Awe vs. True Conversion
Commentators, particularly John Calvin, caution against viewing Darius's decree as a sign of true conversion. They argue that while Darius was awestruck by the miracle, he did not abandon his own idols. He simply elevated Daniel's God above others, a form of mixed worship God rejects. This serves as a warning that acknowledging God's power is not the same as exclusive, saving faith.
