In Daniel 6, we are reminded of the nearness of God's Kingdom and that it can break through in the most unexpected times and places.
Daniel spent decades living in exile, and a major question throughout the accounts of his life is: What kingdom is he living in? Is he living in Babylon or the Kingdom of God?
The answer is both. Yet, often times, the world around Daniel looks a lot more like Babylon than it does Heaven. Even in his darkest moments, Daniel holds on to hope that God is still the ultimate authority and that His Kingdom reigns. And sometimes that Kingdom shows up in the most hopeless of places. In the case of Daniel 6, it shows up in the lion's den.
