Description

i was reading about daniel and the lion's den the other day and wondered. how did the angel shut the lions' mouths to keep daniel safe? it's obviously not the most important part of the story, but i was curious.

i'm sure whatever method the angel used was a lot more glamorous than a peanut butter sandwich. :D

if you've never heard the story here are the details...

daniel had been taken from his home country into babylon to serve in the palace. years and kings later, there was a king named king darius. he appointed lots of princes and administrative dudes under him. the king wanted to promote daniel above all these other guys.

and so the haters met together and realized that the only way to get rid of daniel was to make praying to his God a crime.

so they buttered up the king like a hot biscuit and got him to sign a law that said that no one could pray to anyone other than the king for 30 days. the king, who thought he was all that and a bag of chips, saw no problem with that so he signed.

well daniel found out about the law and kept right on praying. as a matter of fact he was so bold that he prayed with his windows wide open!

so the haters, in typical hater fashion, got the word back to the king and press him to punish daniel. and because of the nature of the law, the king couldn't take it back. he said to daniel, "your God will rescue you."

and with that daniel was tossed into the lion's den. the king didn't get a wink of sleep all night for kicking himself about what had happened to daniel. he didn't want to eat. he didn't want to listen to music. and he studied all kinds of law cases so he could save him.

meanwhile, the angel of the Lord had shut up the mouths of the lions and they didn't even look at daniel funny all night. as soon as there was light in the sky, the king was at the lions' den rolling back the stone and calling for him to see if he was still alive.

daniel called up from the den and they pulled him out. there wasn't a scratch on him. the people who hated on him and their families were thrown in the lions den and didn't touch the ground before being ripped apart.

the king was so happy that he sent out word all over his kingdom about the goodness of the God of daniel and commanded that his subjects respect and fear Him.

(the long version can be found in daniel chapter 6. and yes, there is a version longer than this one. lol)
