I think it appropriate and awesome at the same time that Daniel was such a faithful and honoring man that the enemy couldn't take him down as they tried so hard too. God sent His angels to protect this faithful man of God who served with honor in servitude in a land that was not his own. Daniel honored the king and was always faithful to his Lord. As the enemy schemed and planned Daniels demise they only brought it upon their selves as the king saw through their scheming. As the proof that the Lord delivered Daniel from the Lions mouth the King used this opportunity to deliver the Lords enemies to the Lions mouth themselves. King Darius even announced the Lord of Daniel as the Living God whom all should Fear and will endure forever.
Daniel 6:25-27 - 25 Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: “Peace and prosperity to you! 26 “I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end. 27 He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
Daniel's prayer and confession is so on que, we today don't have anyone but very rarely who prays an intercessory prayer to God on our behalf, with true repentance for us and complete truth in the confession. Taking on the responsibility of our and our ancestors actions and attitudes. This man of God truly has a heart for God and his people and does all he can to stand in the gap for his people in all that he is. I believe God Honors Daniel in this, knowing where Daniels heart is at. He truly has a heart for his people. Daniel is still giving it all to God and Gabriel arrives to give Daniel more and deeper understanding of the visions he has had. God Honors Daniel in his faithfulness and reveals to him a prophecy for the end times, for us now!
Now Cyrus ruler of Babylon the capture of Israel is honoring to God and giving Him his respect and honor, recognizing that the Lord is the one who is responsible for his prosperous kingdom. So, He sends out a decree that all who wish to return to Judah to help in the building of the Temple for the Lord shall be able to do so. He even blesses them as they go. He also tells the neighbors of those returning to bless them with silver and gold and livestock and offerings for the Lord as they go. He even had the items that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken form the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem returned. This is such an amazing triumph for the Lord and His people. God turned the hearts of all men to glorify Him in this amazing time. King Cyrus of Persia truly seems to be an honoring man at this time in History.
Lord, help me to be an intercessor such as Daniel is here for his people, I desire to have a heart for all people as your will is for me Father. Help me to be as honoring to others and to you in all I do just as King Darius and King Cyrus were, and continually giving you honor and praise. I wish that my continued actions will honor you in all I do and all my actions will give you glory Father. I ask all in the holy precious beautiful wonderful amazing humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
