"To most spiritually dead people, the Bible and the Book of Daniel is nothing more than a collection of ancient Jewish-Hebrew Folktales that record the primitive pastoralist history of the Hebrew people. To most the Bible seems not relevant for today 'BUT' for us who have been 'Born Again' by the power of the 'Blood of Jesus Christ' the Bible and especially the Book of Daniel contains the revealed FUTURE of this planet and through its pages we find thee LIVING WORD of our Eternal Creator as RELEVANT and POWERFUL as ever , those who dare believe it's 'Message of Salvation / Redemtion' are freely offered 'Eternal Life' via the only true King of the Jews : Yeshua : Jesus Christ !!!"
Below are some major Lessons / Spiritual Facts that we should all learn from studying the Book of Daniel. The Book of Daniel has some major unique 'Spiritual Insights' that no other book in the Bible has and it eschatologically : confirms, concords and compliments the veracity of the Book of Revelation and vice versa. The Book of Daniel most definitely is NOT a dead nor an irrelevant Book; for it REVEALS to us a MAJOR endtimes sign : The world's final power with 10 horns that will arise shortly before the Second Coming of : Jesus Christ and the revelation of the rebirth of the State of Israel along with the construction of it's final TEMPLE in Jerusalem in this final generation !!! EUinProphecy is 'NOT' here nor was it created to waste anyone's time; we SHALL make history in more ways than one, so please keep praying for us *
Lesson # 1 . YHWH : The HOLY ONE of ISRAEL is absolutely 'NOT' limited to Israel's borders alone 'BUT' HE sovereignly has the POWER to 'REMOVE' any and all earthly Pagan King's / Governments at will and during the Great Tribulation GOD is going to DESTROY 'ALL' the godless Capitals of this corrupt planet; don't believe for a second that all the godless world leaders are going to get away with their unholy laws and numerous other 'Legalized' abominations that went against GOD's commandments !!! ( Revelation 16 : 19 and Daniel 4 : 17 )
Lesson # 2. GOD controls human history, HIS 'Decrees' are enforced by numerous 'Powerful Angelic like Watchers' who have been delegated by GOD to oversee Israel's diaspora and it's regathering. GOD has a super-intelligence network that surpasses the birth / creation of the : KGB, CIA, MOSSAD, MI6 by thousands upon thousands of years !!! Although GOD indeed is Omnipresent HE has chosen to 'Delegate' power to HIS authorized Angelic servants down here on Earth and if you think your government is stockpiling secret information on you; GOD has been doing such a thing on EVERY single human being who has ever lived, GOD has a RECORD of every : Action, Word and Thing that each human being has made / done since their birth and all will be on DISPLAY as open evidence during the Great White Throne Judgement !!! ( Those in the Great White Throne Judgement are there because they NEVER repented and ignored / rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ; in sum they all died in their Sins and EVERYONE before the Great White throne will have to give an account for each and every unrepented single 'Sin' that they committed throughout their lifetime !!! Matthew 12 : 36 )
Lesson # 3. GOD : ELOHIM : YHWH, not only controls 'TIME' but HE also is thee ONLY ONE who determines when HIS judgements 'BEGIN' and when they 'END' as perfectly exemplified in the Prophecy of Daniel's 70 Weeks !!! ( Meaning that Satan has 'NO' such power nor say in such great matters, Satan can ONLY operate when GOD sovereignly allows him to and during the Great Tribulation GOD 'Allows' Satan's chief henchman to militarily overtake Israel and cause great world wide destruction for 42 months ONLY !!!
..
Lesson # 4. GOD has thee POWER to bring 'ANY' Earthly and mortal King / Empire to his / its knees if HE sovereignly so desires and this is perfectly exemplified when King Nebuchadnezzar is turned into a wild animal by GOD for 7 long years !!! ( Daniel 4 : 25 ) Most Liberal and ungodly leaders / governments are already acting like 'Wild Animals' who could care less about GOD's Holy Laws; thus there is no need for GOD to bring them immediately into judgement for they ALREADY have voluntarily descended into their own judgements to a degree * ( GOD has / is allowing them to decline further into their own reprobated minds *)
Lesson # 5. GOD is a great, very great 'REWARDER' of those who Honor HIM and Glorify HIM and the Prophet Daniel was himself a prime example that GOD will 'NOT' forget those who CHOOSE to 'NOT' be corrupted by the unholy Babylonian Ways and spirt of this corrupt and wicked world; GOD was there with Daniel in the Lion's DEN ( Via an Angel of the LORD*) and HE was also there when Daniel was thrown in the fire !!! ( Daniel 6 : 22 ) Don't you as a 'Child of GOD' ever be envious of the wicked, don't envy their sexual immorality, don't envy their ill gotten $$$ gains, don't envy their unholy lifestyle; GOD is going to greatly REWARD your : faithfulness, your Fasting, your Holy living 'BUT' never , ever envy the way of the wicked and godless for their evil laugh is temporary !!!
