The enemies of Daniel said, “We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.” They made a law that Daniel could not obey. Sound familiar? The penalty for breaking their anti-Biblical law was the death penalty. [1]
“God sent His angel to save Daniel because he did no wrong to God or to the king.” [2]
“No injury was found on Daniel because he believed in his God.” [3]
The men and their families who sought to destroy Daniel were destroyed by the very method by which they sought to kill Daniel. [4]
The king wrote to all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth, saying, “I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, and steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall endure to the end. He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.” [5]
God’s faithfulness embodied via Daniel’s life-choices yielded great glory to God throughout the world. At first, it seemed that God’s will was against Daniel, but in the end, God was greatly glorified in him, and Daniel was also honored.
