The next two rulers occupied a throne a very brief time. The second of these was Nabonidus. He was king of the [[Babylon]]ian Empire, and his son, Belshazzar, was king of the city of [[Babylon]].

In chapter 6 Daniel is a man in his eighties. This proves that age is no barrier to serving Christ, nor is it any protection against temptations and testings. Because Daniel started young as a man of faith and prayer, he was faithful to the Lord even in his old age. In verse 10 we are told that Daniel prayed in a special chamber atop his house, three times a day. "Evening, and morning, and at noon will I pray and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice" (Psalm 55:17). So Daniel began his day with the Lord; mid-way through the day he talked with the Lord again; and then he ended his day with the Lord. Daniel had a special place for prayer; a special time for prayer; and you can be sure that he talked with the Lord, in his own way, all through the day! The account of [[Daniel ]] in the lion's den is probably familiar to all our readers. Therefore, we will only mention here that [[God ]] is faithful to care for His own in time of trouble. [[Daniel ]] had been a faithful follower of the [[Lord ]] throughout his life and now we see [[God ]] rewarding him for that faithfulness. In the time of trial and adversity, [[God ]] delivers [[Daniel]]--even from a den of lions.
