Daniel 6:20b
“O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
Daniel 6:25-28
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you. 26 I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,
for he is the living God,
enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues;
he works signs and wonders
in heaven and on earth,
he who has saved Daniel
from the power of the lions.”
28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

4 [a] King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you! 2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me.
3 How great are his signs,
how mighty his wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and his dominion endures from generation to generation.
The Doxology “Prepares The Reader for What Follows In the Book. At This Point in Daniel – That is, The Conclusion of The Narrative Portion – Darius’s Doxology Functions as The Lifeline Into the Rest of Daniel. With these Truths about The Living God’s Eternal, Indestructible Kingdom firmly Embedded, The inhabitants of His Kingdom can read On With confidence that their God Alone has the Authority, Power, and Ultimate Glory.” - Wendy Widder
