It often refers to a divinely appointed time or a significant epoch in God's sovereign plan.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, time was often viewed cyclically, with seasons and periods marked by agricultural cycles, religious festivals, and royal reigns. The use of "iddan" in the Book of Daniel reflects a worldview where God orchestrates the rise and fall of empires and the unfolding of history according to His divine timetable.<div
