Texts: DANIEL 6:
1-9
Daniel 6:1-9
1 It
pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty
princes,
which should be over the whole kingdom;
2 And
over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the
princes
might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no
damage.
3 Then
this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes,
because
an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him
over
the whole realm.
4 Then the
presidents and princes sought to find occasion against
Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find
none occasion nor
fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither
was there any error or
fault found in him.
5 Then
said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this
Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Then
these presidents and princes assembled together to the king,
and said
thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 All
the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes,
the counsellors,
and the captains, have consulted together to establish
a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a
petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he
shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Now,
O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be
Not changed,
according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which
altereth
not.
9
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Introduction
Sometimes, in the year 2013, matters of
evil laws were revealed to me on two different occasions.
On the first
occasion, I saw some occultists and devil worshipers in their place of worship.
They were praying fervently that satan should raise those that would implement
evil laws.
On the second occasion, I heard a loud
voice that woke me up from my sleep. And what the loud voice that woke me up
said was ‘evil laws that will make holy living difficult’
You can read the full
details of the visions here.
Since I received these two visions, I have
always wondered how these evil laws would manifest if the visions were to be
fulfilled. What particularly amazed me was not that the laws would be evil but
that there target would be to hinder people (most especially Christians) from
living holy. For many months, until recently that various evil laws are now
coming out, I have wondered what nature such laws would take. At times, I would
even ask myself ‘will they mandate people to walk unclad on the streets’?
Now, gales of laws are being introduced from
country to country and are being enforced in all public places- in schools, offices,
and governments. What is so strange about these laws is the non-exclusivity of
their nature. By this, we mean that a Christian for instance is not allowed to
distance himself from such laws where even if they will violate his holy living
or violate his Christian principles. Laws are enforced to make both male and
female share toilets, bathrooms, hostels and all such. In some instances,
believers are restricted from praying publicly or mentioning the name of God.
With the fulfillments of these striking
visions coming to past, I think it becomes mandatory to look at natures of evil
laws from biblical perspective.
Characteristics of Godly Laws
Before we look at the characterictics of
evil laws and what they are always meant to achieve, let us first look at the
characteristics of godly laws. This will help us to quickly spot the difference
since whatsoever is evil is in direct opposition to what is godly.
The followings are a few of the
characterisiics of laws of God as can be seen from the scripture.
1. It is Perfect.
Psalm
19:7
19 The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the
simple.
The laws of God are always
perfect. They have no defects. The wisdom of God can be seen in His laws. His
laws cannot be faulted by men. There is no error found in them. Psalm 19:12a
asks rhetorically who can find any imperfection in what God does.
Psalm 19:12
12 Who can understand his errors?
Indeed, there is no imperfection or error in
whatever God does – including His laws.
2. It is not burdensome.
1John 5:3
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his
commandments (laws) are not grievous.
The laws of God are not burdensome. They are not
to cause confusion or burdensome to obey. In Mathew 11:30, Jesus Christ
referred to His yoke as being easy. An easy yoke is neither grievous nor
burdensome.
3. It converts the soul.
Psalm 19:7
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting
the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The heart of man is terribly wicked. One
major purpose of the laws of God is to transform the heart of man into a godly
one.
4. It turns a man away from sin.
Psalm 119:11
11 Thy word have I hid in
mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee.
The laws of God serve to keep us away from sins.
Any laws that promote sins are certainly not from God.
5. It leads to the fear of God.
Deuteronomy 31:12
12 Gather
the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is
within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the
LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
A godly law must instill fear of God in the heart
of people while evil laws will directly or indirectly wash away the fear of God
from man’s heart. Revelation 14:6-7 describes the eternal gospel of God as the
fear of God.
Revelation 14:6-76
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and
give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
6. It keeps you from fornication.
Proverb 6:23-24
23 For the
commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and
reproofs
of
instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the
evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue
of a
strange woman.
A strange woman is a woman that is not a man’s
wife but whom he has sexual sins with. That is fornication. The laws of God
serves to restrain a man from fornication.
7. It serves to prevent the reoccurrence of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isaiah 1:9-10
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a
very small remnant, we
should have been as Sodom, and we
should have been like unto
Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye
rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the
law of our God, ye
people of Gomorrah.
