Daniel 6: Daniel Faces Lions
Daniel’s colleagues had to see him “violating” the statute before they could report it to the king. The fact that Daniel prayed with his window open signified his prayers were unhindered. Those against Daniel knew he would not alter his behavior and would be “guilty” of disobedience to Darius. Consider the testimony of Daniel to these pagans, yet their hostility toward Daniel kept them blind to spiritual truth. We can expect the world to react to us like this if we are living faithfully before God.
Daniel 4 Part 3
The humbling of proud rulers is a recurrent theme throughout Scriptures. Interestingly, Nebuchadnezzar was not killed by his enemies as has happened many times throughout Scripture and history. God protected Nebuchadnezzar for His purposes and glory. God literally stepped in and kept the empire’s affairs under control.
This allowed Nebuchadnezzar to pick up at that point when he came to himself. One can only wonder if Daniel himself helped protect the king and encouraged others in government to prepare for the king’s return?
The Wise WILL Understand
As far as I’m concerned, the actual Daniel existed and lived during the time of Israel’s captivity in Babylon. During that time, both he and King Nebuchadnezzar received dreams and visions that were explained by Daniel prior to their happening. In fact, numerous chapters in Daniel have yet to be fulfilled. They remain in front of us.

Early Church and Gnostic Error
Gnosticism goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel and the mystery religions propagated by Nimrod and his wife. The one major benefit they had going for them at the time was that everyone on the earth spoke only one language (and I’m guessing it was Hebrew, but have no proof of that). The other asset was that everyone on the earth then lived in one place, on the plain of Shinar, which is where Nimrod began to build his “stairway to heaven,” known as the Tower of Babel.

Coming to a Head in 2024?
I cannot imagine that 2024 will be easy. This November we’ve got a presidential election and it seems clear enough that the powers that be cannot allow Trump to be part of that process. Whether or not their efforts backfire remains to be seen, but they’re certainly trying every fascist move they can try.
Why is it all About Gender?
While some have indicated that a push toward trans gender acceptance adds to the depopulation scheme allegedly pushed by controbalists (because people who surgically transition are often left sterile), I believe there’s a larger reason for the acceleration of global acceptance of trans ideology. That overall reason, in my opinion, is because it is the physical representation of what has been part and parcel of the New Age belief system for generations. Demons (fallen angels), have always been at odds with biblical truth, always seeking to destroy biblical truth, replacing it with “truth” based on feelings. This was true in Noah’s day. It was true in Lot’s day and it is absolutely true in our day, which I believe is most likely the last generation prior to the Tribulation and physical return of Jesus.
Daniel 4 Part 2
Pride is the worst of sins because it controls our thoughts, words and deeds. It gives rise to many other sins. God hates pride (Prov 8:13; 16:5; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5, etc), and if He is willing to do this to King Nebuchadnezzar, how much more does God want all pride rooted out of His children?

Would It Really Matter?
But let’s say for a moment that if Israel was not in the Middle East, then all the world’s problems between Islam and Israel would be over. Would it? Not according to Islam beliefs, that they will take control of this world and dominate. Notice in that image, they not only say “Death to Israel” but issue a “Curse on the Jews.” They hate Jews. They hate Israel and it boggles my mind that some Christians cannot understand why this is the case. This stems completely from Satan’s hatred of Jews and Israel itself. That nation has literally derailed his plans to keep people from coming to God for salvation. Because a Messiah/Savior was born through the nation of Israel, a way was opened to humanity to gain fellowship with God through salvation.
A Burdensome Stone
I’m not going to try to pretend I know what all of this means that’s occurring now in the Middle East. My heart goes out to all the innocent people on both sides. However, at the same time, many of those innocent people in and around Gaza celebrated when Hamas went into Israel and began massacring innocent people. Throughout the world right now, there are massive protests favoring Hamas’ position against Israel, calling for the mass extermination of all Jews. Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high, not necessarily seen since Hitler and WW2. This is all part of the “burdensome stone” that Israel has become. It will likely get worse even if this current situation seems to die down. I don’t think it will and many are already warning that WW3 is approaching and could easily involve nuclear arms.
Daniel 3 Part 2
Because God saved the three young men, Nebuchadnezzar then saw their God as superior to all Babylonian gods. He ultimately acknowledged their God as superior over his own god, Nebo. Because of this, Nebuchadnezzar issued a new rule that all should respect Yahweh and say nothing derogatory. This is another proof that Nebuchadnezzar was supreme ruler, answering to no one on earth. He could make laws by himself that no one could set aside.
