And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.

Daniel 8:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Daniel is in Babylon, but within the vision he sees himself transported to Susa, the fortified capital of the province of Elam in the Persian heartland, standing beside the Ulai Canal. The verse sets the stage for the ram and goat vision that follows, placing the seer at the very center of the empire whose rise and fall the vision will trace.
