Referencing Daniels Book of the Scriptures and the life during his tenure on earth. All the words of this prophecy has great significance to 'Current Times' or Today, Right Now. No difference really from God's perspective. Evil is Evil. Sin is Sin. God abhors both. We know what happened when the children disregarded their Parent. Some are taken away for discipline, some are removed for having damaged themselves and others. In other words, a great danger to themselves and to others, to do in essence great harm that is irrecoverable from. Bad fruit. Evil fruit, become, became Cains and Judases.
The Israelites were taken into captivity, by the Gentiles "For their sins" against the Lord, the Law, Precepts, all the that Lord God had said in the "Covenant." For the people of Israel were saved from Egypt by a Strong Hand of the Lord, who in the end did not maintain their end of this covenant. For the Lord said if you break this covenant, between Me and you, --the Nation of the Hebrews, all the things that I said I will do will happen, will happen.
The Lord was merciful to the entire nation of the Hebrews, a remnant was saved. If you studied Daniel, remnants were left while those who did not keep the covenant were removed from the land of the living as the Old Prophets used to say. From the Land of the Living. The Lord God is a Living God. This correlates to Living in God for those who remain faithful to the 'covenant'.
Living in God, this is what Daniel and his three compatriots were doing. Living in God. God protected them. He protected from the lions, and from fire and from certain death by the hands of their oppressors. There is a point to all God teaches. In fact one point stands clear, that is to 'obey'. Obedience.
The Lord has not changed in His Nature. He is always the Character He portrays. His person. His judgments. His thinking. His acting. So forth. The way God thinks and acts or doesn't act, becomes silent. Takes a walk in the Garden. His Garden still stands to this day. He placed, cherubs and flaming swords to guard the entrance. The Lord says, He closed the gate from earth to heaven. Well, God tells us He placed flaming swords and cherubs to guard the entrance. Thus, closed the gates.
God gives man, His most and greatest creation, much mercy.
The Hebrews that were guilty, were removed from the land of the living, and we read about Daniel and the three faithful Hebrews.
Here's what God said about Daniel from the Book of Daniel:
A little summary to give us the aura of that day, a short perspective but a good one.
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2 And the Lord delivered into his hands Joakim the king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he carried them away into the land of Sennaar, to the house of his god, and the vessels he brought into the treasure house of his god. 3 And the king spoke to Asphenez the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed and of the princes, 4 Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king's palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans. 5 And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king.
6 Now there were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias. 7 And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago.
"And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
[Daniel 1]
11 And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias
"And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams.
[Daniel 1]
"To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon."
[Daniel 2]
Searched using just Daniels name.
Babylon is now the entire Earth today and from some time back in the centuries. Some seers know when Babylon came to be, namely the year. It hasn't been that long as a name called Babylon. But progressed as man progressed in modern ways. Modernism as dictated by the Christ, is the Beasts doing, instigating man. The Beast always instigates man for it is in the Abyss of Hell and disturbs man upon the earth to do evil to his brothers and sisters, whom God created to rule the earth. So Satan the Beast instigates man to be an evil ruler.
God created man to love one another, multiply in joy and peace. Be fruitful and multiply said the Lord God to Adam and all the generations after Adam.
To be fruitful means to be a good fruit from the generational tree. Not a bad and evil fruit. Bad fruit tastes awful. Has bad odor, looks terrible, unsightly, and all kinds of undelight.
Daniel entreated the Lord in prayer asking God for mercy.
There is however a great difference that we do not consider what they didn't have verses what we have available right now and from 2000 and some years ago.
The Holy Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Communion. The Sacred Sacraments which restores man from Sin. Sin and the sins are wiped by water baptism, Confession and Holy Communion.
Water baptism. Christ Side.
Holy Communion Christ's Blood and Body.
These make 'saints' more easily than before in Daniels time and after up to Christ.
During the years of the Hebrew times, they were under God's protection. The Law protected them as long as they obeyed them and all the precepts which were given to Moses.
The Covenant between God and the people of Israel, were based on their loyalty to God. If you choose to serve your God, you live and enjoy Heaven. If you choose to serve yourself, like Cain and his lineage, you live here but not in Heaven with Me and the saints. You forfeit it by your own choosing. Not My choosing. Man had already betrayed themselves. They ate from the Tree I told them not to. I counseled Adam and Eve to stay living and not have to endure Death in themselves and the entire generations from Their Loins. I made them. I made them free. I gave them counsel and everything you could possibly not imagine. They had Me with them, in them, on them, around them. Fully. They were in paradise which you have no idea what it was like. You have to wear clothes upon your garments because of lust and pride. Which I counseled them about. However they wanted to 'know.' They wanted what it was like for them to experience something different from what I made and gave to them. This is why you have different tastes in yourselves and wonder why you do. So many questions. These are consequences of Their choice.
I have given to you a Cure, the Cure, My Son. His Body and His Blood taken both individually yet what do you do? You disobey. Thus the consequences of a disobedient set of sons who do not listen to what I said on the Mount with your brothers, Peter, John and James, and to all who read and are given those words here it is again My Mercy: Listen to My Son.
