The decree's reach across the entire kingdom signifies the importance and authority of the message. Historically, decrees from kings were binding and carried significant weight, often inscribed on stone or clay tablets for permanence.men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: The phrase "tremble in fear" indicates a deep reverence and awe, not merely terror. This reflects a recognition of God's supreme power and authority. The "God of Daniel" highlights Daniel's influence and the impact of his faithfulness, as his God is acknowledged by a pagan king. This mirrors other instances in Scripture where God's power is recognized by non-believers, such as Pharaoh in Exodus.For He is the living God, The term "living God" contrasts with the lifeless idols worshiped by many in the ancient world. It emphasizes God's active presence and involvement in the world. This concept is echoed throughout the Bible, such as in <a href="/jeremiah/10-10.htm">Jeremiah 10:10</a> and <a href="/1_thessalonians/1-9.htm">1 Thessalonians 1:9</a>, where God is described as living and true.and He endures forever; This phrase speaks to God's eternal nature, a central tenet of biblical theology. Unlike human rulers and kingdoms, which are temporary, God's existence is unending. This is a theme found throughout Scripture, including in <a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a> and <a href="/revelation/1-8.htm">Revelation 1:8</a>, affirming God's timelessness and constancy.His kingdom will never be destroyed, The indestructibility of God's kingdom contrasts with earthly kingdoms, which rise and fall. This is a prophetic statement pointing to the eternal kingdom of God, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-44.htm">Daniel 2:44</a> and echoed in the New Testament in passages like <a href="/luke/1-33.htm">Luke 1:33</a>, where the eternal reign of Christ is proclaimed.and His dominion will never end. God's unending dominion signifies His ultimate authority and control over all creation. This is a reassurance of God's sovereignty, a theme prevalent in the Psalms and throughout prophetic literature. It also foreshadows the eternal reign of Christ, as described in <a href="/revelation/11-15.htm">Revelation 11:15</a>, where His kingdom is declared to last forever.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/darius_the_mede.htm">Darius the Mede</a> The king who issued the decree after witnessing Daniel's miraculous deliverance from the lions' den.

This is due, no doubt, to the share which Daniel had in the composition of it. By the "end" is meant the end of all the heathen kingdoms which shall arise upon the earth, or, in other words, the setting up of the kingdom of the Messiah. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/6-26.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I hereby שִׂ֣ים (śîm) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7761.htm">Strong's 7761: </a> To set, make decree טְעֵם֒ (ṭə·‘êm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2942.htm">Strong's 2942: </a> Flavor, judgment, account that דִּ֣י ׀ (dî) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1768.htm">Strong's 1768: </a> Who, which, that, because in every בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3606.htm">Strong's 3606: </a> The whole, all, any, every part שָׁלְטָ֣ן (šā·lə·ṭān) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7985.htm">Strong's 7985: </a> Dominion of my kingdom, מַלְכוּתִ֗י (mal·ḵū·ṯî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4437.htm">Strong's 4437: </a> Royalty, reign, kingdom [men are to] tremble זָיְעִין֙ (zā·yə·‘în) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2112.htm">Strong's 2112: </a> To tremble in fear וְדָ֣חֲלִ֔ין (wə·ḏā·ḥă·lîn) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1763.htm">Strong's 1763: </a> To slink, to fear, be formidable before מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4481.htm">Strong's 4481: </a> From, out of, by, by reason of, at, more than the God אֱלָהֵ֣הּ (’ĕ·lā·hêh) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_426.htm">Strong's 426: </a> God of דִּי־ (dî-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1768.htm">Strong's 1768: </a> Who, which, that, because Daniel: דָֽנִיֵּ֑אל (ḏā·nî·yêl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1841.htm">Strong's 1841: </a> Daniel -- 'God is my judge', an Israelite leader in Babylon For דִּי־ (dî-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1768.htm">Strong's 1768: </a> Who, which, that, because He ה֣וּא ׀ (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1932.htm">Strong's 1932: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are is the living חַיָּ֗א (ḥay·yā) Adjective - masculine singular determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2417.htm">Strong's 2417: </a> Alive, life God, אֱלָהָ֣א (’ĕ·lā·hā) Noun - masculine singular determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_426.htm">Strong's 426: </a> God and He endures forever; וְקַיָּם֙ (wə·qay·yām) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7011.htm">Strong's 7011: </a> Permanent His kingdom וּמַלְכוּתֵהּ֙ (ū·mal·ḵū·ṯêh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4437.htm">Strong's 4437: </a> Royalty, reign, kingdom will never לָ֣א (lā) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3809.htm">Strong's 3809: </a> Not, no be destroyed, תִתְחַבַּ֔ל (ṯiṯ·ḥab·bal) Verb - Hitpael - Imperfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2255.htm">Strong's 2255: </a> To destroy, hurt and His dominion וְשָׁלְטָנֵ֖הּ (wə·šā·lə·ṭā·nêh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7985.htm">Strong's 7985: </a> Dominion will never end. סוֹפָֽא׃ (sō·w·p̄ā) Noun - masculine singular determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5491.htm">Strong's 5491: </a> A termination <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/6-26.htm">Daniel 6:26 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/6-26.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 6:26 I make a decree that in all (Dan.
