Do you think the people who wrote the Book of Revelation were aware of - or even well versed in - the Book of Daniel?
Yes

John wrote the book of Revelation from the island of Patmos while he was in prisoner prior to writing the gospel of John. However Revelation isn’t a re-hash if Daniel.

I’ve read some of the discussion but not the whole discussion.

Your discussion is on the book of revelation so I’ve seen some the areas that have been covered, and have introduced something that I hoped would be of interest. Revelation was for the time of the end and wouldn’t be fully understood until closer to the time of the end. We are now living at the time, the last days (of this system).

You surely don’t think that I would enter into a discussion on such a complex work without at least having read it? (And Daniel)

Have you read either ?

The thing about Revelation it clearly says that there is going to be an end, and an accounting for the things done in this life. It all matters!

I agree Kelly, but you can’t take it in isolation as there is an overlap between the statue of Daniel 2:44 and the 7 headed beast.

But the people who wrote the Book of Revelation were well able to ensure it tied in with what was said in the Book of Daniel, right?

Some might find that they are in denial about Daniel.

The Bible as a whole is connected, granted it was written in a span of 1500 or thereabout, forty authors from different walks of life, in three languages, on three continents and there is overlap and referencing each other. I'm just going through Revelation now; your input connecting it to Danial is welcome. For me, I don't spend a lot of time studying prophecy about end times, just knowing that its coming is enough. Regardless of how it all falls out, if I pass into the next life today, being right or wrong about specific events in the future in this life, it will not matter much to me; however, the next life that is a different level of importance.

Yes until I found out otherwise I’d always assumed that he’d written it last.

I’ve got a bit of time in my hands so I’ll have a quick look at the bits that I skipped .
