2: Daniel. Daniel served a number of rulers in exile in Babylon. His fellow Jews Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the burning fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, whose descent into madness Daniel foretold from the king's dreams. Belshazzar asked him to interpret the mysterious inscription which appeared at a feast in the royal palace. And Darius the Mede was tricked into throwing him to the lions. Including excerpts from:
