1/n Marx theory of history seems to have huge similarity with the Book of Daniels.

Do read the "Book of Daniels" to believe what I write further.

2/n As per the Marx's theory of history there are four great periods of history.

According to that theory, the 4th one is capitalism.

People can argue that it was Marx's version of the Roman Catholic Church.

3/n And when Capitalism will be shown a way out,"golden age of Capitalism" will return.

Now, again one also needs to go through in detail analysis of Marx's theory of History to relate with the "Book of Daniels".

4/n Where was Marx getting all these from?

So, he was deeply influenced by the great German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel which led him to divide history into four epochs.

5/n Hegel's working was confined within the German tradition of dividing history into four great phases.

That tradition of four phases was established by 15th-16th century German Theologian Thomas Müntzer during the phase of reformation.

6/n Thomas was opposing the Roman Catholic Church and directly referring his things from the "Book of Daniel."

So one can conclude by deep reading that Marx's theory of history was derived from Jewish apocalyptic tradition supported by many other situations.
