The Remnant Leader's Power and Political Idolatry(Daniel 6:10~20)
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before(10).
Hymn #370 The Trusting Heart to Jesus Clings (Unified Hymn 455)
Political idolatry is extremely terrifying. When you get caught up in it, you'll do anything when you're faced with a daunting disadvantage. In Ephesians 2:2, it states that these politicians follow "the ruler of the kingdom of the air." Because the throne has been given by God, no one can take it away. Satan dominates the heaven that's under the throne. That's why "Heavenly Power, Heavenly Talent, and Heavenly Mission" are important. Remnants are leaders who can find those. Daniel was both a "Holy Mason" and a "Holy Leader."
1. The Power of the World
What is the power that the world talks about? In this world, Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Niccol Machiavelli's The Prince teach that if people want to survive, they must kill others. As you can see, before going to Hell, earth itself is Hell.
2. Daniel's Power
What was Daniel's power? God gave Daniel tremendous wisdom. He interpreted the king's dreams that no one else could. That's why evil politicians tried to kill Daniel. Even though Daniel knew that, he still did "scheduled prayer" "just as he had done before."(Daniel 6:10) As a result, Daniel was placed in the den of lions to die. At that time, the king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!"(Daniel 6:16 & 20) That was usually how the king saw Daniel. God sent an angel of the Lord to rescue Daniel. Afterward, the king appointed Daniel as the chief governor. This is the "Holy Leader."
3. Daniel Who Influenced Four Kings
Ultimately, Daniel influenced four kings. He helped King Nebuchadnezzar, King Belshazzar, King Darius, and King Cyrus. In fact, King Cyrus even instructed the Israelites to return to their country and rebuild the temple.
The three organizations are completely using the "elite strategy." By manipulating transcendental meditation exercises, those groups are plowing into famous athletes and singers. Starting now, from an early age, Remnants must develop the power of "Holy Leaders."
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, please grant me the same mystery of prayer that Daniel possessed. Within this mystery, help me discover and possess "The Throne's Power, Throne's Talent, and Throne's Mission." Armed with heavenly wisdom, please raise me as the "Holy Leader" to give answers to the successful people of the world. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
