📚 Historical Context
In the sixth century BC, during the Babylonian Empire, Daniel was a Jewish exile who had gained a reputation for his extraordinary wisdom and ability to interpret dreams, as seen in earlier chapters of the book. King Belshazzar, the ruler at the time, was hosting a lavish feast when a mysterious hand wrote on the wall, causing him great fear and prompting him to seek out Daniel. Belshazzar had heard from his advisors that Daniel possessed the spirit of the gods, which gave him insight and understanding far beyond ordinary human capabilities.
