The Remnants Who Went to Babylon(Daniel 1:8~9)
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way(8).

The fields that Remnants usually go are their schools, homes, friends, and churches. Although good works exist in the field, difficulties can exist as well. However, during those times, many Remnants try to avoid them. By doing that, Remnants can face greater hardships when you go out. That's why Remnants mustn't be afraid; instead, they need to overcome those difficulties. Today's Remnants must refer to the Remnants who went to Babylon.
1. People Who Knew the Reason and Went Ahead
The Remnants of Babylon were those who went there because they knew the reason. Because the Gospel had disappeared, they went there as captives. The powerful nation of Babylon thought that it could survive only if it held many people as captives. Because the Remnants of Babylon knew why Israel had been destroyed, they knew why they were held as captives. That's the reason why Daniel resolved.(Daniel 1:8~9). No matter where you go, if you hold onto the accurate Word and resolve, you'll gain victory.
2. People Who Knew the Conditions and Went Ahead
These Remnants went by knowing the conditions in advance. They knew the problems and advantages of powerful nations. More importantly, they were the fields of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. These were the conditions for world evangelization. To put it in a good way, they were sent by God, but in a bad way, it was God who caused those hardships and saved those powerful countries. It's extremely crucial for people who possess the Gospel to live in powerful nations such as the U.S. or Europe.
3. People Who Possessed the Answer and Went Ahead
They possessed the answer and went ahead. Moreover, with that answer, they resolved. God even made them stand before the king because globalization could only occur by standing before King Nebuchadnezzar who ruled the world.
Even now, these works continue to take place. If you lose hold of the Gospel, you'll become Satan's slave and captive. If you don't know this, churches will close down. Because you already know the conditions and already possess the answers, the answer of globalization will come.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for opening “The Remnant Age" for Remnants. May they become the main figures for the age of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In addition, change their imprints; roots; and nature for that impending age. Furthermore, may they raise Your bartizan for that age as well. Finally, help them raise the bartizan of studying and the future bartizan in advance. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
