Daniel 1:1-2 “During the third year of King Jehoiakim’s reign in Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and beseiged it. The Lord gave him victory over King Jehoiakim of Judah and permitted him to take some of the sacred objects from the Temple of God. So Nebuchadnezzar took them back to the land of Babylonia and placed them in the treasure-house of his god.”
Just as King Nebuchadnezzar took the treasures from my temple and placed them into the temple of his false gods, so my children have taken the treasures I have given them and used them to worship their own false gods – self, power, money, fame. I have given life, abundance, health – all sacrificed on the altar of worship of self.
Daniel 6:10 “But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.”
Daniel obeyed me. Not man. Me. Will you be so brave and conscientious in the times of oppression that are coming? Will you be so bold as to continue to proclaim your allegiance to me, your obedience to me, your belief in and trust of me? Will you remain in me no matter what man does?
