AB - The purpose of this study is to show how new revelation dispute in the 2nd c. influenced the formation of the Book of Daniel, and to examine the understanding of the dream and the vision used as the instrument of revelation in the formation of the Book of Daniel. Israelite community in the 2nd c. needed new revelation about eschatology under the persecution by Antiochus IV, the king of Greek. The contemporary apocalyptical form to contain new revelation is vision - throne vision - vision interpretation. Under the struggle between the Deuteronomistic demand not to add or subtract to the contents of the Torah, and new revelation, the Book of Daniel was formulated in the following stages, 1) The new revelation is received through the instrument of dream and vision. 2) Daniel is qualified to receive new revelation through dream and vision, since his faithfulness to the Torah is proved in Dan 1-6. 3) Dan 10-12 transformed vision into word according to prophetic tradition. 4) Furthermore, Dan 9 subjected vision about eschatology to Jeremiah’s words, exile-70-years, the word given to Jeremiah. Now vision, identical to 70 years, was interpreted as weeks. In sum, the book of Daniel presented the revelation about eschatology based on the Deuteronomistic theology by transforming apocalyptic genre. The meaning that the Book of Daniel gives to later communities is both receiving new revelation through dream and vision, and preventing new revelation by subjugating new revelation to the word. On the one hand, the demand not to add or subtract new revelation formulated the identity of Judaism. On the other hand, the Book of Daniel made possible the emergence of Christianity by showing the possibility of new revelation through dream and vision.
