Daniel Six: Daniel in the Lion's Den Artwork

The Pre-Trib Prophecy Podcast

This podcast teaches Biblical prophecy from a pre-tribulation, pre-millennial, and dispensational point of view. We focus on Biblical exposition of the various texts that teach about Bible prophecy, and will discuss ideas such as the coming rapture of the church, the tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, a future apostate global religion, and the second coming of Christ, to name a few. Joel Dover is the Pastor of the Calvary Chapel church in Newnan GA, and the former Professor of Eschatology and Dean of Biblical Studies at Calvary Chapel University. Joel earned a Doctorate from Luther Rice University in 2010 where he graduated with honors, and also holds an M.Div and M.A.R. from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and a B.A. from UNCW.

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.
