What happened to Daniel's position when the Medes and Persians took over Babylon?
Daniel retained high authority after Babylon fell. He had been the second man in the Babylonian kingdom, but when the Medes and Persians overran Babylon, he ended up as the second man in the Persian kingdom. His position remained second in command under the new empire.
Les explains that Daniel had been the second man in the Babylonian kingdom. But when the Medes and the Persians overrun Babylon, Daniel ends up as the second man in the Persian kingdom. Les calls this amazing and says Daniel must have been some sort of a man. Cyrus is now the Persian king, and when the seventy years are expired, God uses Cyrus to proclaim that all the kingdoms of the earth have been given to him and that he is charged to build a house in Judah.
