THE BOOK OF DANIEL
CHAPTER 6
THE PROPHET DANIEL IN THE LIONS' DEN BIBLE STORY
DANIEL AND THE LIONS' DEN STORY WARNING
Anxious to share more with you
about the interesting life of the Prophet Daniel. Keep in mind that the
times that Daniel was living in, was when the people of Israel were in
captivity. This was a time of sorrow for most of the Hebrews, because they
longed for their homeland, their freedom and if any of you have ever had the
feeling that God was hiding His face from you because of something you had
done ... Then just imagine the children of Israel, for 70 years, praying to
enter into His good Graces once more.
Now, we've learned that
Daniel, having been blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit to interpret
dreams, escaped quite a life of hardship. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon
took a liking to Daniel because he interpreted troubling dreams of his, and
promoted Daniel to a position of great honor among the Chaldean people.
When Belshazzar died,
the new king, Darius, chose one hundred twenty princes to set over the
entire kingdom. Over the princes were three presidents that they accounted
to. Daniel's reputation was so favorable that Darius chose him to be the
highest ranking of these three presidents, which you can imagine made all
the others, both princes and presidents, burn with jealousy.
DANIEL IN THE LIONS' DEN BIBLE STORY MESSAGE
DANIEL AND THE LIONS' DEN STORY DANGER
They conspired to
discredit Daniel but they couldn't find any faults with him, so they decided
that the only thing they could find against him was concerning the law of
his God. They requested of the king, that he make a decree, that whoever ask
anything of any God or man for thirty days, except the king, was to be cast
into the den of lions.
In those days, royal
decisions were not overturned. Once a decree was signed by the king, it was
not and could not be altered. King Darius, unaware of the wickedness that
his royal subjects were devising, signed the decree.
When Daniel heard about
the new law, he went into his house and the window that faced Jerusalem was
open in his room. And just as he always did before, Daniel knelt down
three times a day to pray and give thanks to God.
According to their plan,
the princes and presidents spied on Daniel, and found him praying and asking
God for blessings. They eagerly reported their discovery to the king, who
was very angry with himself for signing the decree, but could not overrule
it, according to the law. So Darius determined within himself to find a way
to save Daniel, and until the sun went down, he intently tried to figure a
way, but it was of no use. The men who accused Daniel reminded the king that
the law of the Medes and Persians is that no law that the king establishes
may be changed.
The king had no choice, so
he told them to take Daniel and throw him into the lion's den. But because
the king was fond of Daniel, he said to him, Your God, who you are faithful
to, will save you. They rolled a stone over the opening of the cave to seal
it, and the king spent a sleepless night in worry about Daniel.
DANIEL IN THE LIONS' DEN BIBLE SUMMARY
DANIEL AND THE LIONS' DEN STORY BLESSING
Early in the morning,
Darius hurried to the lion's den. Calling out Daniel's name, he asked, Was
your God able to save you from the lions? Daniel replied, My God has sent
His angel and has shut the lions' mouths so they haven't hurt me, because He
knows that I am innocent, and even you know I have done nothing wrong.
The king was very happy,
and ordered that Daniel be taken out of the den ... It was a miracle from
God, Daniel hadn't a scratch on him. The king then commanded that Daniel's
accusers, their wives and their children be thrown to the lions, and the
lions devoured them.
King Darius then wrote a new decree:
I make a decree, That in every
dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for He
is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and His Kingdom shall not be
destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivers and
rescues, and He works miracles in Heaven and on Earth. He has delivered
Daniel from the power of the lions.
So Daniel continued to prosper
during the reign of Darius, and during the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Remember Daniel's gift of
interpreting dreams? Come on back soon, and find out what happens when
Daniel himself has a very interesting dream ...
The Prophet Daniel in the lions' den Bible story reveals that God was with Daniel and that the Daniel and the lions' den story shares how we should trust in God despite the apparent danger around us. God will be there when we need Him. He is always right on time.
