Hungry Lions Follow GOD's Command


Daniel 6:22-24, "The king gave the order to throw Daniel into the lion's den (for worshiping the GOD of Israel) and said to him, 'May your GOD, whom you continually serve, rescue you!' At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lion's den and called out, 'Daniel, has the GOD, you continually serve, been able to rescue you from the lions?' Daniel answered, 'My GOD sent His angels and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in His sight.' The king was overjoyed. Daniel was lifted out of the lions den with not a scratch or wound found on him because he had trusted his GOD. The men falsely accusing Daniel, along with their wives and children, were thrown into the lion's den. The lions overpowered them and crushed their bones." The LORD's command to the hungry lions was not to touch Daniel. He did close their mouths, but nothing was mentioned of them not
crushing his bones or clawing him to death as they did Daniel's false accusers (and family members.)


I Kings 13:21-28, "The LORD says, 'You have defiled the Word of GOD and did not keep the command GOD gave you.' When the man finished eating and drinking the prophet brought him a saddled donkey and the man on the donkey left. As he went on his way a lion met him on the road and killed him. The prophet said, 'This man who defiled the Word of GOD, GOD has given over to the lion which mauled and killed him.' His body was on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey." Another case of animals doing the will of GOD and not harming one another. Only the man who defiled the Word of GOD met his punishment. 

No matter how man may try to understand animal psychology, they will not now know the communication Almighty GOD has with His animal kingdom. Psalm 145:21, "Let all His creatures praise His Holy Name forever and ever!" Romans 8:21, "The creatures themselves will be liberated from death and decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD." This speaks of the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem from which all things of this present universe will have passed away. Colossians 1:23, "This gospel (Jesus being the image of GOD and creating everything) has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven."

GOD's animal kingdom is going to be in eternity with mankind who have come to Jesus for salvation. You can know you are His chosen by simply humbling yourself and admitting to Him you are a sinner and asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins. He will, and His Holy Spirit will confirm this in you. Don't delay! Know Him today! Praise His Holy Name forever and ever along with His animal kingdom!
