Like many of these stories there are several levels of understanding.
I suppose the basic message in todays context is that if a person were to believe and obey God even if it meant that he would pay for it with his life then God would act on that person's behalf.
It looks like Danial didn't know that he wouldn't be eaten, he just trusted god and did what God wanted.
I think they call that faith don't they? Believing/trusting and take the consequences.

THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, MOSES AND DANIEL IS THE GOD
At year 3460, 1804 yrs aft-flod, 907 yrs after Moses dies, there's no 420 yr old temple built by Solomon who died 391 yrs ago, the Promised Land is desolate, no Judah kings, all is captive to Babylon World Empire #3, 606 before Christ will be in Rome world Empire #6.
Books: Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel 1:2; Daniel 633 [ 606 B. C. [ 533 ];
Dan.1:4; In his position for education, Dan.6:2,3; Daniel position is high, to cause greed and a plot by others, he gets thrown into the lions den.
The Most High God respect Daniel and Daniel had remained just as, thrown into this world and its ways, he has held steadfast to God, the king was delighted that the angel of God spared Daniel, he decreed that all respect the God of Daniel.
Then Cyrus in World Empire #4, was 536 B. C. and Daniel is for sure in the third year with him.

It is one of many symbols of Christ, condemned to die for His righteousness, and raising from the grave.
The hardest part of Daniel's writings is Chapter 12, verses 11, 12. It is the only part of the Bible that was "closed and sealed up until the end of the days." You can break the code at http://abiblecode.tripod.com
Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

That section of Daniel is a record of a historical event. Because of Daniel's refusal to abandon his religion, he was sentenced to be executed. However God delievered him from death.
Being the record of an event, rather then a teaching, there is not a whole lot of "messae" in it - other then to follow his example and also refuse to abandon your faith in God.

Go and read a proper book and stop wasting your time on religion. It is the root cause of almost all the worlds troubles as it is followed by a bunch of hypocrites whichever one they choose.They all seem to preach about peace and love but at the end of the day none of them can get along with each other as they are so intolerant.
