DANIEL IN THE LIONS’ DEN
A Remarkable Foreshadowing of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Two powerful Bible studies | Daniel Chapter 6 | Discovering Christ in the Old Testament
Could the extraordinary story of Daniel in the lions’ den reveal far more than we first imagine?
Join us for this fascinating
two-part Bible study series, as we explore the remarkable parallels between the prophet Daniel’s experience in the lions’ den and the
condemnation, death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Often remembered simply as a story of faith and miraculous deliverance, Daniel chapter 6 contains an extraordinary prophetic pattern that points forward to the work of the Messiah.
Through careful comparison of Scripture with Scripture, these two presentations uncover the connections between
Daniel’s unjust condemnation, his descent into the sealed den, his miraculous deliverance at dawn, and the ultimate triumph of Jesus Christ over sin and death.
📖 TALK 1
Descent to the Den: A Type of the Condemned Messiah
An innocent man. A jealous conspiracy. An unchangeable law. A sentence of death.
Discover how the circumstances surrounding Daniel’s condemnation foreshadow the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
Just as Daniel was blameless yet betrayed by jealous rulers, so Jesus was delivered into the hands of those who sought His destruction.
We explore the remarkable similarities between the two accounts, including the plotting of enemies, the reluctant involvement of earthly rulers, the demands of the law, and the sealing of Daniel’s den — a striking parallel with Christ’s burial in the sealed tomb.
Could Daniel’s descent into the lions’ den be a prophetic picture of Christ entering the grave?
📖 TALK 2
Deliverance at Dawn: A Type of the Risen Messiah
The stone was sealed. Death appeared certain. But God had the final word.
The story does not end in the darkness of the den!
Discover how Daniel’s miraculous deliverance at dawn provides a remarkable foreshadowing of
the resurrection and vindication of Jesus Christ.
Just as Daniel emerged alive and unharmed because he was found innocent before God, so Christ, the perfectly righteous Son of God, was raised from the dead, having overcome the power of the grave.
We also examine the judgment of Daniel’s accusers and the extraordinary decree of King Darius, proclaimed throughout his kingdom, which anticipates the worldwide proclamation of the Gospel and the triumph of God's purpose through His Son.
From condemnation to vindication, from darkness to deliverance, from the grave to everlasting life!

History's Most Important Event - Proving the Resurrection with J.Hensley
A @Christadelphians Video: Description:
There is more evidence for Jesus’ existence than any other person in history. The fact that Jesus Christ existed, was crucified and rose from the dead is proved by the overwhelming evidence from historians, both Christian, secular and Jewish.
[Provable Bible Truth] - What question does this video answer, why watch it?
**What question does this video answer?**
Does history support the Bible's claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead? We examine a wealth of historical sources—both Jewish and secular—to demonstrate that Jesus existed, was crucified, and that His resurrection is historically credible. As we say, "Scripture clearly holds precedence over history... and yet it's very interesting to see that history aligns with Scripture."
**Why watch it?**
Most people believe Jesus never existed—in the UK, only about 40% think He was real. This video equips you with powerful historical evidence to strengthen your faith and share it with others. We show that "there is actually more evidence for Jesus's existence than almost any other person in history," and that the resurrection is not myth but historical fact. You will be inspired, informed, and better prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you.

A @Christadelphians Video: [Provable Bible Truth] - Why watch it? What question does this video answer?
We review the 2026 Australian Bible Prophecy Days, where Brother Jonathan Bowen presented “The Day of the Lord: Current Events in the Light of Bible Prophecy.” This video answers: If prophecy is being fulfilled around us, how should we live? From the transcript, the answer is clear: prophecy is not given to satisfy curiosity or create chronology experts. It must awaken our hearts, produce steadfastness, holiness and readiness. We are living on the edge of the kingdom. Christ comes as a thief: “Blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garments.” Signs—Israel restored, Hebrew revived, Turkish rule removed from Jerusalem, guardian nations—confirm the nearness. Therefore watch, put on the armour of light, and be found waiting with lamps burning.
