Daniel #4

Daniel #4

Mystery Babylon - the domination of the earth - combines two things: head of gold and worship of it - analogous to the beast and the harlot of Revelation. Power of the tongue is like a horse, a ship, fire (Jam 3:1-11). Your sin nature ignites your tongue, which ignites people and defiles others (Jam 3:6, Pro 16:27-28). Daniel and his friends are accused (Dan 3:13-15). The king didn't care about inner conviction, but wanted outer compliance (Rom 12:2). Daniel makes obedience to God the issue and are not afraid (Dan 3:16-18). Faith makes the invisible more real than the visible (Phi 4:6-7, Col 3:15-16, Heb 2:14-15). Soul has 5 parts: self-consciousness, mentality, volition, conscience, and emotion. The word of God builds up and guards the soul - they applied God's promises knowing God would deliver them from Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 3:17-18, Isa 43:2-3). Daniel and friends knew God and His essence: (1) God is Sovereign (Dan 4:35). (2) God is absolute Righteousness (Psa 145:17). (3) God is absolute Justice (Deu 32:4). (4) God is Love (Eph 2:4). (5) God is Eternal Life (1Ti 1:17) (6) God is Omniscience (1Jo 3:20).(7) God is Omnipresent. (Jer 23:24). (8) God is Omnipotent. (Rev 19:6). (9) God is Immutable (Heb 13:8). (10) God is Veracity (Psa 33:4). Daniel had faith rest (Heb 4:1-12, Mat 10:24-31, Heb 13:5-6)
