Dec 9, 2013 at 3:46 comment added user2910 The statement in Daniel 12.1, 'such as never has been since there was a nation till that time', seems to be a relatively common type of hyperbole in Hebrew literature. Compare Exodus 10.14 and 11.6, Ezekiel 5.9 and 16.16, Joel 2.2, and Matthew 24.21.
Dec 9, 2013 at 3:42 comment added user2910 Daniel 9.11,13 mentions 'the Law of Moses', the author is clearly conscious of the Torah. Given this, I think it's probable the author is referring back to the 'scroll' in Exodus 32.32-33 (cf. Psalm 69.28). How that plays into the theology of the Book of Daniel is beyond the scope of this.
