Daniel2:23
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers , who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the kings matter .
Here he gives his God another distinguishing title from all the gods of the Heathen, he calls him the God of his Fathers meaning the Covenant made with Abraham, &c. to whom and their Seed God revealed his saving knowledge, which he did not to the Heathen. God is the God of all by the Kingdom of his power, but the God of his church, only according to the Kingdom of his grace.
In which words he intimates a twofold priviledge▪ the one that as the Son of such Fathers, he obtained the grace and favour of God in giving him safety and wisdom; the other that he found him a God hearing Prayer, and that in a thing of a high nature, he made known to him the Kings matter.
