She Who is in Babylon

Perhaps the most well known narrative from the book of Daniel is that of Daniel in the lion’s den. Because of his integrity, Daniel refused to privatize his faith by obeying a government edict that violated God’s Word. His character and actions are certainly a model for us. But more than a model for us, they are a foreshadowing of the Greater Daniel Jesus Christ who entered the ultimate lion’s den of God’s wrath for us, died and rose from the dead. And because He did we now can go into the “little lion dens” of our lives with confidence that God is with us and will never leave us.
