1. Even though Daniel was an old man, he refused to take the easy way out and abandon God. The threat of an agonizing death did not change his trust in God. He chose trusting God over disobeying him, even if it meant death.
2. Daniel is a type of Christ, a godly Bible character who foreshadowed the coming Messiah. He is called blameless. In the lions’ den miracle, Daniel’s trial resembles that of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, and Daniel’s escape from certain death is like Jesus’ resurrection.
3. God was not concerned with man’s laws. He saved Daniel because Daniel obeyed God’s law and was faithful to him.