The nature of laws that are been introduced these
last days are gradually taking us back to the era of Sodom and Gomorrah where
there was gross sexual perversion and total breakdown of law are order. The
holy laws of God that should hinder such re-occurrence are being replaced with
laws that will give way to sexual perversions that characterized Sodom and
Gomorrah.
8. It reminds you of heaven.
Psalm 119:18-19
18 Open
thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of
thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from
me.
Major Characteristics of Evil Laws
1. It attacks, opposes or relegates God’s Biblical laws.
Since what is evil is
in direct opposition to what is Godly, so also are evil laws enacted purposely to
attack or nullify Godly laws. satan can also raise evil presidents, kings,
governors or rulers to make evil laws that will be in direct opposition to the characteristics of laws
of God mentioned above. Let us consider the scripture below. Isaiah 5:20-24.
20 Woe unto them that call
evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of
strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which
justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous
from him!
24 Therefore
as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and
their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of
the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
From the underlined part of the verse 20 of
the scripture above, we can quickly spot a reversal of the natural order ordained
by God. These reversal include justification of evil, replacement of light with
darkness, and so on. The curse of God are upon those who do these. Lastly, in verse
24, we discovered how the evil men were able to replace evil for good- by
first casting away the righteous law of God and replacing them with evil laws.
2. It induces sin.
Since evil laws are created by evil men to oppose
the Godly laws, they will ultimately push a man to sin. Godly laws promote
righteousness.
Consider the law that the king of Babylon
made in Daniel Chapter 3 that when all musical instruments were played,
everybody must bow down and worship his image. If a child of God obeys such law
and bows down to the image, he has committed a sin of idolatry. That is an
example of evil law. They are made to directly violate established Godly laws.
3. It changes the ordinances of God.
For us to expatiate this point, let us read
Isaiah 24:1-6
Isaiah
24:1-6
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and
maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with
the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with
her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so
with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to
him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly
spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the
world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do
languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants
thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth,
and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the
earth are burned, and few men left.
From above, we see how God made a case for
His judgment to come upon the inhabitants of the earth at the end of time. He
said the inhabitants of the earth has transgressed His laws and changed His
ordinance.
Transgression of the laws (violating the
laws) leads to changing of His ordinance. One of the ordinances of God can
be seen in Genesis 2:24. It is the ordinance of marriage between a man
and a woman. Evil laws will eventually transgressed this ordinance and many
other ordinances of God as can be seen from the scripture.
Genesis
2:24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Evil laws will seek to change this ordinance and
set up a type of marriage which God did not ordain.
3. It is mostly targeted at Christians.
All evils laws directly or indirectly have
Christians as their targets. We will expatiate this in detail in the section
(strategies of satan) below. Consider the scripture below. Psalm 94:20-21
Psalm 94:20-21
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship
with thee, which frameth
mischief by
a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the
righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
The scripture above tells us how the throne
of iniquity (rulers of darkness) plan to do mischief by using a law –evil law,
and the result of such an evil law is to gather themselves against the children
of God and by the reason of that evil law to condemn an innocent soul.
I read of a woman who was a marriage
registrar that was imprisoned in a country for refusing to join a man and a
fellow man in marriage. Though, the law of the land had permitted such a
marriage, yet, the woman refused to join the two men in marriage on the claim
of her religious belief as a Christian which opposes such a marriage. Can you
see what we are saying? By the reason of that evil law, an innocent child of
God was sent to prison.
In these last days, many more evil laws
will be made and we Christians are going to be the target. We must be ready to
stand firm for the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Strategies of Satan
The ultimate aim of satan is to push the children
of God to sin.
Ecclesiastes 10:8
8 He
that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a
serpent shall bite him.
The Word of God is the hedge of protection
round about His children. This hedge protects the children of God from being
attacked by the devil. For instance, if you put some grains of corns inside a
bottle and cover the bottle, the grains become untouchable by a fowl. The
bottle is an hedge round about the grains that hinders the fowls from touching
the grain. However, if the bottle is broken, the grains become vulnerable to
attack by the fowls. In the same way, satan can never touch a child of God who
has not violated the Word of God- the hedge of protection round about him.
