From The Sixth Day
On the sixth day, God made me.
Adam then was ordered to name me.
Then after quite some time, a very strong man
With God's help, tore me apart with his own hands.
Then a most unfortunate young man of the dead king
Was put in a hole filled with some brothers and me.
However, an angel of God came down into the hole,
And then our mouths were shut, and we couldn't eat the poor soul.
My next big moment was beside God's throne,
Where I stand guard with six wings of my own.
You'll most often see me in zoos and parks.
Be careful though, 'cause I could tear you apart.
What am I?

Answer
A lion.According to the Bible, God made the beasts of the earth on the sixth day, and after which, Adam named them.
Samson met a lion in the wild, and when the lion attacked, the spirit of God came into Samson, and Samson tore the lion apart.
Daniel interpreted the writing on the wall for Belshazzar, the dead king of the time. He was placed in a den of lion's because he continued to worship God, which was against the rule of the new king. Then, an angel came in and shut the lions' mouths.
In Revelation, a lion stands beside God's throne and the lion has six wings.
The last stanza is self-explanatory.

the wings part threw me off!!!

nice one!!
it was extremely easy, but also VERY fun. im glad to see what you know about the Bible.great job! thanx
That was easy but fun.
took me a minute to think about it, but finally got it, good one
Great!! I love when they are about animals
Very nice I'm glad to see that someone here is posting something with theological significance to it, no matter how simple it is. Nonetheless it was a very good teaser.
Really good, i had to re-read it slowly to get it, but i appreciate bible-type trivia. Knowing my bible well, and currently studying the book of danniel, i got it rather easy, but i dont think most would
I'm sorry but mythology bores me. Nice work though.
Sorry. I didn't mean mythology. I meant biblical fairytales.
Will, Thimble, it's a good thing for you that there are no such things. But Spooky, you didn't mention the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! (Good teaser though)
Thimblenoggin, the Bible does not contain any fairy tales. The Bible is all truth. Let me tell you if you just realize that now and accept it as truth you will find it to be the only book that was truely inspired by God. He is not the author of confusion(1cor.14:33) The Bible does not contradict itself.
cute teaser, easy though
I liked it alot, I got it right away, but it was very good
I did not know we were going to get bible study today, or any day in the teaser. My apology to all of you who enjoy these stories, but it is not my thing.
I need to post a correction on my comment on the TOTD of yesterday regarding AuAg and the Denver airport and Australian airports.
If you missed the discussion you might want to hit the TOTD of yesterday. Look to the list on your left, here, and hit "Daily Teasers", then yesterdays'.
I got a couple of PeeEms, a reg e-mail, and a phone call from my bro, Jay (recovering in hospital from PPTSD) also.
The tie-in was NOT to an airport in Australia, but was to a deadly virus (AuAg) and the notion that some international airports (like Denver) have underground "internment camps" where "disbelievers"* are to be housed.
*"disbelievers", then, makes it relevant to todays TOTD discussion on biblical myths (if so) concerning the word of god.
(getting FUNNIER and FUNNIER - as we go along, here)
US (Jaye & all the bunnies)

Liked that. I got it.
LGM- this is not a garbage can-KEEP your trash at home!!!!!!
I must concur with thimblenoggin; not my cup of tea!
The first stanza threw me off because I could have sworn that all animals were created the same day, but I looked that up and I guess that was wrong.
IT's BAAAACK! I knew the reprieve from its ranting and raving could not last forever. At least we had a week of peace.
Doodles - just ignore it - it craves attention and if we don't give it any, it may eventually go away (wishful thinking I am sure).
But don't let it spoil your enjoyment of the site I just skip by its comments without reading them. I have no idea what it is on about in this latest blathering nor do I care.
It is a sad and lonely and apparently has no one to talk to in its actual life so comes on here and tries to act superior. I find it amusing that it has its flag set to the philipines, its "brother" was apparently somewhere in the US in the Central Time Zone yet they are both broadcasting an America IP address. If it wants us to believe it is in another country it isn't hard to dummy an address.
As far as the teaser goes, I did not care for it and don't think it belongs in the "riddle" category. Riddles can be solved with a bit of deductive reasoning this requires at least a rudimentary knowledge of the bible, it should be in the trivia section of the brain teasers
