The Book of Daniel, a significant text within the Old Testament, is replete with miraculous events that underscore the sovereignty and power of God. These miracles serve as divine interventions that not only deliver God's faithful servants but also reveal His supremacy over earthly kingdoms and pagan deities. Below is a catalogue of the key miracles recorded in the Book of Daniel:

1. Daniel's Interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's Dream (Daniel 2:1-49): King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon experienced a troubling dream that none of his wise men could interpret. God revealed the dream and its meaning to Daniel in a vision. Daniel's ability to recount and interpret the dream demonstrated God's omniscience and His control over future events. Daniel declared, "There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries" (Daniel 2:28).

2. The Fiery Furnace (Daniel 3:1-30): Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three Hebrew men, refused to worship the golden image set up by Nebuchadnezzar. As a result, they were cast into a blazing furnace. Miraculously, they emerged unharmed, and a fourth figure, described as "like a son of the gods" (Daniel 3:25), was seen with them. This miracle affirmed God's protection over His faithful and led Nebuchadnezzar to praise the God of Israel.

3. Nebuchadnezzar's Madness and Restoration (Daniel 4:28-37): As a consequence of his pride, Nebuchadnezzar was struck with madness and lived like a beast for seven years. This was a fulfillment of a divine warning given through a dream interpreted by Daniel. After the appointed time, Nebuchadnezzar's sanity was restored, and he acknowledged God's eternal dominion, saying, "His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation" (Daniel 4:34).

4. The Writing on the Wall (Daniel 5:1-31): During a feast hosted by King Belshazzar, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote on the wall. None of the king's wise men could interpret the writing, but Daniel was summoned and revealed its meaning. The message foretold the imminent fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians. That very night, Belshazzar was slain, fulfilling the divine pronouncement.

5. Daniel in the Lions' Den (Daniel 6:1-28): Under the reign of Darius the Mede, Daniel was thrown into a den of lions for defying a royal edict that prohibited prayer to any god or man other than the king. God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths, and Daniel was unharmed. This miracle led Darius to issue a decree that all should fear and reverence the God of Daniel, acknowledging, "He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth" (Daniel 6:27).

6. Daniel's Visions and Prophecies (Daniel 7-12): Throughout the latter chapters of the book, Daniel receives a series of visions and prophecies concerning future kingdoms and the end times. These revelations, filled with symbolic imagery, are considered miraculous insights into God's divine plan for history. They emphasize God's ultimate victory and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom.

The miracles in the Book of Daniel highlight God's intervention in human affairs, His protection of the faithful, and His ultimate authority over all creation. These events serve as powerful testimonies to God's power and faithfulness, encouraging believers to trust in His providence and sovereignty.

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: for as much as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no hurt.
