We have now arrived at the most famous story in the Book of Daniel. As we’ve seen, this man of God ruled with “insight, intelligence, and wisdom” under Nebuchadnezzar (5:11). He had a reputation as a man with “an extraordinary spirit” (5:12), as one who had within him “the spirit of the gods.” “Insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom” (5:14) was the word on the street about him continuing into the reign of Belshazzar, the last Babylonian king.
