Hey Daniel –

The people are threatening you. The high ranking officials are saying that if you don’t bow down to their king (government), you will be killed. They have petitioned the king (president) to enforce an injunction upon your people – to wear masks, to self-isolate, to close down all their businesses, etc., and whosoever does not follow their orders, will be sent to the lion’s den.

They have make the excuse that it’s for the good of the kingdom, but the truth is, they seek your life. They haven’t been able to make a legit complaint about you thus far, because there is no ground for complaint, so they formulated a new plan. They have decided to make new laws that are in direct connection with the laws of your kingdom – the Kingdom of God – the Kingdom of which you were born into, and given an incredible inheritance. They desire to rob you of your inheritance as well.

When, not if, you refuse to follow the laws set forth by this worldly kingdom (government), they will then accuse you and say you are in violation of the order of the king. These high ranking officials will become upset because you are not bowing down to them, because you are not wearing the masks and you continue to socialize and not distance yourself. They are angered because you are not following their rules, and blindly following the rest of their kingdom like lambs to the slaughter.

Daniel, you are of a different Kingdom. You must not forsake the orders of your King – King Jesus. You must not bow down to another kingdom and allow them to rule over you. This worldly kingdom, which seeks to destroy you, is none other than the kingdom of darkness and its goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to bow down unto them. Their goal is to get you to forsake your God, to turn your back on Him, and to look to them (the government) for your provision, protection, and all your needs. The end result is eternal death.

Daniel, DO NOT GIVE IN! They will never be able to meet your need like that of your King. They will never be able to protect you. Even their best attempts are futile if your King’s (God’s) hand is not upon it. Yes, you may be delivered up and cast into the den of lions, they may jeer at you, and revile at you, but rest assured, your God will protect you! He will command His angels concerning you, and He will silence the enemy on your behalf; He will shut the mouths of the lions (the ones that seek to devour you).

You will make it out alive, and when you make it out, you will be an amazing testimony to all around you.

Let it be decreed that all people will tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, “for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions,” (Daniel 6:26-27).
