"Daniel in The Lions' Den" by Peter Paul Reubens

Our Father in Heaven,
How Magnified, and how Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!
How Precious Your Word, which You have given and preserved for us, Through Your Chosen People!
What Magnificent Examples of faith and courage,
of dignity and integrity,
you have given us to emulate in Your Servant Daniel.

3. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

4.Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; for as much as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

Thank You also for this Insight into the minds of our peers,
Who will often act upon jealousy and ambition,
and allow themselves to become agents of the enemy of our souls.

16. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

17. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

18. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

19. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

20. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace,
We ask that You will make Your Spirit so strong within us,
That even the heathen, like Darius the Mede, will know in their heart of hearts, that You are the One True God,
In SPITE of their culture and traditions.

We Thank You for the Rally Sunday for Israel
And For the People Who stood in the Rain to show their love for Israel.
We Thank You for the Remnant
Who continue to Love and Support Your People,
In Spite of the Current Political Climate.

Father, We Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise,
We pray for an END to Lies, Slander, Blood Libel, Propaganda, and Antisemitism against Your Beloved.
We Pray For An End to Slavery, Hostage-Taking,
and Piracy wherever it is Practiced Around the World.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews, In Bondage in Hostile lands,
Especially in Egypt, Somalia, Europe, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran.

Number us NOT with those who whisper lies to Your People.
Those who say "Peace and Safety" out loud,
but who inwardly plot against You and Your Beloved!
We ask You to Intervene in the Affairs of Nations,
And Change the Direction of Our Own.
We Plead With You, That Our Leaders will be Led by You
with regards to Our Own Country's Policies Towards Jerusalem,
Or That You Will Remove Them.
We Also Pray that you will remove the spirit of idolatry
That has invaded the politics of our Nation.
We beg For You To Replace The leaders Who Seize Power
Only to feed Their own EGOS, and NOT to Serve the People or the Constitution.

We pray for the lost Children of Esau and Ishmael,
That they will throw down their weapons,
And embrace the One True God of Abraham,
For We Know, It is NOT Your Will that ANY Should perish,
As You have said in Your Word.

We Plead For Israeli Control Over All the Holy Sites in Israel,
So that People of All Faiths may visit them.
We Pray For Bibi Netayahu, and the Leaders of Israel
May They Receive Wisdom from You to do the Right Thing.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

The Enemies of Israel and God can be likened to the lions. Proverbs 26 describes what we see today in the current set of ememies:

Proverbs 26

1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
so honour is not fitting for a fool.
2Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
an undeserved curse goes nowhere.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
and a rod for the back of fools.
4Do not answer fools according to their folly,
or you will be a fool yourself.
5Answer fools according to their folly,
or they will be wise in their own eyes.
6It is like cutting off one’s foot and drinking down violence,
to send a message by a fool.
7The legs of a disabled person hang limp;
so does a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8It is like binding a stone in a sling
to give honour to a fool.
9Like a thornbush brandished by the hand of a drunkard
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10Like an archer who wounds everybody
is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.*
11Like a dog that returns to its vomit
is a fool who reverts to his folly.
12Do you see persons wise in their own eyes?
There is more hope for fools than for them.
13The lazy person says, ‘There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!’
14As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a lazy person in bed.
15The lazy person buries a hand in the dish,
and is too tired to bring it back to the mouth.
16The lazy person is wiser in self-esteem
than seven who can answer discreetly.
17Like somebody who takes a passing dog by the ears
is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.
18Like a maniac who shoots deadly firebrands and arrows,
19so is one who deceives a neighbour
and says, ‘I am only joking!’
20For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases.
21As charcoal is to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23Like the glaze* covering an earthen vessel
are smooth* lips with an evil heart.
24An enemy dissembles in speaking
while harbouring deceit within;
25when an enemy speaks graciously, do not believe it,
for there are seven abominations concealed within;
26though hatred is covered with guile,
the enemy’s wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.
28A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Amen

Henry Ossawa Tanner, "Daniel In The Lions' Den"
Thank You, Darth Vader, for that Excellent Scripture from Proverbs!
This one is a particular favorite of mine:
27. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.
The Wisdom of The LORD, as Told Through Those Inspired by His Holy Spirit,
Is Not Bound by the Time/Space Continuum!

Reading proverbs 26 is like Reading a desciption of the current crop of you-know-whats in Our nation's leadership as we speak.
It even mentions the DONKEY.LOL.

Dearest Etabeta, although I have heard and read this Story hundreds of times,
I get something NEW every time I read it!
Today was NO exception!
Today was the day that I got insight into the minds of Daniel's enemies.

It was a real Revelation.

Thank You jackv, for your Prayers for the peace of Jerusalem!

[etabeta]

every day, with these lessons, is a revelation to me. I never studied the Bible, I never had Sunday school as I was brought up in Europe and there religion lessons are very different.

So, know what an honor is for me being instructed by all you wonderful and knowledgeable teachers.

Blessings, blessings.

Daniel’s Answer to the King by Briton Rivière (1840-1920) depicts the Biblical hero Daniel who was thrown into a den of hungry lions. Briton Rivière produced a mix of contemporary genre, classical and animal subjects, which was his specialty. In this religious art piece, we can appreciate the realistic details of the lions and the artist’s use of rich colors and lighting used in the painting. We see Daniel (who refused to worship other gods and was arrested for praying)

Than you, Alamo-Girl, for Your Prayers!
