Who Was Daniel?
In short
Daniel was a young man carried into exile in Babylon who refused to abandon his faith, even under a king's decree. Thrown into a den of lions for praying, he was kept safe by God.
Faithful and wise, Daniel served kings while never bowing to them, and God gave him visions of a kingdom that will never end.
“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me.”
Daniel 6:22 · King James Version (public domain)