In order for satan to
gain access to attack a child of God, he has to look for a way of making the
child of God violate the Word of God. Satan, himself cannot break that edge.
Only the child of God can do that and when he does, he becomes exposed to
attack. The only thing satan does is to make the child of God break that hedge
of protection by himself and then he will have the legal right to attack the
child of God. In order to achieve this sole aim of pushing a child of God to
break the hedge (making him to fall to sin), He can use anyone of the following
to achieve his aim.
1. Deception.
The first approach satan uses to make a
child of God fall to sin is deception. By deception, he made both Adam and Eve
fall to sin of disobedience. Then the hedge of protection round about them was
broken. They have violated God’s Word.
2. Enticement.
Once a child of God did not fall for
satan’s deception, the next approach he begins to use to make such child of God
falls is enticement. He can lure that child of God with money, position, fame,
wealth, pleasures and so many more.
Satan tried to entice the Lord, Jesus
Christ, with material wealth in Mathew 4:8-10.
First, he had tried to deceive the Lord by manipulating the Word of God but
failed. Then he resulted to enticing with worldly wealth.
Mathew
4:8-108
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world,
and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto
him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and
worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get
thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.
Today, many pastors, ministers of God and
children of God who were once vibrant for God have fallen for satan’s
enticement. Some fell for money. Others fell for fame, position, sexual
pleasures and many more.
3. Threat and persecution.
When all else failed at making a child of
God break an hedge, then satan results to threat and persecution. One major
way this is achieved by evil laws. Once an evil law which always
contradicts the laws of God are put in place, the children of God in that
jurisdiction become the target.
An evil law can be made by a company,
family, nation and so on just to target a child of God or children of God in
that place. For instance a father who is an unbeliever can make a decree that
all his children must go to farm on a Sunday just to prevent his son that just
receive Jesus from attending a Sunday service. This is a form of persecution. A
company can introduce an ungodly dress code and enforce it on all staff just
because of a child of God whose godly dressing they are not pleased with. The
company may say that whoever does not conform to that dress code may forfeit
part of his salary. That is threat and persecution through evil law. This is
exactly what Psalm 94:20-21 is
saying.
Why Does Satan Employ Evil Laws Against the
Children of God
From our text above, specifically Daniel 6:4-7,
we see how the princes and governors tried to find fault with Daniel but they
could not find. In other words, Daniel did not break any hedge. So, they
concluded that the only way they could find fault with Daniel was with the Law
of His God. If they made an evil law that would be against the law of Daniel’s
God and imposed the evil law on the nation, Daniel would not forsake the law of
His God for their evil law. Then they would have a charge against Daniel and
punish him for going against the law of the land.
So they made a decree that nobody should
pray to any God except the King and would violated would be thrown into lion’s
den. Daniel knew that to obey that decree would be an act of idolatery and not
to pray to God of heaven was not an option as well. So he went ahead and prayed
to God of heaven and was thrown to lion’s den for breaking the law of the land.
This approach of evil law was also what was
used against Daniel’s three friends- Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego who were
commanded to bow down to image or be cast
to lake of fire, Daniel Chapter 3.
Please, note the following observations.
i Both Daniel and
His three friend had been tried severally but no fault was find in them.
ii As a last
result, evil laws had to set up against them.
iii. The people
were able to carry out these plot because they were the lawmakers and were
close to the king.
iv. Daniel and his
three friends stood firm for God to be delivered from the evil men’s plots.
Present Evil laws
There are many evil laws in these last
days. Laws like sharing of the same toilets, hostels by people of same genders,
people of same sex marrying, human being allowed to have intercourse with
animals and the rest.
When you subject the laws to the character
tests listed above. You will immediately noticed that they are gross opposition
to Godly laws and are targeted at making the bride of Christ-the remnants,
those who are still standing, watching and waiting for Christ’s return to fall
before the trumpet sounds.
Final Evil Laws
The final evil law is
about to be unleashed on man and the target is the remnant of the bride of
Christ who have not soiled their garments. The scripture talks about two final evil laws in
Revelation 13:12 and Revelation 13:16-18.
Revelation
13:12
12 And
he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the
earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
From the underlined scripture above, we can
see that the earth and all its inhabitants will be caused to worship a beast.
