THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN THE BIBLE
The book of Daniel in the Bible is jam-packed with action and power, miracles and visions. It’s a story of a real man who was exiled to Babylon and taken from his homeland of Judah when he was just 15 years old. He is faithful to God and trusts him, so when the new king trains him and his 3 friends (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) to learn to live as Babylonians, they won’t do any rituals that violate what their God asks of them.
Because of this, they grow stronger and wiser than anyone else. When the king has a strange dream, he calls Daniel in to interpret it and he does. After, the king rewards Daniel by making him third in command!
Later, Daniel’s three friends are thrown into a fiery furnace when they refuse to bow down to a false god, but the true God performs a miracle and they aren’t harmed! Because of this, the king demands that everyone worship their true God!
DANIEL AND THE LIONS’ DEN
Daniel lives his life as a prophet, helping kings with their dreams and prophesying about his own visions he is receiving from God. At one point, some administrators who are jealous of Daniel trick the king into passing a law that forbids others to pray to their God.
When Daniel breaks the law, the king is heartbroken, but has to throw him into the lions’ den. In the morning, the king runs to check on Daniel and sees that he isn’t harmed, and in turn, throws the palace administrators in instead. Spoiler alert: they don’t make it.
The book of Daniel in the Bible is a historical account and prophesy of what is to come for future empires–none of which will last, but will all eventually be replaced by the one true kingdom–the kingdom of God!
