Oh yeah. 02:08 Well, it would kind of depend 02:10 if you're going to be inside the cage 02:12 or outside the cage, right? 02:14 If you're going to be inside the cage, 02:15 well, I would be scared. 02:17 But today, I'm going to tell you a story of a man 02:20 who came face to face with lions 02:25 and was not afraid. 02:26 His name was Daniel. 02:29 And Daniel was a man who was made a governor 02:35 in the kingdom of Persia. 02:38 The King's name was Darius. 02:40 What was his name everyone? 02:41 Darius. Remember that. 02:43 It was Darius and he made Daniel one of three governors. 02:48 Now the governors had to be over 120, 02:54 that's a large group, 120 satraps. 02:57 They were like officers in the province of Persia. 03:00 And Daniel was in charge of them all. 03:03 And the satraps, they looked at Daniel, 03:07 and they were very jealous. 03:09 Oh, they were so jealous because Daniel... 03:13 They knew his history, they knew he was a Hebrew boy 03:16 once upon a time, 03:18 and they were not happy that he was in charge. 03:21 And so the satraps, a couple of them got together, 03:24 and they said, "Listen, 03:26 we got to get this Governor Daniel 03:29 in big trouble. 03:31 What are we going to do? 03:32 What are we going to do?" 03:34 And they thought about it, 03:35 they looked up information about him. 03:36 They asked people questions about Daniel, "Come here. 03:39 Come here. What do you know about Daniel? 03:41 What has he done that we can get him in big, big trouble?" 03:45 And guess what? 03:47 They found his socks. 03:49 They found dirty socks. 03:51 But then they discovered 03:52 that they weren't Daniel's socks. 03:55 Who's socks were they? 03:56 They were his friend's socks. 03:57 Yeah. 03:59 So they couldn't find anything to get Daniel in trouble with, 04:03 and they couldn't find anything, nothing. 04:06 So they thought hard and said "Oh, we got to think harder. 04:10 What can we do? What can we do?" 04:12 And then finally one of them had an idea. 04:15 He said, "Listen, guys, 04:16 the only way we can get Daniel in trouble 04:20 is if we get him to compromise. 04:22 If we get him to do something that his God 04:26 will not let him do." 04:27 Brilliant idea. 04:29 And so they looked at Daniel, 04:31 they were checking him every day. 04:33 And they discovered that Daniel prayed not once, not twice, 04:39 but how many times? 04:40 Three. Three times a day. 04:43 And they said "Daniel prays to his God. 04:47 We got it. 04:48 Let's go to the king and propose a law." 04:51 So they huddled together, 04:52 and they came up with this plan. 04:53 And so the next day they went to the king, 04:55 and they said, "King, live forever. 04:58 We have a law that we want you to sign." 05:01 And they said, "This law says that if anybody prays 05:05 to anything or anyone other than you, 05:07 O King, they will be thrown into a lion's den. 05:11 And this will be for 30 long days." 05:15 And the king said, "Sounds good to me." 05:17 So he signed that law, and it was in place. 05:21 And so the satraps now went and they hid behind the bushes 05:25 at Daniel's place and they looked at his window 05:28 to see if they would catch Daniel praying. 05:31 And sure enough, guess what, Daniel's custom was to pray 05:35 with the window wide open 05:37 'cause he loves to look up at the sky 05:39 and pray to his Father in heaven. 05:40 So Daniel prayed as his custom was. 05:43 And he opened those windows and the satraps saw him. 05:47 They saw him. 05:48 They said "There he is, praying to God, his God. 05:52 He's in trouble. 05:54 He's breaking the law." 05:55 And so they ran to the king and they reported Daniel, 05:58 and right away guards came and arrested Daniel 06:02 and the law had to be kept, 06:05 the king couldn't change the law. 06:07 And so they took Daniel, 06:09 and the consequence was being thrown into a lion's den. 06:14 Can you imagine how scary that would be, Neto? 06:16 What was like lion's den? 06:18 Was it like a cave with a bunch of lions inside? 06:20 It was like this deep hole on the ground. 06:23 And the only way to get down there 06:24 was to be thrown down. 06:26 And the lions were starved on purpose 06:29 so that they would be hungry 06:30 when it was time to throw somebody in. 06:33 That's double scary. 06:34 Super scary. 06:36 And so Daniel was taken. 06:39 He was brought into that top of that den, 06:42 and on the count of three, he was thrown in. 06:45 And he landed at the very bottom. 06:48 And he was immediately surrounded by lions. 06:51 And Daniel looked up towards heaven and he said, 06:55 "God, help me." 06:58 And, kids, what happened next is nothing short of a miracle. 07:03 Only a miracle could have done what happened. 07:07 Can you believe that the mouths of the lions, 07:10 every single one, guys, 07:12 without an exception was tight shut. 07:15 Whoa! 07:16 The lions did not even open their mouths... 07:20 Whoa! 07:21 To hurt Daniel. 07:23 And the angels of heaven appeared before Daniel. 07:26 And Daniel knew that he was being kept safe by God. 07:30 And he felt the presence of angels in that den, 07:33 and he glorified God, 07:35 and he knew that God was being faithful to him. 07:39 He was not hurt. 07:41 Well, the next morning, Darius, the king, 07:44 in fact, he couldn't sleep all night. 07:46 He went to the den the next morning, 07:48 and he showed up and he commanded 07:50 that the den be open and he said, 07:53 "Daniel, Daniel, are you alive?" 07:57 And there was silence. And he thought "Oh, no." 08:01 But then he heard a voice. 08:03 And it was the voice of Daniel saying, "Yes, O King. 08:07 Yes, I am alive. 08:09 For my God has delivered me from the lion's mouth." 08:13 And Darius was so happy, and he said, 08:17 "Guards, take Daniel up, 08:18 bring him, take him out of the den." 08:20 And he was pulled up. 08:22 And Darius gave Daniel a big hug, and said, 08:25 "Oh, Daniel, Daniel, blessed be your God." 08:28 And Daniel was able to show the king 08:32 and everyone else that there is a king, 08:35 there is a God in heaven who answers prayer. 08:39 You know what the consequence was for those satraps? 08:41 That's what I want to know. What happened to them? 08:43 Those satraps... 08:44 No lunch for a week. 08:46 Oh, it was worse than that. 08:47 Really? Yep. 08:48 What happened to them? 08:50 It was worse than that for what they were trying 08:51 to get Daniel to suffer, 08:55 they themselves were taken, 08:58 Neto, and they themselves were thrown 09:00 into the lion's den. 09:02 Pretty sad story ending for the satraps. 09:05 'Cause they didn't believe God, right? 09:06 But it was such a great ending for Daniel 09:09 because he was kept safe. 09:10 It is true that prayer makes a difference. 09:14 It makes all the difference because God answers prayer, 09:18 doesn't He, boys and girls? 09:20 Yes. God answers prayers. 09:22 All right, so that was our story. 09:24 What an amazing answer to prayers. 09:26 Daniel, remained faithful in the lion's den. 09:30 So don't go too far, we're going to come right back 09:32 and take our quiz. 09:34 We'll be see you soon. |
