An ApplicationJER 27:6 pointed out that God was using Neby. Not an abusive or malicious use, like we humans are familiar with, but God surely influenced DAN 2:5. God was clearly setting Daniel up for success, though if Daniel didn't already trust God then it would've been real easy to misinterpret the situation. There were plenty of times God used what seemed impossible to show His power, and give His people an opportunity to reveal their faith. And He still does today.

Connect the DotsThe reconciliation between DAN 1:18 & 2:1 has been lost. Daniel was no slacker, so chances are he had a reason for why he described the timing this way. It's interesting trivia that Daniel has overlapping chiasms (link). / Compare Daniel and Neby to Joseph and Pharoah (GE 41:8,14).
