How a group of Lions saved Christians from execution by Islamic Militants

A miraculous event that echoed the legendary account of Daniel in the lions’ den came to pass in a world where faith and courage were frequently put to the ultimate test. Everyone was in awe of this narrative of remarkable deliverance, unwavering faith, and supernatural intervention.

Daniel 6:19–22: The king rose at first light and hastened to the lions’ den. “Daniel, the servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” he said in frantic tones as he approached the den. “My God sent his angel, and he shut the lions’ mouths,” was Daniel’s response. They have not harmed me.

The story you are about to read is not just about deliverance from lions; instead, God uses the lions to rescue Christians who were attacked because of their faith in Jesus Christ. This is similar to Daniel’s story, which teaches us about the promises and faithfulness of God, even if we are faced with death and feel like everything has been lost.

Director of Bibles for Mideast, Pastor Paul Ciniraj, shares how three lions saved him and several Christians from inevitable deaths. The enormous cats attacked and scared the bloodthirsty group of Islamic extremists who were pursuing Ciniraj and his crew.

“My risen Lord Jesus Christ has saved my life once again,” Pastor Paul wrote, “and I praise and thank God for His unspeakable grace!” It was Easter Sunday when the miracle took place. The pastor was recovering in the home of some friends following a stoning attack by Islamists earlier that day. “Suddenly, a group of militants reached the house, armed with steel bars and other weapons,” he reported to WND.

Pastor Ciniraj feared for the lives of the eighty-year-old residents and several other children who were seeking safety in the house with him, believing this to be the end of the road for him.

“Losing all hope, we thought for sure this was our last day,” he said. They only had just one more thing to do: pray. Then, something truly Biblical took place!

“Completely unexpectedly, a lion ran from the forest, leapt toward the militants, and seized one by the neck. When other combatants tried to attack the lion, two other lions bounded toward them. The terrified militants fled the site, and the lions left us completely alone,” he said.

“Equally astonishing, records show no lions are supposed to live in that forest,” he said.

The fantastic story of God reaching out to save his people is told.

Ciniraj stated that he was nearing the end of a 21-day period during which he had been fasting and praying.

“As that drew to a close, more than 3,000 former Muslims were baptized in many of our churches in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East,” he said.

“The Lord enabled me to baptize many people during this time.”

What a marvelous story of God’s might! Thank God for His protection today! To inspire courage in others, share this.