Here we see that the target was all man on earth without the exception. Let us
look at the second scripture.
Revelation 13:16-18
16 And he
causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no
man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is
wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it
is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The underlined part from the second scripture
shows what the second evil law will be. All men will be caused to receive a
mark before they can buy or sell.
Bride of Christ, the manifestations of
these laws are being seen on daily basis, even before the arrival of the Lord,
Jesus Christ. Why should this be so? It is so because the strategy of satan has
not changed. Satan and his agents are looking for an occasion of fault in the
remnant of the bride of Christ and this fault they cannot find unless in the
law of God. This was the same thing they did to Daniel and his three friends.
Satan is a very great strategist. He might
not want to wait for rapture to take place before he would enact these laws.
Every other people had already fallen to satan except the bride of Christ.
Satan has used deception to bring the bride of Christ down but failed. He has
used enticement but failed. Now the only thing he can do is to set a trap for
the bride of Christ in the law of God.
Satan never leaves
anything to chance. He does not want anybody to make heaven. He does not want
anybody to make rapture as well. So he will rather do something that will
disqualify everybody even before the day of rapture. Because satan did not want
Jesus to survive when he was born, he ordered through an evil ruler that all
children of certain age be killed. Can you see? The new baby, Jesus was his
target but he ordered the killing of all the children. He believed that if he could
succeed in killing all the children, then he would have killed the baby, Jesus.
Can you see again that satan does leave anything to chance? In the same manner,
when Moses was born, satan used another evil ruler to make a decree that male
babies also be killed at birth. His determination is to capture all.
Strong Decision Against Evil Laws
When evil king, Nebuchadnezzar made an evil
law that all human being on earth should worship his image, the people he had
in mind to capture was the three young Hebrew men, Shedrack, Meshack and
Abednego. The Lord, Jesus Christ said "It is not men in
good health who require a physician, but the sick’’. Of what use was
making a law for the people who were deep into idolatry to bow down and worship
idol?. They were already into it. Then, the law had to be for those who were
not into idolatry.
However, despite this evil law, Shedrack,
Meshack and Abednego realized that they were the target of Nebuchadnezzar’s
evil law and they made a strong decision never to be victims of this evil trap.
Daniel 3:16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this
matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is
able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be
it known unto thee, O king, that
we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast
set up.
They were eventually saved by staying with
the strong decisions they made.
When the final evil laws were made, only
those who made strong decisions not to worship the image of the antichrist and
not to receive the mark of the beast will be saved. Only those who did not dare
the penalty of the beast will be saved like the three hebrew men. We must know
that the three Hebrew men had made the decision not to worship the image of Nebuchadnezzar
even before the law was passed. At this last time, we must also make strong
decisions against the final evil worship and the mark of the beast that is
coming. We must stand till the end even at death.
Conclusion
The era of evil laws
are around when evil leaders will scheme to do evil by laws with the single aim
of causing the few remaining bride of Christ to fall. Strong decisions must be
made to stand by God no matter what. Only those that stand till the end shall
be saved. Watch out for ecumenism and stand against it. Reject the mark of the
beast. The Lord who delivered Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego from the fiery furnace
and Daniel from lion will deliver you.
Summary
As he has always done from the biblical examples, satan always set up an
evil ruler to proclaim an evil law upon the nation or the whole world with a
view to set up the children of God against that law and then have an occasion
to persecute them. This is done when deception, enticement and other ways of
getting them have failed.
This approach was used by Nebuchadnezzar, the model
of antichrist. The approach, will once again be used shortly when the
antichrist sets up an image and commands all people to worship and also receive
his mark. Believers who fail to abide by these laws will be labeled as enemies
of the nation. As with Daniel and his three friends at Babylon, strong
decisions not to yield must be made till the end.
Prayers
1. Lord Jesus
Christ, give me the grace to stand till the end without denying nor betraying
you.
2. Holy Spirit of
God, strengthen my spirit till the end.
3. Father God, uphold
by your hand. Let me love you with my whole being even in death.
4. No matter
what, I will not receive the mark of the beast in Jesus name.
5. Lord, The
grace and courage that Daniel and His three friends receive from you, let me
receive even more in Jesus name.
