Daniel Six: Daniel in the Lion's Den

The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast

Send us a text

In today's podcast, we'll see that Daniel has remained in a position of political leadership under the administration of Darius the Mede. After a conspiracy plot was hatched by other leaders who resented Daniel's rise to power, Darius was manipulated to pass a decree that endangered the life of Daniel. Daniel was cast alive into a den of hungry lions, but the Lord preserved Daniel by shutting the mouths of the Lions, rescued Daniel from the pit alive, and used Darius to execute justice/judgment on the wicked men of Persia.
This is one of two parenthetical passages in the first half of Daniel that reminds us of God's provision in time of trouble, and of God's track record of delivering the righteous from tribulation. There are implications in this pattern that will become more relevant as we get into the second half of Daniel.
