The setting
Babylon, 536 BC. Daniel, now in his 80s, receives his final and most detailed vision by the Tigris River. Modern-day Iraq, near Baghdad.

The original word
moed (מוֹעֵד) — appointed time, divine schedule beyond human control
Why it matters
This prophecy was fulfilled 400 years later when Antiochus IV's second Egyptian campaign failed due to Roman intervention
Read with care
What most readers miss in Daniel 11:29