Lesson # 6. As 'Messed Up and Chaotic' as this world may appear ( rampant crime, death, sickness, injustice, persecution etc*) GOD has put a supernatural protection around those who serve HIM !!! 'NO' demon 'NO' wicked human being and 'NOT' even Satan himself can take the life of any of GOD's servants without HIS authorization; in the end the Prophet Daniel most likely dies of a natural death and after having lived a full and long life in Babylon 'BUT' not before glorifying the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL far away from Jerusalem and it's Temple for 'WE' are the living Temples of GOD ALMIGHTY !!! ( Because of Daniel's strong living holy Testimony many Babylonian's were exposed to YHWH Thee HOLY GOD of Israel !!! )
Lesson # 7. 'NOTHING' catches GOD by surprised, HE already knows who the final world Empire / Government will be, HE knows the names of the final 10 King's, their addresses, their blood types, their DNA Codes and even their e-mail addresses as well as their cell numbers !!! Don't ever believe for a second that GOD has lost control of this planet; on the CONTRARY 'HE' is going to keep sustaining it until HIS full WRATH is poured out on unrepentant sinners during the Great Tribulation, GOD is not letting of the WICKED and UNHOLY off that easily, there's 21 Judgements alone in the Book of Revelation and human history can 'NOT' end until GOD's plans are fulfilled to the last letter and Prophecy !!!
Lesson # 8. GOD hears and answers the PRAYERS of those who fear Him and Abide in His WORD. ( Daniel 10 : 12 ) We can 'NOT' and should 'NOT' compare Daniel to the lives of other Prophets ( each Prophet of GOD had a distinct calling and don't you ever compare yourself to any other servant of GOD*) Daniel did 'NOT' call 'Fire from Heaven' as did Elijah nor did he 'Heal' anyone like many 'Signs and Wonders Ministers' claim to be doing on T.V. and yet our LORD Jesus Christ called Daniel a full fledged Prophet. Recently this servant of GOD saw and heard a 'Famous Apostle' on T.V. make fun of John the Baptist because John never made any 'Healing Miracles' like this 'Supposed Apostle' claims to be making and it's interesting how come none of those 'T.V. Healers' make their way to the nearest Hospital and empty the place of the sick and dying; can they only do 'Miracles' on their T.V. Program ???
Lesson # 9. Long before men invented : Airplanes, Computers, T.V's, Global Satellites, Nuclear Weapons etc. GOD had revealed the FUTURE to Daniel. GOD alone has absolute control over 'ALL' human governments including the final 10 King's mentioned in Revelation and GOD uses Israel's enemies 'Time After Time' as an instrument of HIS judgement upon HIS rebellious people and Babylon and it's King Nebuchadnezzar was 'NOT' the exception; we observe GOD using Egyptian Pharaoh's for some 400 years, Assyrian King's and not to mention Pagan Rome. In the Book of Revelation GOD uses the final 10 King's to inflict Judgement upon the religious Whore System of Mystery Babylon as well as against Israel after the 'Abomination of Desolation' takes place because they will obviously authorize a Military Strike and Invasion of Israel in those days of Jacob's Trouble !!!
