Thanks for this.<BR/>(I was raised by people who WERE very religious and now are not...after 40 years of being so).<BR/><BR/>I think if one took the Bible as metaphor it could be a lot more informative for me than having to read it literally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21895342.post-82907470205497138122008-04-18T01:00:00.000+01:002008-04-18T01:00:00.000+01:00the thing about the DANIEL story is eye believe DA...the thing about the DANIEL story is eye believe DANIELS GOD was JESUS the same LORD over all<BR/><BR/> On I Am Daniel <BR/>On I Am Daniel <BR/>AN Poet explanation. <BR/> <BR/>If King Darius was speaking thus it meant that he was thinking of poor Daniel in that cave and it could very well have come from him speaking to hisself to his inner conscience and so the reader can decide to read this verse as if KING Darius speaks it first… <BR/><BR/>Darius Speaking? <BR/><BR/>My heart so troubled earlier and earnestly seeking deliverance is now at rest and I can be blessed in every circumstance because I kept the faith of GOD a test but not from him to us this test is testing no one least of all this Daniel.

I never read the Bible with purpose. I mean, saying: I'm going to read the Bible. I read a kids' version of the OT when I was younger and I really enjoyed it. But I believe the NT must be more interesting perhaps. JC was an interesting guy ;)Devil Moodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083722657651175729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21895342.post-47811093342543656612008-04-16T17:23:00.000+01:002008-04-16T17:23:00.000+01:00that was interestingthat was interestingViolethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09557787754804697317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21895342.post-50584269576482283402008-04-15T20:19:00.000+01:002008-04-15T20:19:00.000+01:00http://poetrypoem.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?poemnumber=...http://poetrypoem.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?poemnumber=872470&sitename=charlax&password=&poemoffset=0&displaypoem=t&item=poetry<BR/><BR/> I am Daniel <BR/>www.poetrypoem.com/charlax<BR/>I am Daniel <BR/> <BR/>The king named Darius was not happy but he listened to the astrologer just one too many times and finally agreed this Daniel is just not doing the kingdoms business. Take him and lower him away into the lion's den he gave much thought to this it seemed so wrong to him his conscience finally cried and the good KING Darius almost died oh what is wrong with me and then HE ventured near the cave and cried "Daniel has your GOD saved you from the lions." <BR/> <BR/>I sit in utter darkenness no food or rest no help it seems the lions do not utter a sound it's so quiet in this cave no sounds no roars no hate inside these beasts. My lord the GOD has made them shut up all their want. I sit upon this rock and kneel beside this rock I pray and wait upon my GOD to save. <BR/>The silence is so strong the smell of cat is strong around me I felt them strain and halt in strang perplexity of need they seem so different now. <BR/>Darius was at the entrance to the cave waiting just to hear a word from Daniel mouth. My heart so troubled earlier and earnestly seeking deliverance is now at rest and I can be blessed in every circumstance because I kept the faith of GOD a test but not from him to us this test is testing no one least of all this Daniel. The lions do not roar. Daniel Spoke. <BR/>"Darius be of good cheer I am Daniel my GOD is a deliverer." Darius Spoke. <BR/>"Bring the astrologers here to this cave and get Daniel out of there." This was the Kings decree he was quite gleeful and happy about it and then command was given in a hard hard voice he cried <BR/>"Throw the worthless men in where Daniel lay." This order carried out may seem so harsh but without Judgment come to them what would they learn. <BR/>Now they are waiting somewhere else for GOD to come. <BR/>And life for DANIEL still goes on.CHARLAXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899004729115059825noreply@blogger.com
