His obedience to God was honored after it was noted Daniel’s choices of food and drink made him stronger. The king spoke with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Nebuchadnezzar found them to be ten times better than all other magicians. All four men received knowledge and understanding, while Daniel received the ability to understand visions and dreams (Daniel 1: 8-19). Daniel’s character was determined because he resolved in his heart to follow after Jehovah God regardless of the cost. His faith in God ruled his choices and elevated him in the service of the king. Daniel was tested several times; but, the lion’s den is a powerful portion of his life to examine. Daniel chapter six is the documentation of Daniel making choices, which land him in a lion’s den. Due to King Darius trusted officials, he issued a decree without thought and the decree forbid anyone …show more content…

The punishment for disobeying the decree would be a terrifying death in a den of lions. At this time, Daniel was already a gifted officer. It is evident the king was manipulated by his advisors to try to destroy a man of God (Palmer). In the progression of the story in Daniel chapter six, we see the envy of the king’s advisors, how they plot to destroy Daniel, the deception of Darius in following his advisors as well as the distress of King Darius when Daniel is put in the lion’s den (Daniel 6).

    He also got charged with fine years imprisonment with a minimum of three years without parol. It was extremely hard for him to cope with the pain. In some ways being sent to a correctional facility may very well have been better for him than being at home seeing his family as they were, but at the same time every second he was awake he was reminded of the night because he was living in a prison surrounded by other criminals. Daniel had to live the rest of his life with the debt he got himself in to on the night of August 27th. “Daniel, his card moods, his jealous rages, his long periods of brooding and his complete lack of accountability: he took so much from so many.”

I think Ann Rinaldi made him like this because he has to carry a musket around in The Revolutionary war. To prove my guess i have a quote by Jemima Emmerson: “If only the gun weren’t so heavy(Ann 4)” the reason i chose this is because this proves that he is strong.

  • They Feed They Lion Analysis

    841 Words  | 4 Pages

    Just by reading the title of Philip Levine’s poem, “They Feed They Lion”, the reader is already given the implication that the poem may be somewhat cryptic to the non-analytic eye. After analyzing the title carefully, it becomes clear that the author was implying that the lion is a symbol for something bad. Just by deciphering this, one can deduce that the title is a metaphor for a group of people feeding into the said thing that is bad. Once the reader reads the poem several times though, it becomes painstakingly clear that the lion that Levine is talking about is the unprecedented hate that is so ingrained into human nature. A part of human nature that most members of the human race constantly feed into without fail.

  • Daniel 9: 27 Summary

    450 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chapter seven of Daniel makes it clear that in the time leading up to the return of Christ to set up His kingdom, there will appear some kind of revived Roman empire that rises as a Phoenix from the ashes. I wonder if the Phoenix symbolism borrows from this prophecy, seeing that it seems to originate from Egypt, a place strongly connected with Israel. The Antichrist will head up a league of nations built on the ashes of the ancient Roman empire. The old Roman Empire was vast and included territory in Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia. Daniel 9:26-27 says that the people of the prince that shall come will destroy Jerusalem; a prophecy fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem.
