂ´nico e persa. Do hebraico Daniyyel, que significa "Deus Ă© meu juiz" ou "Deus julgou" - o nome combina Dan (juiz) com El (Deus). Levado ao exĂlio ainda jovem, Daniel se destacou por sua sabedoria e fidelidade inabalável a Deus. Famoso por ter sobrevivido Ă cova dos leões e por interpretar sonhos, Daniel recebeu visões profĂ©ticas sobre reinos futuros e a vinda do Messias. Sua integridade, vida de oração e coragem diante da perseguição o tornam um modelo exemplar de fĂ©.
