A Pagan King's Confession
Commentators note the significance of King Darius's decree, which commanded the entire empire to revere the God of Daniel. The language used to describe God—as "the living God," "stedfast for ever," with an indestructible kingdom—is remarkably accurate. Scholars like Barnes and Gill suggest this theology was likely learned directly from Daniel, showing his influence on the most powerful rulers.