The King who became like a wild animal and the First Beast of Daniel : The Babylonian Empire. In Daniel 4 : 25 -35 King Nebuchadnezzar is PUNISHED by GOD for 7 years; King Nebuchadnezzar was 'Spiritually Blind' ( much like the spiritual myopia of most of our present world leaders*) he made the mistake of believing that he alone made Babylon possible, he failed to REALIZE that GOD is really the REAL : Owner, Creator and Sustainer of planet Earth and that Babylon was only possible because GOD was the one who engineered / created : the Rivers, the Water, the Clouds, our Sun and the Quintillions+ of stars !!! Babylon was geographically and strategically situated along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers making it one of the most FERTILE on the planet ( Fertile Crescent / Mesopotamia Region*) thus allowing for a thriving Babylonian City-State to be possible to begin with !!! The TRUTH is that we are 'ALL' stewards of GOD's creation, we had nothing to do with the creation of the : ATOM, the Planets, the Galaxy etc. King Nebuchadnezzar 'Never' CREATED a : Palm Tree, he never engineered a major River nor much less fed the population of the entire Earth and all of it's creatures, the TRUTH is that we all EXIST and LIVE 'SOLELY' because GOD allows us to. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE was created for GOD's pleasure !!! ( The unfortunate and modern / present day role of MOST world leaders and CEO's of Major Global Corporations is much, much worse than that of King Nebuchadnezzar, too many Global Leaders through their 'Corruption and Greed' are quite literally DESTROYING our Earth, Polluting our Drinkable Streams of Water, Poisoning our Air and all just for $$$ Money, Woe to them that destroyeth GOD's Creation !!! )
Lesson # 10. NOBODY can fool GOD. In the end all the enemies of GOD mentioned in the Book of Daniel ultimately suffers GOD's judgement and although Israel and it's chosen rebellious people continue to be under GOD's judgement; GOD does 'NOT' ignore the many piled up sins and abominations of : Pagan Nations, King's and Empires !!! We also LEARN that GOD will 'NOT' reveal HIMSELF nor HIS eternal plans to just about anybody; the Prophet Daniel paid a great price, Daniel was 'NO' spiritual hypocrite he actually LIVED what he believed even at the cost of his own life as evidence of being thrown to the Lions and also to the unbelievable Fire pit mentioned in Daniel ( blazing furnace *) !!! ( Daniel 3 : 26 ) What i'm about to say is purely a 'Personal Spiritual Opinion' too many American believers if confronted with Daniel's 'Life and Death' trial would 'NOT' pass the 'Test' too many American believers leave the Church and the Gospel because they were 'Offended' by trivial matters and one too many just return into the Babylonian Lifestyle because they were never 'Born Again' to begin with, they have one foot in the 'World' and one foot in a Church and they are really just fooling themselves !!! In most 3rd World countries 'Believers' are suffering 'Life and Death' persecution and they are 'NOT' complaining about not having a new Carpet in the 'Church building' or about a broken down air-conditioner or complaining to GOD about not having a brand new car; in some developing countries 'Genuine Believers' : walk, pedal and jog sometimes 20 -100 miles to attend Sunday services and when they do get to the 'Temple' they do 'NOT' keep gazing at their watch to see how soon the service will be over !!!
Lesson # 11. Jesus Christ Himself declared that His 'Kingdom was NOT of this World' and yet we have numerous Prosperity Preachers falsely 'Declaring and Decreeing' their false 'Dominion Theology' !!! In the Book of Daniel we OBSERVE GOD using a Pagan King and Empire to serve 'HIS' sovereign purposes; GOD has HIS own 'ETERNAL THRONE' and HE does 'NOT' depend on mortal human Kingdoms / Governments be they geographically located in : Washington D.C. Moscow or the Vatican; GOD's Throne eclipses any that can be imagined, YES eventually Yeshua will establish a Kingdom under this heaven that will have 'NO' end !!! In the meantime any fool who thinks that GOD needs our help in overthrowing corrupt governments are going to learn the 'Hard Way' ( like being wandering in the desert for 40 years !!! ) that GOD sometimes allows wicked leaders to arise to serve as HIS judgement upon rebellious and unrepentant human beings
