Daniel’s Prophetic Timelines: Rashi, the Vilna Tradition, and the Mystery of Redemption

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz

A deep and intellectually rich exploration of the prophetic timelines in Book of Daniel, focusing on the famous calculations of 1,290 and 1,335 days as interpreted by classical commentators such as Rashi, Saadia Gaon, Abraham ibn Ezra, and the Malbim. This piece examines how Jewish thought has approached messianic dates, why failed calculations do not necessarily invalidate the prophecy, and how Daniel’s coded visions offer multiple perspectives on exile, redemption, and the unfolding hope for Mashiach.
