Daniel: The Lion's Den

One of the purposes that the Lord is accomplishing in the book of Daniel is that even though God’s people are taken into captivity, God is using His people to serve as a witness of Him. We have already seen king Nebuchadnezzar’s confession and in the infamous story of Daniel and the lion’s den, we are going to see the confession of king Darius. We learn that the Lord glorifies himself and makes himself known among the nations through Daniel’s unjust death sentence and the rescuing of Daniel as Daniel remained faithful to the Lord.
