Oh yeah. 00:02:06.96\00:02:08.96 Well, it would kind of depend 00:02:08.99\00:02:10.63 if you're going to be inside the cage 00:02:10.66\00:02:12.53 or outside the cage, right? 00:02:12.56\00:02:14.33 If you're going to be inside the cage, 00:02:14.36\00:02:15.73 well, I would be scared. 00:02:15.76\00:02:17.80 But today, I'm going to tell you a story of a man 00:02:17.83\00:02:20.74 who came face to face with lions 00:02:20.77\00:02:25.11 and was not afraid. 00:02:25.14\00:02:26.88 His name was Daniel. 00:02:26.91\00:02:29.68 And Daniel was a man who was made a governor 00:02:29.71\00:02:35.12 in the kingdom of Persia. 00:02:35.15\00:02:38.49 The King's name was Darius. 00:02:38.52\00:02:40.29 What was his name everyone? 00:02:40.36\00:02:41.69 Darius. Remember that. 00:02:41.72\00:02:43.73 It was Darius and he made Daniel one of three governors. 00:02:43.76\00:02:48.50 Now the governors had to be over 120, 00:02:48.53\00:02:54.24 that's a large group, 120 satraps. 00:02:54.27\00:02:57.11 They were like officers in the province of Persia. 00:02:57.14\00:03:00.31 And Daniel was in charge of them all. 00:03:00.38\00:03:03.45 And the satraps, they looked at Daniel, 00:03:03.48\00:03:07.12 and they were very jealous. 00:03:07.15\00:03:09.75 Oh, they were so jealous because Daniel... 00:03:09.78\00:03:13.49 They knew his history, they knew he was a Hebrew boy 00:03:13.56\00:03:16.76 once upon a time, 00:03:16.83\00:03:18.16 and they were not happy that he was in charge. 00:03:18.19\00:03:21.70 And so the satraps, a couple of them got together, 00:03:21.73\00:03:24.60 and they said, "Listen, 00:03:24.63\00:03:26.03 we got to get this Governor Daniel 00:03:26.07\00:03:29.87 in big trouble. 00:03:29.90\00:03:31.24 What are we going to do? 00:03:31.27\00:03:32.61 What are we going to do?" 00:03:32.64\00:03:33.98 And they thought about it, 00:03:34.01\00:03:35.34 they looked up information about him. 00:03:35.38\00:03:36.88 They asked people questions about Daniel, "Come here. 00:03:36.95\00:03:39.18 Come here. What do you know about Daniel? 00:03:39.21\00:03:41.38 What has he done that we can get him in big, big trouble?" 00:03:41.42\00:03:45.89 And guess what? 00:03:45.92\00:03:47.66 They found his socks. 00:03:47.69\00:03:49.19 They found dirty socks. 00:03:49.22\00:03:51.19 But then they discovered 00:03:51.23\00:03:52.56 that they weren't Daniel's socks. 00:03:52.59\00:03:54.96 Who's socks were they? 00:03:55.00\00:03:56.33 They were his friend's socks. 00:03:56.36\00:03:57.70 Yeah. 00:03:57.73\00:03:59.07 So they couldn't find anything to get Daniel in trouble with, 00:03:59.10\00:04:03.71 and they couldn't find anything, nothing. 00:04:03.74\00:04:06.78 So they thought hard and said "Oh, we got to think harder. 00:04:06.81\00:04:10.15 What can we do? What can we do?" 00:04:10.18\00:04:12.28 And then finally one of them had an idea. 00:04:12.31\00:04:15.32 He said, "Listen, guys, 00:04:15.35\00:04:16.69 the only way we can get Daniel in trouble 00:04:16.72\00:04:20.16 is if we get him to compromise. 00:04:20.19\00:04:22.96 If we get him to do something that his God 00:04:22.99\00:04:26.03 will not let him do." 00:04:26.06\00:04:27.66 Brilliant idea. 00:04:27.70\00:04:29.56 And so they looked at Daniel, 00:04:29.60\00:04:31.33 they were checking him every day. 00:04:31.37\00:04:33.47 And they discovered that Daniel prayed not once, not twice, 00:04:33.54\00:04:39.04 but how many times? 00:04:39.07\00:04:40.41 Three. Three times a day. 00:04:40.48\00:04:43.01 And they said "Daniel prays to his God. 00:04:43.04\00:04:47.12 We got it. 00:04:47.15\00:04:48.48 Let's go to the king and propose a law." 00:04:48.52\00:04:51.02 So they huddled together, 00:04:51.05\00:04:52.39 and they came up with this plan. 00:04:52.42\00:04:53.96 And so the next day they went to the king, 00:04:53.99\00:04:55.82 and they said, "King, live forever. 00:04:55.86\00:04:58.43 We have a law that we want you to sign." 00:04:58.46\00:05:01.30 And they said, "This law says that if anybody prays 00:05:01.33\00:05:05.03 to anything or anyone other than you, 00:05:05.07\00:05:07.67 O King, they will be thrown into a lion's den. 00:05:07.70\00:05:11.51 And this will be for 30 long days." 00:05:11.54\00:05:15.38 And the king said, "Sounds good to me." 00:05:15.41\00:05:17.91 So he signed that law, and it was in place. 