70 Influences and the Mason War(Daniel 3:8~24)
"But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."(18)
Hymn #380 Savior, More Than Life to Me(Unified Hymn 424)
Since God has raised you up as a "watchman,"(Isaiah 62:6~12) the first answer that you must receive is "The Mason War" which gives 70 influences(Daniel 3:8~24). Daniel and the three young men held onto Isaiah's prophecy as their covenant and enjoyed "The Throne's Blessing." While holding onto covenant of "The Stump,"(Isaiah 6:1~13) and enjoying the blessing of Immanuel(Isaiah 7:14), they found the answer within the Word(Isaiah 40:6-31), and inside the power of prayer, they saw new works every day (Isaiah 43:18-21) and received the "answer of the watchmen" to shine the light(Isaiah 60:1~22 & 62:6~12). From today, in the morning, through "The Throne's Power," arm yourself, (Scheduled Prayer) In the afternoon, find the meaning of God in your life through "continuous prayer." Finally, at night, you can enjoy "concentrated prayer" that changes the age. Here, the power to give 70 influences will emerge. At this time, there are five vital points that'll come to you, the main figure of "The Mason War."
1. The Absolute Answer
Within hardships, "the absolute answer" can be seen. No matter what the difficulties were, Moses; David; Elijah; Shadrach; Meshach; and Abednego received "the absolute answer" of "The Mason War" to completely destroy idols.
2. The Absolute Plan
At this time, "the absolute plan" can be seen as well. You'll see the answer why the Israelites were held as captives and why Daniel was placed in a high position.
3. The Absolute Covenant
If you're able to see "the absolute plan," you'll see "the absolute covenant." Simply put,you'll be able to see "rightfulness; inevitably; and absoluteness."
4. The Absolute Journey
At this time, you'll go on the right path. God placed the three young men in front of an "image made of gold." For the three young men who saw this as "the absolute journey," became witnesses before all the people of Babylon and to the 237 nations.
5. The Absolute Goal
Your goal is to build a proper temple with three courtyards, restore collapsed churches, and raise churches that heal the aftereffects of the three organizations and other religions. Accomplishing these works is your responsibility.
In doing so, you'll see that the complete Gospel in the past; the complete answers of today; and the complete guarantee in the future have already come.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may "scheduled prayer; continuous prayer; and concentrated prayer" become integral parts of my daily life. May spiritual power and evidences that affect 70 places have no choice but to come upon me. Please help me see "The 5 Absolutes." In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
