Description

King Belshazzar has made Babylon a playground for fools. God reacts by sending Belshazzar a mysterious message, written in fire on the palace walls. Unable to interpret the message, the king calls on the Hebrew prophet, Daniel, for a translation. Daniel tells Belshazzar that he and his kingdom are doomed, a prophecy soon proven true by the Persian army. Daniel's wisdom and moral strength earn the admiration of Darius, the new ruler of Babylon, but also cause jealousy among lesser men. These men trick Darius into having Daniel arrested and thrown into a den of lions. Locked in this cage, Daniel's faith is put to the ultimate test. "Daniel and the Lion's Den" is one of a series of Bible stories as seen through the eyes of three young visitors from the 20th Century.
