📚 Historical Context

During the Babylonian captivity in the 6th century BC, King Nebuchadnezzar had a disturbing dream and demanded that his wise men interpret it on pain of death, but none could. Daniel, a young Jewish exile from Judah, had sought God's help through prayer and received the dream's revelation, leading to his urgent summons before the king. Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, presented Daniel as a capable interpreter to save the wise men from execution.
