Jesus Hidden in the Lion's Den
We know Jesus was the fourth man with Daniel's three friends in the fire of the furnace.
Is it possible in the tomb of the lions den Jesus was with Daniel hidden and not on the surface?
Can the whole life of Jesus be contained in the book of Daniel?
The life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus hidden deep in God's manual?
Daniel is preferred above the King's men (Dan.6:3).
Jesus is preferred above John the Baptist who was his kin (Jn.1:15).
Can this be a veiled prophecy?
Revelations of God buried deep in secrecy?
The Kings men sought to kill Daniel was the plan (Dan.6:4)
The chief priests and religious leaders sought to kill Jesus the man (Mk.14:55)
But the rulers of Babylon plan backfired.
And Jesus rose from the dead for in his divinity he was hotwired.
The foolish leaders could find no fault or error in him (Dan.6:4)
Pilate examined Jesus and saw in him no sin.
Even though Daniel knew the traps set before him, he prayed toward Jerusalem (Dan.6:10)
Christ knew his fate and set his face towards the new Jerusalem (Lk.9:53)
Daniel kneeled and prayed three times a day (Dan.6:10)
Jesus prayed in the garden three times and there was no more to say (Matt.26:44)
The King was saddened and wanted Daniel to be delivered (Dan.6:14)
Jesus was an innocent man and Pilate sought a way to release him and shivered ((Jn.19:12)
The Kings men cast Daniel into the lions den to watch him die on (Dan.6:16)
The Psalms speaks of the Messiah saved from the jaws of the lions (Ps.22:21)
They put a large stone on the mouth of the den (Dan.6:17)
They rolled a great stone in a borrowed tomb Christ was lend (Matt.27:60)
So Daniel was taken up and saved by God (Dan.6:23)
And Jesus disciples watched Jesus taken up while all the angels applaud (Acts 1:9)
God answered Daniel's prayer and he was vindicated.
The resurrection was Jesus vindication, just like the prophets predicted.
