“And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?”
He rescues and saves people; he performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth. The king continues his proclamation, attributing to God the characteristics of saving His people and performing miracles. The signs and wonders language echoes both Nebuchadnezzar's use of these terms and biblical language for divine action. Darius's testimony becomes a public declaration that God is active in human history, not merely a cosmic force or abstract principle but an agent who rescues, saves, and performs miraculous deeds.
