Actually, I believe the LDB was blessed by Akatosh for this purpose, but not Miraak. Miraak just happened to be the first of the Tongues, meaning that he was meant to lead a rebellion against the Dragons. It's possible Miraak's purpose in life was to overthrow the Dovah rulers and end up a ruler (or at least someone well-respected), but became corrupted by Mora at some point.
