Daniel
A faithful exile in Babylon, known for refusing to compromise and for being delivered from the lions’ den.
Taken to Babylon as a youth, Daniel served kings with integrity and interpreted dreams by God’s wisdom. He kept praying despite a royal decree.
Thrown into the lions’ den, he was miraculously preserved. His visions reveal God’s sovereign rule over history and the kingdoms of the world.
