 Interestingly enough, Daniel again, because of the prowess of his nature, because of the character of his life, because of the impact he had made on society, maintained his position in the empire even though the structure of the empire changed. So Daniel is still prime minister in a foreign land. Some scholars believe it's about 537 B.C. or so, and Israel has been captive or Judah has been captive nearly 70 years by now.
