What Does Daniel 6:27 Mean?
Continuing his proclamation, Darius praises God as the One who delivers and rescues, who works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, and who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions. The deliverance he witnessed becomes the proof of God's saving power for all to hear.
The king moves from the single rescue he saw to a sweeping confession of who God is: a deliverer by nature, working wonders across heaven and earth. One act of salvation has opened his eyes to the character of the Savior. This is the heart of the gospel hope, that God delivers and rescues, drawing His people out of the power of every threat. The God who shut the lions' mouths is the same God who saves to the uttermost all who trust in Him.
