He has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. The final statement of the proclamation specifically cites Daniel's deliverance as evidence of God's saving power. By making this public declaration, the king authenticates Daniel's rescue as a divine act and validates Daniel's claims to have been protected by God. The proclamation transforms what began as a political conspiracy into a public testimony of divine power. Every person in the empire receives the king's official statement that the God of Israel has demonstrated superior power to the lions and the king's authority.
