DANIEL 2:24
Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation.” [NKJV]
Then Daniel went to Arioch. King Nebuchadnezzar had chosen Arioch to put to death the wise men of Babylon. Daniel said to Arioch, “Don’t put the wise men of Babylon to death. Take me to the king. I will tell him what his dream means.” [ICB]
DANIEL BECAME A SUPREME COURT IN BABYLON
Who are you to tell the king's captain not to carryout the king's executive order? Are you the Supreme Court that should stop the Executive or Order issued by a monarch or ruler? Some local law enforcement officers would put it this way, 'So you are trying to teach us our job?'
In the Bible verse above, behold the confidence and authority by which Daniel approached the Captain (Arioch) that was appointed or charged by the king to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and Daniel issuing a different and contrary order to the king's Captain (Arioch) to disregard the king's earlier appointment or order to him, but to rather bring him Daniel to the king and he would resolve the king's matter with him directly. God's revelations to Daniel gave him those boldness, authority, wisdom and grace.
Actually, here are three ways Daniel acted like a Court of Competent jurisdiction or Judiciary in the Bible verse above:
*1.* Like a Court, Daniel was issuing an "Injunction;" except that Daniel's doing so orally, unlike Court's Injunction usually come as "Writ" or in written form, and not just oral and verbal.
*2.* Like a Court, Daniel was issuing a "Summon;" except that Daniel's summon wanted him to be brought or taken as "Mobile Court" to the king where the proceeding will be determined in the king's court or presence, unlike immobile Court's Summon that usually invites or orders the party of the recipient to appear before it or come to the court instead of the court going to them.
*3.* Like a Court, Daniel was to give "Substance and Interpretation;" except that Daniel's was to give Substance and Interpretation of the "King's Dream," while other court's would just determine the Substance and Interpretation of Constitutions, Laws, Agreements, etc. Determining and interpreting the king's dream or visions of God was far more greater and more important than doing so over the laws, constitution or agreement or covenant, in the land/kingdom. For these are only over the kingdom, lands and people of Babylon by the people of Babylon; but the king's dream or vision was God's Revelation and Determination across all the kingdoms, nations, lands and governments, of the entire world both present then and those yet to come even till the end of all ages to the kingdoms of this world, when only the Kingdom of God and His Saints through the Lord Jesus Christ shall endure and establish forever.
Moreover, what Daniel did in the Bible verse above meant David both "Interceded/Intervened for" and "Saved/Delivered" the wise men of Babylon. Daniel could have just cared only about his tribal people or friends to save the wise men among them only, without caring what will happen to those in foreign tribes or the Chaldeans. He could have silently gone to the king and provided the answer for just him and his friends, without stopping the killings of the other wise men of Babylon, especially because those wise men may have advised the king in the days the king destroyed Jerusalem and the people of Daniel, seeing they are wise men of different religions or gods opposed to Daniel's faith.
The Lord Jesus would rejoice that God had hidden things from those wise men, but the Lord Jesus would not have rejoiced nor find pleasure if those wise men were killed or destroyed.
"Though true Wisdom saves/hides things from certain people, true Wisdom also saves/hides those people from certain things."
[Proverbs 16:14-16 BSB] — The wrath of a king is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. When a king’s face brightens, there is life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring. How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.
