Ray and Suzan read the infamous hidden chapter 14 of Daniel "Bel and the Dragon". Why is this not in the bible again??



In this "Bible Break" episode, Ray and Suzan Gauthier discuss and read Chapter 14 of Daniel, also known as "Bel and the Dragon," which is considered a hidden or apocryphal chapter not found in most modern Bibles (0:30). They explore the reasons for its exclusion, primarily the speculation that it was written or translated into Greek, unlike the rest of Daniel, which was in Aramaic and Hebrew (0:57).

The hosts emphasize that despite its exclusion, the chapter may hold valuable lessons and should be read with the spirit's guidance (2:26). They draw parallels to Chapter 13, "Susanna," which they previously read, highlighting Susanna's faithfulness to God despite immense pressure (2:48).

Ray and Suzan then proceed to read the entire "Bel and the Dragon" chapter (3:39). Key events from the chapter include:

• Daniel exposing the priests of Bel: Daniel proves to King Cyrus that the idol Bel does not consume offerings, but rather its 70 priests, their wives, and children secretly eat the provisions through a hidden entrance (6:14-12:19). The king, upon discovering the deceit, puts the priests to death and destroys Bel and its temple (12:00-12:22).

• Daniel killing the dragon: The Babylonians revere a great dragon as a living god. Daniel, with the king's permission, kills the dragon without a sword or club by feeding it cakes made of pitch, fat, and hair, causing it to burst open (12:41-14:38).

• Daniel in the lion's den (second instance): The Babylonians, enraged by the destruction of their gods and priests, compel the king to hand Daniel over to them. Daniel is then thrown into a lion's den for six days (15:20-17:04). The prophet Habakkuk is miraculously transported by an angel to bring food to Daniel in the den (17:20-18:20). On the seventh day, the king finds Daniel alive, praises the God of Daniel, pulls Daniel out, and throws those who sought Daniel's destruction into the den, where they are immediately eaten (18:35-19:00).

The hosts discuss that this account appears to be a second instance of Daniel being thrown into a lion's den, as the king in this story is Cyrus, while the more commonly known account involves King Darius (19:02-22:41). They conclude by encouraging viewers to share their opinions on whether this chapter should be included in the Bible and its overall significance (29:09).
