“And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.”
Daniel sees himself in the citadel of Susa, though the historical setting remains Babylon—a visionary displacement that emphasizes the supernatural nature of the experience and its independence from physical location. This detail demonstrates how divine revelation transcends earthly geography and political boundaries. The specificity of place grounds the mystical vision in concrete reality, maintaining the book's integration of heavenly and earthly realms.
