How does the vision of Christ in Daniel relate to the concept of substitutionary atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The vision reflects the essence of Christ as our substitute, who fulfills the law and offers righteousness to believers.

In Daniel's vision, Christ is depicted in His glorified form, representing the ultimate fulfillment of the law and the sacrificial system. The prophecy at the end of chapter 9, which describes the Messiah being 'cut off, but not for himself,' directly points to the doctrine of substitutionary atonement. This underscores the belief that Christ's death and righteousness are applied to believers, freeing them from the condemnation of the law. Daniel's experience thus serves as a foreshadowing of the gospel message, where Christ's work is the cornerstone of salvation and reconciliation for sinners.
