God reveals deep and hidden things, knows what lies in darkness, and dwells in light—this assertion completes the description of divine omniscience and sovereignty. The juxtaposition of God knowing hidden secrets (the dream) and the wise men's failure to access them establishes the epistemological divide definitively: only God knows mysteries; human wisdom serves His purposes but cannot independently grasp transcendent truth. The metaphorical language of darkness and light suggests moral and spiritual dimensions; what human understanding cannot penetrate remains clear to God. Daniel's continued blessing establishes the theological framework that will make his interpretation authoritative: he speaks not as an interpreter offering scholarly analysis but as a prophet channeling God's revelation.
