So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.Īnd he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.” It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.” So he sent there horses and chariots and a great army, and they came by night and surrounded the city. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?” Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as 1I was found innocent before Him and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.” Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. We see this clearly in the Old and New Testament: The Bible describes the protective nature and role of angels. Is this belief grounded in popular media, cultural desire or Biblical revelation? These specially assigned, personal protectors are called “guardian angels”. Many people believe they have been assigned a specific angel in a one on one relationship. One popular conception about angels centers on their protective activity. Shows like Touched By An Angel and Highway to Heaven, for example, did more to shape the understanding of my generation than any other source of information, including God’s Word. But much of what we believe about angels comes from popular books, movies and televisions shows rather than the revelation of God. There are good reasons to believe in the existence of angelic beings, and the Bible describes their nature and mission on earth.
