Daniel 4:26

Context
4:26 They said to leave the taproot of the tree, for your kingdom will be restored to you when you come to understand that heaven 1  rules.

Daniel 12:6

Context
12:6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?”

1 sn The reference to heaven here is a circumlocution for God. There was a tendency in Jewish contexts to avoid direct reference to God. Cf. the expression “kingdom of heaven” in the NT and such statements as “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight” (Luke 15:21).
