DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

him. What Daniel’s enemies designed to
prove his ruin, resulted only in his
advancement. In this case, and in the case of
the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace, the
seal of God is set in favor of two great lines of
duty: (1) As in the case of the three in the fiery
furnace, not to yield to any known sin; and (2)
As in the present case, not to omit any known
duty. And from these instances, the people of
God in all ages are to derive encouragement.
The decree of the king sets forth the character
of the true God in fine terms. (1) He is the
living God; all others are dead. (2) He is
steadfast forever; all others change. (3) He has
a kingdom; for he made and governs all. (4)
His kingdom shall not be destroyed; all others
come to an end. (5) His dominion is without
end; no human power can prevail against it.
