- Abstract
The apocalyptic book of Daniel opens its pages with a historical allusion about the fall of Jerusalem by the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Particularly stops at a specific event: the appropriation of the “vessels of the house of God” and his transfer to the temple in Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. This event unprecedented in the history of ancient Israel seems to point out some important theological aspects that will be developed throughout the prophetic writing. Although most of the specialists in the book of Daniel have warned, however, there is a lack of further investigation into the theological significance of the profanation / usurpation of the temple utensils and its connection with the measures taken against the young Hebrews in Chapter 1, and finally, his contribution to the message of the whole book of Daniel. The plan of the present article will address in detail the introductory text of Daniel 1,2 through (a) the study of the concept of profanation in the context of the Hebrew Bible; (b) an analyses of its linguistic and theological connection with the rest of Daniel chapter 1; and (c) to consider some theological relations with the rest of the book and other biblical references. The article will end with some implications for biblical apocalyptic prophecy and its possible understanding of a philosophy of history.
