📚 Historical Context
In the sixth century BC, during the Babylonian exile, the prophet Daniel served in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar, who had conquered Jerusalem and taken many Jews captive. The king was troubled by a mysterious dream that his own wise men could not interpret, as he refused to reveal its details, testing their abilities. Daniel, through divine revelation, stepped forward to explain the dream, demonstrating God's authority over earthly kings and future events.
