Ties between past and present

What specific prophecy of Isaiah did Daniel witness in fulfillment?

"Jeremiah preached in Jerusalem at the very time Daniel lived within its walls; and, in all likelihood, he heard the prophet's proclamations with his own ears."
Imagine the look of shock on Daniel's face when he realized that he was apart of the fulfillment of prophecy given over a hundred years before hand. To see the anger on his face when the temple articles were being removed and his people were being taken away.
Away from their homes and all that they knew and loved.

God wasn't kidding when he said " The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the King of Babylon."
Isaiah 39: 5-6
**Prophecy that was fulfilled in Daniel 1:1-2**

But Hezekiah's reaction..WoW.
Stunningly selfish is an understatement.
Fits the "I am, and there is none beside me" motto to a t if you ask me!
