Our episode underscores the value of integrity, as seen in Daniel's rise to prominence under both Babylonian and Persian rule, despite the political and social shifts. It also touches on the humility of leaders like Darius and Nebuchadnezzar who, despite their power, recognized the sovereignty of Daniel's God.
