FACING THE LIONS: A VISUAL JOURNEY THROUGH DANIEL'S MIRACULOUS NIGHT

Close your eyes for a moment and picture this: a man lowered into complete darkness, the smell of dust and death filling his lungs, and the low rumble of hungry predators circling just feet away.

This isn't a scene from a Hollywood thriller. This is the Daniel in the lion's den story, one of the most dramatic and visually stunning moments in all of Scripture.

But here's the thing. Most of us grew up seeing this story portrayed in children's books with friendly-looking cartoon lions and a smiling Daniel. The real scene? It was far more terrifying, far more miraculous, and far more beautiful than any of those images suggest.
