Daniel in the Lions’ Den
Daniel 6 was written when Daniel was approximately eighty years old. Even though Daniel had been a counselor to the kings of Babylon, he also became a counselor to the kings of the Medo-Persian Empire who conquered Babylon. Look for how Daniel’s enemies tried to destroy him and how the Lord continued to bless him because of his faithfulness.
