From Chapter 9:3-14 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam points to the godly attitude of Daniel, as he identifies with the sins of his people Israel. While God’s Word doesn’t mention any personal sin in Daniel’s life, he suffered along with his people. In his prayer of confession, Daniel said, "we have sinned and have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have rebelled". Daniel, in his prayer and supplication before God, admitted to the disobedience of the whole nation, including the prophets, the kings, the princes and the fathers. Daniel understood that God's judgment was poured out on Israel because of God's promise in the law of Moses. Now that the seventy years of captivity were coming to an end, Daniel wanted God to fulfill His promise to restore His people of Israel back to Himself, and to their land.
