Daniel wasn’t cowardly when facing lions

In fact, Daniel was thrown into the lions‟ den when he was “caught” seeking God during his private prayer time by an open window. God supernaturally sealed the mouths of the lions, and Daniel was rescued. God also supernaturally rescued three other Jewish captives who were forced to bow down before King Nebuchadnezzar‟s statue. Just as Daniel was thrown into the lions‟ den, his friends were thrown into a fiery furnace. God shut the lions‟ mouths, but actually entered the flames with Daniel‟s three friends. We find out later that "the angel of the Lord" who walked in the fire with Daniel's friend was Jesus Christ, who would come to Earth literally and physically to establish a new kingdom of love, peace, joy, and generosity for years to come.