00:05:17.95\00:05:21.95 And so the satraps now went and they hid behind the bushes 00:05:21.98\00:05:25.45 at Daniel's place and they looked at his window 00:05:25.49\00:05:28.39 to see if they would catch Daniel praying. 00:05:28.42\00:05:31.19 And sure enough, guess what, Daniel's custom was to pray 00:05:31.23\00:05:35.70 with the window wide open 00:05:35.73\00:05:37.07 'cause he loves to look up at the sky 00:05:37.10\00:05:39.10 and pray to his Father in heaven. 00:05:39.13\00:05:40.84 So Daniel prayed as his custom was. 00:05:40.87\00:05:43.81 And he opened those windows and the satraps saw him. 00:05:43.84\00:05:47.48 They saw him. 00:05:47.51\00:05:48.84 They said "There he is, praying to God, his God. 00:05:48.88\00:05:52.95 He's in trouble. 00:05:52.98\00:05:54.32 He's breaking the law." 00:05:54.35\00:05:55.85 And so they ran to the king and they reported Daniel, 00:05:55.88\00:05:58.82 and right away guards came and arrested Daniel 00:05:58.85\00:06:02.56 and the law had to be kept, 00:06:02.59\00:06:05.39 the king couldn't change the law. 00:06:05.43\00:06:07.33 And so they took Daniel, 00:06:07.40\00:06:09.03 and the consequence was being thrown into a lion's den. 00:06:09.06\00:06:14.37 Can you imagine how scary that would be, Neto? 00:06:14.40\00:06:16.74 What was like lion's den? 00:06:16.81\00:06:18.14 Was it like a cave with a bunch of lions inside? 00:06:18.17\00:06:20.58 It was like this deep hole on the ground. 00:06:20.61\00:06:23.04 And the only way to get down there 00:06:23.08\00:06:24.78 was to be thrown down. 00:06:24.81\00:06:26.21 And the lions were starved on purpose 00:06:26.25\00:06:29.15 so that they would be hungry 00:06:29.18\00:06:30.62 when it was time to throw somebody in. 00:06:30.69\00:06:33.25 That's double scary. 00:06:33.29\00:06:34.69 Super scary. 00:06:34.72\00:06:36.06 And so Daniel was taken. 00:06:36.09\00:06:39.33 He was brought into that top of that den, 00:06:39.36\00:06:42.76 and on the count of three, he was thrown in. 00:06:42.80\00:06:45.73 And he landed at the very bottom. 00:06:45.77\00:06:47.97 And he was immediately surrounded by lions. 00:06:48.00\00:06:51.44 And Daniel looked up towards heaven and he said, 00:06:51.47\00:06:55.01 "God, help me." 00:06:55.04\00:06:58.55 And, kids, what happened next is nothing short of a miracle. 00:06:58.58\00:07:03.72 Only a miracle could have done what happened. 00:07:03.79\00:07:07.66 Can you believe that the mouths of the lions, 00:07:07.69\00:07:10.93 every single one, guys, 00:07:10.96\00:07:12.29 without an exception was tight shut. 00:07:12.33\00:07:15.30 Whoa! 00:07:15.33\00:07:16.67 The lions did not even open their mouths... 00:07:16.70\00:07:20.37 Whoa! 00:07:20.44\00:07:21.87 To hurt Daniel. 00:07:21.90\00:07:23.27 And the angels of heaven appeared before Daniel. 00:07:23.30\00:07:26.07 And Daniel knew that he was being kept safe by God. 00:07:26.11\00:07:30.75 And he felt the presence of angels in that den, 00:07:30.78\00:07:33.82 and he glorified God, 00:07:33.85\00:07:35.42 and he knew that God was being faithful to him. 00:07:35.45\00:07:39.59 He was not hurt. 00:07:39.62\00:07:41.06 Well, the next morning, Darius, the king, 00:07:41.09\00:07:44.06 in fact, he couldn't sleep all night. 00:07:44.13\00:07:46.06 He went to the den the next morning, 00:07:46.09\00:07:48.76 and he showed up and he commanded 00:07:48.80\00:07:50.87 that the den be open and he said, 00:07:50.90\00:07:53.03 "Daniel, Daniel, are you alive?" 00:07:53.07\00:07:57.61 And there was silence. And he thought "Oh, no." 00:07:57.64\00:08:01.01 But then he heard a voice. 00:08:01.04\00:08:03.11 And it was the voice of Daniel saying, "Yes, O King. 00:08:03.14\00:08:07.32 Yes, I am alive. 00:08:07.35\00:08:09.12 For my God has delivered me from the lion's mouth." 00:08:09.15\00:08:13.19 And Darius was so happy, and he said, 00:08:13.22\00:08:17.06 "Guards, take Daniel up, 00:08:17.13\00:08:18.89 bring him, take him out of the den." 00:08:18.93\00:08:20.93 And he was pulled up. 00:08:20.96\00:08:22.33 And Darius gave Daniel a big hug, and said, 00:08:22.36\00:08:24.97 "Oh, Daniel, Daniel, blessed be your God." 00:08:25.00\00:08:28.87 And Daniel was able to show the king 00:08:28.90\00:08:32.31 and everyone else that there is a king, 00:08:32.34\00:08:35.58 there is a God in heaven who answers prayer. 00:08:35.61\00:08:39.41 You know what the consequence was for those satraps? 00:08:39.45\00:08:41.68 That's what I want to know.
