“Daniel’s people had thought of God in terms of their own small community, their own capital city and the temple there. Not only were the Jews God’s chosen people, but also (they tended to think) they held exclusive rights to him. God had never intended his blessings to stop with the Jews, however. He had the world in mind. At the time he called Abraham, he had promised that through Abraham’s offspring he would bless the whole earth (see Genesis 12: 3). The Jews had found it difficult enough to keep their own faith, let alone spread it to others. Only while captives in Babylon, unwillingly dragged far from home, did they begin to convince others that their God deserved honor. The proclamations Nebuchadnezzar and Darius made because of Daniel (4: 2–3; 6: 26–27) honored God more than anything a king of Judah had done in years.” — NIV, Student Bible by Zondervan https://a.co/gsYpO3j

““He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.” ‭‭Daniel‬ ‭7‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” The mouth of the Lord has spoken.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬ image

“But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. “So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”” ‭‭Malachi‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬
