Daniel in the Lion's Den - Daniel 6:1-27, 1:21, 6:28

"For He is the living God

and He endures forever;

His kingdom will not be destroyed,

His dominion will never end."

King Darius about "the God of Daniel," Daniel 6:26

Perhaps I should explain and perhaps I already have elsewhere - the capitalization of pronouns referencing the Lord are my own. You won't find it that way in the NIV. Except here in my version. With every age we seem to be losing our ability to revere. Everything is equal and common. There was a time when a scribe destroyed his pen after writing the name of the Lord. There was a time when the name of the Lord would not be spoken aloud. So I hold on to the capitalization. God deserves at least that.

Ironic that the nation that destroyed Jerusalem and the Kingdom of God on earth proclaim that His kingdom will never be destroyed nor end. Perhaps Darius had a better idea of what the Kingdom of God was than the Lord's people did.

Lord knows.
