“In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.”
In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, Daniel receives a vision by the Ulai River, establishing the apocalyptic content of the book's second half. This temporal marker connects to the first vision in chapter 2, reinforcing recurring divinely appointed moments when God reveals future kingdoms. The shift from narrative to pure visionary experience signals intensification of prophetic revelation, moving from Babylonian court intrigue to cosmic perspective on human empires.
