Global government rearranges the articles of the house of God. “In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.” Daniel 1:1

The world has been besieged by the global government immediately after WW2, as described in Daniel 8, and was called the New World Order.

“And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.” Daniel 1:2

The global government is using some of the things that belong in the house of God, but not all. The house of God is our body, which is made to be the home of the Holy Spirit. The articles left out of the house of the global government of the beast is belief in God, recognition for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It wants to be God over our body, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” Click for a post on the “man of sin”

The entity brings some things of God into our body through the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. The masses of people are conformed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The articles that the global government is using within the house of our body is to make them appear righteous and Godly with churchy and humanitarian sounding words. In fact, the churches of today have abandoned the Gospel of Christ but they are filed with people, “…having a form of godliness but denying its power.” 2 Timothy 3:5 “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

Culture is being changed by natural born citizens of each nation. “Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel and some of the king’s descendants and some of the nobles,” Daniel 1:3

There are many cultures all around the world, but each culture is being changed by the natives of each nation. Those natives include everyday citizens on the grass root level, people with prestigious native ancestry, and people who are highly esteemed by the natives. The American culture is changed by American born citizens, Israeli culture is being changed by Israeli born citizens, African culture is changed by African born citizens, Mexican culture is changed by Mexican born citizens etc. The citizens changing our heritage are our next-door neighbors, native icons, community, state, and national leaders. They are the ones protesting and rioting for conformity to the global “democratic” society of the beast.

The house of God (our body) is being reshuffled by natural born citizens to eliminate the Spirit of Christ and bolster the global culture that welcomes the entity that governs through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors.

Culture is being changed through the educational system. “…young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.” Daniel 1:4

People who are physically attractive to the culture they were born in, intelligent, and with political potential, are chosen to be trained and educated in the ways of the global society of the beast. They are put in the spotlight as a model citizen for all of the other native citizens to follow. They are modeling the global culture and goals of the government of the beast. The entity with power over physiology empowers them with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, emotional attractiveness, extraordinary talents and skills, and with amazing physical abilities and accomplishments.

Our body, the house of God, is being reshuffled through education and appealing role models to squash the Spirit of Christ and bolster the entity that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors.

Even today, the educational systems are indoctrinating students to live by the values of the “democratic” society of the beast. The “sustainability goals” of the United Nations are being taught in schools everywhere. Those values include casual sex as a normal part of life, killing the unborn as a standard practice, LGBQT+ lifestyles as a choice, marriage and family values as God intended are tossed aside, etc. The students who do well in their indoctrination are held up as role models for other students, and they follow the direction of the entity that forms what they think, feel, and do. Those students are changing their local culture and playing a role in strengthening the agenda of the global government.

Culture is being changed by bolstering self-esteem and indulging in basic human needs. “And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king.” Daniel 1:5

Being treated like royalty is rooted in building up self-esteem and dignity while learning to live according to the customs of the global culture. That esteem building relates to being treated very well in health needs, food, housing, safety, social approval, shown respect, and being able to achieve goals. The whole purpose is to groom the person to the culture of the “democratic” society and to embrace the “goodness” of the entity that lives within their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. They are being trained to welcome the image of the beast to live and speak through them as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Our mind and heart, as the house of God, are being reshuffled through self-esteem, dignity, and basic human needs to discard the need for Jesus Christ and bolster the entity that sits within us as if it were God..

We are being changed to a culture of humanism rooted in the entity that has power over physiology. The creature human being is served rather than God the Creator, while denying God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and trampling on the Holy Spirit. This is the definition of humanism, “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has been taught in the schools for decades and is a tool of humanism. In 1990, it was taught in my marketing classes, human resources classes, and psychology classes. I was inundated with that indoctrination and at the same time classmates shunned belief in God, scoffed at the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressed the presence of the Holy Spirit.

 Culture is being changed by how each person is identified. “Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.” Daniel 1:6

Those four Jewish people were being indoctrinated into the culture of the global government of King Nebuchadnezzar. The cultural identity they once knew was buried in the process of conforming to the new government’s demands. The culture of a nation is changed through the identity of one person at a time.

As we look at Israel today, we see how the global indoctrination tears a country apart and changes cultural norms and a people’s identity. The Israelis, living by the entity giving them what to do and say, are protesting and rioting against the government of Israel because of the “right wing” policies the government is trying to implement. Although we see thousands and thousands of people rioting (over one hundred thousand and more), each individual person there has rejected their Biblical identity and are now demanding “democratic” rights based on the global culture of the beast.

The “democratic” rights the Israelis want are the same “democratic” rights demanded in every nation around the world. They want the right to kill the unborn, to promote the LGBQT+ lifestyles, to throw out marriage and the family as God intended. The demands are for their government to conform to the global agenda of the beast, which is defined with words like global family, democratic, peace, supportive, loving etc. The identity of Israel, as known in the Bible, has been erased as they live for the goals of the United Nations.

“To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.” Daniel 1:7

Those who govern and live for the global culture intend to extinguish the name of Israel and the name of Christian. Those names are synonymous with the living God, the need for Jesus Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The global government exalts itself above anything associated with God or has any implication of God. The name of Israel and Christian suggests that there is a God other than the thing which is able to form what we think, feel, say, and do. Its only purpose is to change cultural names and identity to synchronize our identity to the global culture.