Your days, are given much mercy. More so then you deserve. Why? Your Mother children of Mine, Your Mother, Mary. In Her is Salvation. From Her loins came My Sons Flesh, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, Spirit of My Spirit. And yet you failed to understand the simplicity of it all.
Take and eat, take and drink, this is the cup of Salvation. This is My Bread I give to you to eat and be alive, thriving, vivified by Us, the Trine God. Rationalism. What did My Son teach about rationalism? He said what it is and what it does. Read it again. Refresh yourselves with My Beatitudes. Here it is, right here. Read it again and again. Let it be your nature. Live. Be alive.
The Lord said, to remain in Him, in the Faith, one must completely rely on the Lord for everything.
Some things we can learn from the Garden of Eden event, is this fact. To rely on God's word alone.
Jesus said, in the Temptation of the Devi in the Desert, "Man does not live on bread alone but on every word of God."
The mind plays tricks sometimes concerning this word 'bread' here. We think of the food bread. Same applies to 'I am the Bread of Heaven.' The lesson on the Bread of Heaven, where now Jesus shifts from I am the Bread of Heaven to drill down a bit into, His Body being transubstantiated from the simple material bread. So the human part thinks 'bread.' God is Bread and well we end up human evaluating that when we read My Body is food indeed, the first thing that we have is mostly, the simple material bread. Human evaluation is dangerous and causes many errors, and much ills. What is spirit is spirit. We must have a clear understanding of this. What is flesh is flesh. However, when God does something we must believe and obey concerning the material objects which He created. For if God takes a rock and makes it speak, this is God doing His thing here. He is able. But in this case this is just an example of taking what God created and how God makes use of it.
We do the same thing but with material objects such as vegetable. We didn't make the seeds but have use of them.
There is 'The Bread' and there is the parts of the Bread as Body and Blood in two kinds, bread and wine.
The Bread of Heaven, is the Word and the Wisdom of God, He says, My words are spirit and life. John fed on the Bread of Heaven. Spiritual words and life giving words. But the 'spirit' is more than we conclude to humanly and the same applies to 'life.' For when we evaluate humanly we get human definition and not the true definition what is truly meant by 'spirit' and by 'life.' Thus God says My ways are higher than yours. This applies to everything God speaks about. His Ways are Spirit and Life. He Who creates and gives 'life.'
Israel went astray from God, seduced by the Devil from other nations, border states. They seduced them. They cried! We want a king! to God. This was during the years of the 'judges' first one being Moses.
Reliance on God totally is the theme throughout the scriptures. His word alone. Thus, Joshua said, "Choose you this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Babylon is the service of slavery to Satan. All in it is thus. These who did not want to serve the Lord end up in Babylon, it's laws, decrees, rules of living for human beings. All suffer. Spittle upon spittle is spat allover Babylon.
(Abraham's promise from God was concerning Israel his son we don't want to get into the squeamish We Are the Chosen People debate this is not our concern we are talking about the Entire Human Race from Adam onwards which includes every nation, every language, which means, no time for non-sense please be understanding that we are to love everybody as God loves you and I. Love is God's Rule. On the New Earth, is one language. One peoples these are called by God, 'Saints.' And people cover the earth like this one, no different in the material aspect as in animals, ocean, terrain, for people like here. It is not some far out SciFi planet with metal and all these fancy cities like that. But it is mystery as to what it these buildings, homes, so forth look like, cities, nations, borders do not exist. But we do know that with a blink you can travel to anywhere you like. No need for cars, trains, planes, any type of transportation.)
Daniel Chapter 2 Where Daniel is given the mystery and then he prays to God in praising form of adoration.
19 Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, 20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.
21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding. 22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him. 23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.
About the name Babylon as the kingdom is told here:
Daniel Chapter 2: Where the mystery of three Babylon kingdoms come to fruition but is not called Babylon throughout until the final one that comes to full completion. The complete evolution of Babylon.
39 And after thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.
These verses above reveals the evolution of Babylon's growth into its final completed state. Full and complete with everything the Devil could think of.
Three more after the present one of his time.
The world is split up into many categories of living conditions, thoughts, lifestyles, etc. It is not just one.
Thus, in the spiritual world it is two: God's with the Faithful, just, small, poor in spirit, and Satan with errored men of all kinds.
Back in their time, they had their Religion in God and then the rest. So they had Greek philosophers, architects, partisans, all necromancers, alchemy, sorcery, witchcraft, lots of errors of other kinds to mention. Just a slew. All based on flesh. God looked down from Heaven and saw all bent on flesh all day long. Genesis 6.
3 And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
A point to mention which we seldom relate: 'My spirit' shall not remain in man forever. The soul of ours is the Essence of God. God breathed into the nostrils the breath of life and then man became a living soul. Genesis 1:7
Daniel Chapter 1:
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
So Babylon is always here but not really understood as Babylon.
Would we have known about Babylon by ourselves? We would have concluded to this name? Unless the Lord had revealed it, we would think of it as something else.
Peace be with you always
