The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 177
177. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 6
1-3 [See above, end of chapter v].) (2)
4-9 They deliberated about this, and concluded that they should be worshipped in place of the Lord; (2)
10-17 which decree being gainsaid by those who were of the Lord's church, it was ordained that they should undergo the punishment of the inquisition, which is the lion's den into which Daniel was cast;2 (2)
18-23 but still they were guarded by the Lord, that they might not undergo that punishment; (11)
24 but on the contrary, those who invented that crime were cast into hell, (15)
25-28 and those who were in worship of the Lord were saved. (11)
