Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 2:46
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
46. fell upon . . . face, and worshipped Daniel —worshipping God in the person of Daniel. Symbolical of the future prostration of the world power before Messiah and His kingdom ( Philippians 2:10 ). As other servants of God refused such honors ( Acts 10:25 ; Acts 10:26 ; Acts 14:13-15 ; Revelation 22:8 ; Revelation 22:9 ), and Daniel ( Daniel 1:8 ) would not taste defiled food, nor give up prayer to God at the cost of his life ( Daniel 6:7 ; Daniel 6:10 ), it seems likely that Daniel rejected the proffered divine honors. The word "answered" ( Daniel 2:47 ) implies that Daniel had objected to these honors; and in compliance with his objection, "the king answered, Of a truth, your God is a God of gods." Daniel had disclaimed all personal merit in Daniel 2:30 , giving GOD all the glory (compare Daniel 2:45 ). commanded . . . sweet odours —divine honors ( Daniel 2:45- : ). It is not said his command was executed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-47" class="com-number"
