Commentary on Daniel 6:21
The king's cry combines hope and despair: 'O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?' The address 'servant of the living God' shows theological development—Darius now distinguishes the 'living' God from lifeless idols. The question 'is thy God...able' could mean either doubt or hope that the answer is yes. The repetition of 'continually' (cf. v. 16) again emphasizes Daniel's consistent faithfulness. This question represents humanity's universal longing—is God truly powerful to save in impossible circumstances?
