CHAPTER 6
11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.
15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

CHAPTER 6
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”
23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language in all the earth:
“May you prosper greatly!
26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.
“For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end. 27 He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." Indeed, occasionally photographs illustrate the text. So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.
A r t
Q u a l i t yOften, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.
The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n gThe pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).
P a c i n g Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?
The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!. .
Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.Hebrews 11:6

I like the first one today, Daniel sleeping peacefully.
The ones where he looks afraid or worried? Don’t like those, one can pray or one can worry. One should never do both. Either you trust God or you don’t!
(s) a chronic worrier agnostic...
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."Philippians 4:6-7
Exactly!
Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Once, I recommended Philippians 4:6-7 to a coworker, but in doing so I only added to her anxiety. Next day, she expressed to me her frustration: “I looked and looked, but I can’t find Philippinos in the Bible!”
Hey, Sunshine! Feeling any better?
Much better, thank you.
I woke up with a headache, but took an allergy pill and it’s gone, so it must have been some kind of reaction to something I ate.
The good news is, that NEVER happens in heaven.
The bad news is, you ain't there yet!
I can look at the Briton Riviere pictures you posted, over and over. Riviere was a painter of animals, he lived near the London zoo so he was often there studying the physiology of animals. Daniel, hands tied but strong in his faith, peacefully looking at the lions that are in various stages of aggression and fear. Don’t you love the silent communion with the main lion, its eyes fixed on Daniel? Great painting.
Of course love the beautiful stained glass window of Burne-Jones.
Jan Brueghel the Elder also painted this scene, the only true colors are from a Getty image which I refuse to post as Getty’s logo ruins it.
"Faithful dominance." That's exactly what Jesus demonstrated, repeatedly. And it's what the angel demonstrates when closing the lions' mouths, as in Burne-Jones' fenster. Most importantly, it's the quality we can and should have when we are in a right relationship with our Lord: without unconfessed sin, while obeying His revealed will.
I've twice been warned against posting anything with the Getty logo, that the moderators might even pull the entire thread (of course, I could repost it sans the Getty, but still....).
“the wag who composed the gag image”...I am lost, what does it mean?
Sorry. A “wag” is a humorist. The gag, or joke, in the final image, #122, was in reversing the nouns, so that Daniel ‘s dominance made him the den’s owner-resident and the lions were the visitors.
Thanks, Dan!
When I am impenetrable and obfuscating, the least I can do is to Windex the glass.
*sigh*
Another blessing this morning with your posts.
One fine day we’ll be able to ask Daniel to describe for us the entire experience.
