Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Works all things after the counsel of his will' resonates with Daniel's confession that God 'does according to his will... none can stay his hand.' Availability and thematic coherence (universal divine sovereignty) support a faint echo; volume is low, so it is marked contested.
Low confidenceThe disclosure of God's wisdom and purpose 'to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places' coheres with Daniel's vision of a heavenly court and 'the host of heaven' over whom God's sovereign counsel prevails (cf. Daniel 4:35; 7:9-14). The cosmic-authorities frame is Danielic, but the verbal volume here is faint.
