2:28 a God in heaven: Daniel proclaimed one true God who rules all things (2:20-21), not a limited local deity such as the ones the Babylonians worshiped. The God of Daniel’s ancestors (2:23) is the God in heaven who reveals secrets. The Babylonian gods could not do this. • what will happen: In the ancient world, dreams were often understood as revealing the future.
