Miraculously he is unharmed, and in the morning an ecstatic Darius pitches DanielвЂ™s accusers to the lions where they are immediately devoured. In the lionвЂ™s den, Daniel prepares for the worst while asserting his faith in God. He is caught and must be punished by the decree of the reluctant king. But Daniel continues to pray three times a day toward Jerusalem. Jealous competitors manipulate the king into signing a law that forbids anyone to worship any other god for a month. In the fourth faith-event, Daniel has a high position of trust under Darius, a new king.

The king acknowledges the superiority of God, and gives the three men a promotion in their work. When the king peers into the furnace, he exclaims вЂI see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.вЂ™ When the three men exit the furnace, not even a sniff of smoke clings to their unburnt clothes. Nebuchadnezzar is irate and throws the men bound with ropes into an overheated furnace. In the third faith-event Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who are Jewish companions of Daniel, refuse to worship a golden statue of the king. Nebuchadnezzar is impressed, and appoints Daniel to rule over Babylon. The dream is about a huge and frightening man-image of gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay, which represent five sequential empires: Babylon, Medes & Persians, Greece, Rome, and the Kingdom of God. He tells the king what the dream was, and then interprets it, making sure to give credit to God. But he has forgotten the dream! Although under sentence of death, and facing an impossible task, Daniel offers to do it. In the second faith-event, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar has a terrifying dream, and calls his astrologers and wizards to interpret it.

After a couple weeks, they appear healthier than the local lads, and are chosen to serve the king. During their training they talk their supervisor into a diet of vegetables and water, instead of the usual pork and dessert and wine. In the first faith-event, several Jewish youngsters are candidates to be king NebuchadnezzarвЂ™s personal attendants. DanielвЂ¦.the actor Robert Miano (click to enlarge or to source).
