Le titre de l'ouvrage peut paraitre etrange aujourd'hui. Il ne l'etait pas en 1655, car la frequentation de la Bible etait quotidienne et la prophetie de Daniel sans cesse scrutee. Aucun prophete ne fut tant requis que Daniel. Reformateurs, utopistes, politiques, hommes de science, de Luther a Newton, sans oublier Cromwell et tant d'autres, catholiques et protestants, appelaient impatiemment de leurs voeux les temps nouveaux. Dans ce siecle de fer, il revenait a Menasseh ben Israel - le plus celebre rabbin du XVIIe siecle, l'ami de Rembrandt - d'offrir l'interpretation juive de l'histoire, voire de la discuter avec audace au sein meme du judaisme. La restauration imminente du peuple de Dieu se ferait en terre d'Israel. Elle inaugurerait une nouvelle histoire dans laquelle juifs et justes non juifs du monde entier vivraient dans une heureuse concorde. Cependant, la guerre civile ravageait l'Angleterre. Des extremistes s'emparaient du livre de Daniel pour menacer Cromwell. Menasseh ben Israel se rendit a Londres et presenta son ouvrage au Lord Protecteur. Il y trouva non seulement de quoi faire taire ses adversaires, mais encore la possibilite de donner a l'Angleterre un role messianique. La Pierre glorieuse devint alors comme un passeport pour le retour des juifs chasses depuis le XIIIe siecle. Ce retour fut percu par de nombreux chretiens comme le premier pas vers l'installation des juifs dans leur terre ancestrale.
