The wicked opposition to God's servant was now completely broken. "Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian." And through association with him, these heathen monarchs were constrained to acknowledge his God as "the living God, and steadfast forever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

Nu var modstanden imod Guds tjener fuldstændig knust. "Daniel vedblev at have lykken med sig under Darius og perseren Kyros regering." Takket være deres forbindelse med ham blev disse hedenske konger tvunget til at anerkende hans Gud som "den levende Gud" som "bliver i evighed", og hans rige som et uforgængeligt rige.
