Prophet #2 - Daniel

Today's first reading was from the Prophet Daniel. Daniel is one of the four major prophets. Do you remember what that means Tallulah?

Yes I do Cloë it means his book is a looong one!

Very good. Daniel was a young Jewish prophet who lived in Babylon.

Babylon?! If he was Jewish why did he not live in Israel.

You see Tallulah, about 600 years before Jesus was born, many of the Jewish people were taken captive and sent to Babylon, including Daniel. Ezekiel, who we talked about on Friday, was another of the Jewish prophets who had been sent to Babylon.

In his book, Daniel talks about all kinds of things including being a hero, staying true to God no matter what and that God will protect. He also talks about many adventures. The videos below show the story of one of his most famous adventures.

Oh I know, that's the time he ended up in the lion's den!
