RT Article T1 Constitualised space in Daniel 9 JF HTS teologiese studies VO 60 IS 1/2 SP 607 OP 624 A1 Venter, P. M. LA English YR 2004 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1946141321 AB The prayer in Daniel 9 theologically paved the way for prayers in the later synagogue. In this chapter the Daniel tradents linked a traditional penitential prayer to an apocalyptic narrative. Through this combination their view that man has to wait upon God to change history, is extended into a life of sanctification, teaching, fasting and the offering of penitence. As these tradents were estranged from the temple, they had to find somewhere else to conduct their liturgical services. Their apocalyptic mythological view of the temple enabled them to constitualise holy space away from the material temple. In this way they paved the way for the synagogue as house of prayer in later times.
