God's Word is Certain
Commentators emphasize that the destruction of Jerusalem was not a random tragedy but a direct fulfillment of God's prior warnings. Daniel sees this as God "confirming his words." This serves as a powerful reminder that God is true to everything He says. Just as His warnings of judgment are certain, so are His promises of mercy and restoration for those who repent.