In conclusion, this week's ARTICLE was 'NOT' meant to be an exhaustive list of all LESSONS that we should all learn from the Book of Daniel. ( i may have missed some other important points*) GOD is absolutely 'NOT' dependent on ANY Israeli Leader 'Past nor Present' nor on any 'American Leader Neither' GOD is sovereign and GOD has been doing a great job of taking CARE of ISRAEL long, long before : Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu were ever born and were elected to power. GOD's Ways our not our ways and we learn that ALTHOUGH Daniel was faithful to GOD until the very end Daniel dies in Babylon, far away from the Land of his Parents, far away from the Temple in Jerusalem 'BUT' not far away from GOD !!! PLEASE : READ, STUDY and RE-READ the Book of Daniel for yourself !!! ( This student of Theology does 'NOT' accept the Apocryphal Roman Catholic / Orthodox additional Book of Daniel ( Chapter 13 + ) that mentions : Susanna / Bel and the Dragon etc. and other events as part of the GENUINE Book of Daniel; you are welcome to READ the 'Deuterocanonical Roman Catholic Version' and you will UNDERSTAND that the Roman Catholic Version does 'NOT' flow well with the Genuine chapter 1 - 12 of Daniel ***)
Additionally, in the Book of Daniel we are REVEALED how Satan who is "NOT" an Omnipresent being nor a god himself places /assigns 'Demonic Beings / Fallen Angels' over regions of this world that he has a spiritual stronghold over as evidenced with the 'Prince of Persia' and the 'Prince of Greece' ( Daniel 10 : 20 ) and even though the 'Prince of Rome' is not directly named in the Book of Daniel ( the final Prince that shall come*) we know that he exists and will himself be allowed to ENCARNATE in a 'Little Horn' ( Daniel 9 : 26 ) the final 'Prince of Rome' is a hybrid, for he is a product of the Beast that ascends from the Bottomless Pit ( Revelation 17 : 8 ) and he also receives 'ALL' the demonic powers of none other than Satan himself ( Revelation 13 : 4 ) and yet because of the rules of GOD such an individual 'MUST' also have a physical human body; thus he will be a future male human politico who will be sovereignly ALLOWED by GOD to accomplish for 42 months on a much grander global scale what neither Alexander the Great nor Adolf Hitler accomplished in a longer period of time during their lifetime *
In sum, there is some DEBATE as to whether the Prophet Daniel was made a Eunuch in Babylon shortly after his capture; since the Bible does not mention that he had a wife nor children in all his years in Babylon. I will 'NOT' comment on whether he was or was not most likely a Eunuch, what i will say is that we are to OBSERVE the great 'TESTIMONY' of Daniel and the rest of his friends who chose to put their lives in danger rather than to bow down to Babylonian Idolatry. In the end of the Book of Daniel the Angel Gabriel ( GOD's Messenger tells Daniel that he will be greatly REWARDED in due time for his FAITHFULNESS; thus GOD is going to greatly make it up to Daniel in 'Eternity Future'
there is 'NO' question that Daniel left a great 'TESTIMONY' throughout all of Babylon most Babylonians knew very well that he was a Hebrew who did not worship Babylonian gods ( Babilonian god : Marduk*) he left a great impression on many Babilonians and even though there were no Bibles back then his daily GOD-Fearing lifestyle served as a great Testimony of the GOD of Israel
By : an unworthy fellow servant of thee RISEN Christ : JESUS !!! This student of Eschatology / Theology has INVESTED thousands of $$$ and 1000's of research hours through the years into trying his best to CORRECTLY interpret the 'Final Beast' that even Daniel could not fully comprehend that would ARISE against Israel in the final days and what this poor and imperfect vessel of the HOLY SPIRIT is attempting is purely 'PERSONAL' i expect 'NO' : awards, honorary degrees nor much less any financial $$$ rewards; my CREATOR : YHWH has already rewarded me enough with the 'Gift of Life' with 'Good Health' and with many other moments in LIFE that can 'NOT' be purchased with $$$ Money; i only wish and pray that i could do so much more for HIS Honor and Glory before i am removed from this planet. This servant of GOD is 'NO' Daniel nor John the Baptist; to tell you the TRUTH i am not the 'Man of GOD' that i should be by now in this stage of LIFE 'BUT' GOD has been very patient with this His servant of His and one day i will be able to fully Glorify my Creator in every single way. PRESENTLY this fellow servant of Christ Jesus is still a major work in progress PLEASE continue praying for him for i am going to need the 'Spiritual Support' and backing of the Body of Christ, i am not a 'One Man Army' the little strength that this vessel has is only possible because of the HOLY SPIRIT; i am fully aware that LIFE does 'NOT' gets any easier THUS i will seek the face of GOD as never before because GOD did 'NOT' bring me this far for me to give up now. It is one of our goals to be one of the first one's to CORRECTLY identify Daniel's 10 Horned Beast correctly 'Before' it fully even arises to power sometime during Daniel's final 70th Week; for the 'Honor and Glory' of our Creator : YHWH : JESUS CHRIST *
