Context of Daniel 6:27

25After that, King Darius wrote to all the people of every nation, who spoke all languages. He wrote: ‘I hope that you all have good and happy lives. 26I have made a law for every part of my kingdom. All people must respect the God that Daniel serves. They must respect him with fear. He is the God who always lives. He will continue for ever. Nobody will ever destroy his kingdom. He will rule for ever. He rescues his people and he keeps them safe. He does powerful miracles in the heavens and on the earth. He has saved Daniel from the lions' power!’ 28So Daniel continued to have authority while Darius was king, and also when Cyrus from Persia became king.

Commentaries on Daniel 6:27

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27He delivereth and rescueth - As in the case of Daniel. This attribute would of course be prominent in the view of Darius, since so remarkable an instance of his power had been recently manifested in rescuing Daniel. And he worketh signs and wonders … - Performs miracles far above all human power. If he had done it on earth in the case of Daniel, it was fair to infer that he did it also in heaven.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 25-28Verses 25-28 If we live in the fear of God, and walk according to that rule, peace shall be upon us. The kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever, are the Lord's; but many are employed in making known his wonderful works to others, who themselves remain strangers to his saving grace. May we be doers, as well as believers of his word, least at the last we should be found to have deceived ourselves.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27He delivers and rescues … He has rescued Daniel: This proclamation moves from the general to the specific. Daniel was a specific example of God’s rescuing power. God continues to act on behalf of his people, just as he has always done.Read the comment
