Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem~The Book of Daniel





Daniel 6



1. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2. And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

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.

6. Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

7. All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

8. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

9. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

11. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

12. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

13. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

14. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

15. Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

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?

21. Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

22. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: for as much as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

23. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

24. And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

25. Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

26. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

27. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

28. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

I know at times I feel like we are all standing in the Lion’s Den, but I know who controls the Lion’s.

Help us Father.

Amen.

“14. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.”
_________________________________________________________
Likely the King had the lions fed copious amounts of meat prior to the time Daniel entered. This does not belie the miracle of surviving the night unharmed. God's hand at work.

We all have been told God works in mysterious ways. God's unfolding plan is all in His hand and happens exactly as he has chosen..

I love the Book of Daniel. Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Elijah, David, Daniel, Jeremiah,Job, and others are men of great faith. A type of archetype or pre type of the coming Christ. Examples for all man.

O LORD, thou are a great and wonderful God and Father, magnificent, in all Your Ways. You answer our prayers, You heal our hearts, Mind, Bodies, You give us hopes and dreams, You protect us from evil, You prosper and bless us in myriad ways. Your Son Jesus Christ, you sent to be our Redeemer, our Savior, our Deliverer, You give us new hearts and minds, and desires,, Holy, Holy, Holy, are You, Worthy, Worthy, Worthy are Thou. None is good except God, and our God LOVES us that come seeking Him. You give us HOPE, ETERNAL LIFE, and the power to sustain us where ever we are. Keep our hearts and minds looking to You, LORD and helping the lost of this world. Your remnant is not known by the world. Yet, Your remnant is always there. Looking for You, seeking You, serving You, I pray LORD, You turn the hearts of the lost, and 100,000,000 Muslims to accept Jesus Christ and live changed lives. To bring Your Peace to the world. Forgive us our sins day by day, Bless our leaders and give them a renewed mind, and heart. Turn America back to You. If we are living in a famine of Your Word, Please have mercy on America and bring revival of Your Spirit onto America. In the name Of Jesus. Amen and Amen. PRAISE THE LORD.

What really impresses me about this story is the LOVE the King has for Daniel, even though the King “inherited” Daniel from another regime, and is a foreign conqueror and a pagan.

Even so, he recognizes the Spirit of God in Daniel and loves him for that.

WONDERFUL!