The identity of individuals and nations are being reshuffled to bury suggestions of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The intent is to lift up the identity found within the entity that sets itself up as God within thoughts and feelings.

Faithfulness to live for Jesus Christ through cultural changes. The Spirit of Jesus Christ does not change through cultural changes. The Gospel message is the same from generation to generation, which is, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” Daniel 1:8

Daniel’s faithfulness to the commandments of God was more important than corrupting himself with what was being fed to him. He was being fed a healthy diet of esteem, dignity, and given the royal treatment from all angles. He was even given the very best of food for the body. Daniel preferred to live humbly in the presence of God than to be exalted in a culture contrary to the will of God.

Likewise, our faithfulness to Jesus Christ is more important than digesting what is fed to us by the thing that forms thoughts, feelings, words, and emotions. It denies God, discards the need for Jesus Christ, tramples on the Holy Spirit, and synchronizes a person to the will of the government of the beast. It defiles the Spirit of Christ.

“Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.” Daniel 1:9

As followers of Christ, we know Jesus gave His life for everyone, even for those who live and serve the government of the beast. We offer the mercy, grace, kindness, and love which comes from God through Jesus Christ. We do not offer them any reason to hate us, other than living for Jesus Christ.

“And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.” Daniel 1:10

Those who serve the people in authority within the society of the beast fear the consequences of betraying those in authority. Jesus tells us to not fear the ones who can kill the body but fear the One who is able to kill both the body and soul in hell. Those in authority do not have the mercy and compassion of Christ and do not take it lightly when the word of a follower of Christ is followed over theirs. Beyond that, the authorities insist their property (human beings) is well taken care of.

“Homestyle meals” of today sure don’t have the same homemade style and taste that they use to have when I was growing up as a “Baby Boomer.” They are so much different that I have crossed them off my meal list as one more thing from my cultural heritage disappears. That applies to a lot of foods I used to eat but don’t anymore.

“So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.” Daniel 1:11-12

Daniel was sure he would be healthier without what everyone else was eating and restricted himself to water and vegetables. As followers of Christ, our spiritual health is more important than what we eat, so we abstain from digesting into our soul the things that pollute the outflow of the Spirit of Christ, “There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.” Mark 7:15

“Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” Daniel 1:13

The soul of a follower of Jesus Christ is much healthier than the soul of those who live by the entity that forms what they think, feel, say, and do. They feed their soul with self-esteem, money, possessions, physical comforts, and social acceptance, which crowds out the Spirit of Christ.

“So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.” Daniel 1:14-15

The soul of a follower of Christ is much fatter than those who live by the entity that has power over physiology. We live on the Bread of Life, the word of the Gospel of Christ. “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4

“Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.” Daniel 1:16

Cultural changes through indoctrination wins worldly approval. “As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Daniel 1:17

The four young men were about 16 years of age. As followers of Jesus Christ, we can be filled with the indoctrination of this world and be filled with the Spirit of Christ as well. I remember a lot of my classes in business management, such as human resources, marketing, psychology, economics, etc. but the Spirit of Christ is interwoven with that. It’s obvious the global government of the beast is here (it came right after WW2 as said in Daniel 8 and Revelation 17). The entity is here as seen in Revelation 13, and global warming is here as stated in Revelation 16:8-10. Awareness of all of those things come by gaining knowledge of the world, but while living for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“Now at the end of the days, when the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.” Daniel 1:18

Bringing Daniel, Hananiah (Shadrack), Mishael (Meshach), and Azariah (Abednego)before king Nebuchadnezzar was the final exam of their three-year indoctrination. This was a pass or fail grade like a matter of life or death.

Those who have their authority through the culture of the beast are always evaluating how people under their authority are adapting to the cultural indoctrination. They want to see that our behaviors, words, feelings, emotions, and thoughts are according to the thing that forms what we think, feel, say, and do. They want to see that we are receptive to the image of the beast living and speaking through us. They want to make sure that we are groomed to the mark of the beast by what we say and do. They want to make sure that we are fitted for the purpose that they have planned for us. In the case of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah they were to represent the Jewish people while putting the government of Nebuchadnezzar in a positive light.

“Then the king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they served before the king.” Daniel 1:19

Those four men of God were not only very keen on their indoctrination, but they were also very faithful to God. That is exactly what Nebuchadnezzar wanted, a good public image among the Jewish people. That is like American politicians who represent the image of America, but at the same time are working for and within the system of the global government. Likewise, if the authorities of the “democratic” society of the beast needed a positive image among Christians, they would employ a Christian who knew enough not to be offensive to those in authority.

 “And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.” Daniel 1:20

For the purposes of Nebuchadnezzar’s government, the four men of God were much above the others who didn’t have faith in God. The four men of God also had sincere goodwill towards Nebuchadnezzar, which the others did not have. With faith in God and reverence for the governing authority, Daniel would serve for about 70 years. He was about the age of 16 when he went through the indoctrination process. “Thus Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.” Daniel 1:2

As followers of Jesus Christ, we maintain our faith in God through Jesus, and we bring reverence to the governing authority. “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Titus 3:1-2

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
