FIERY FURNACE AND LIONS’ DEN – Apocalypse #12

“Into the Lions’ Den!  God Saves From Death”
Daniel, Chapters 3 & 6
The Fiery Furnace & the Lions’ Den

Persecutions (not “comfort”) are what is promised to God’s People, whether Jewish at the hands of the Babylonians/Selucids, or Christian at the hands of anyone. If suffering is an inevitable calling, then how does the Book of Daniel address that reality for God’s People.

Fr. Bill continues his series on Apocalypse as he looks at two of the most well known and beloved stories of the Bible and applies them to a very real experience suffered by Jews and Christians.
