The lions after Daniel left:

🔥 The Fiery Furnace (Daniel 3)

Why didn’t Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego panic?
They had fireproof faith.

It was the first message nobody wanted to receive.

Belshazzar drank from the temple’s sacred goblets at his big party. That’s the night the handwriting appeared on the wall “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin”. Translation: your kingdom’s lease is not being renewed.
