Daniel 8:2Wrench

BACK NEXT
I'm looking into the vision, πŸ˜‡.
It fills my mind's eye: I'm in [Persia,] in the hidden province [Elam,] in the Castle of Suza, [the capitol city of the vast Persian Empire, in the palace where little Jewish orphan Esther became Queen of the world].
I see into the vision. [Spirit power whisks me away.
It drops me standing]
on the [middle of Iran's] Ulai river-canal.

Note: Daniel apparently worked with Queen Esther and her husband, the Persian Emperor Astyages (aka Artaxerxes/Ahusuerus, aka Darius [Maintainer], father of Cyrus).
See Dan 8:27. On coins and monuments, Persia is symbolized by a Ram.
