Daniel 6:27 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:27

He delivereth and rescueth.
&c.] As he did the three companions of Daniel from the fiery furnace, and now Daniel himself from the lions' den: and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth;
which are out of the common course of nature, and not according to the laws of it; such as hindering the natural force of fire from burning, as in the case of the three children; and stopping the mouths of lions from devouring Daniel as follows: who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions;
or "from the hand" ^F18 of them; from their destroying paws, and devouring jaws; which was nothing less than a miracle, and a proof of the divine omnipotence and of his power of doing wonders.

Daniel 6:27 In-Context

25 Then king Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the eretz: Shalom be multiplied to you.

26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniyel; for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even to the end.

27 He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in eretz, who has delivered Daniyel from the power of the lions.

28 So this Daniyel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Parsian.
