Even now, the Triune God is at work; the problems of Genesis 3, 6, and 11 continue to persist; and Satan is working “25 hours” a day to destroy you. Knowing these facts, the 7 Remnants of the Bible focused on the Gospel and enjoyed the full power of being filled by the Spirit of Jehovah(Genesis 41:38 and 1 Samuel 16:13). As a Remnant leader who will receive strength to save this age, what must you wait for and enjoy?

1. 25-Hour Status
You are not waiting vaguely. Rather, you must wait by enjoying your God-given status and the blessings found within it. Daniel, who was held captive in Babylon, knew who he was; resolved before God; and enjoyed his status as he waited(Daniel 1:8~9). You, too, must know who you are; enjoy your status as God’s child; and wait.

2. 25-Hour Authority and 25-Hour Background
Daniel, who resolved, faced a grave crisis when he had to enter the den of lions. God not only sent angels to Daniel, but also established him as a witness of the Gospel before the powerful nation of Babylon. You, too, can enjoy God-given authority and wait for the day until world evangelization takes place. You also possess the background of Heaven. Even though you live in a world where Satan seems to be the master, you belong to God and your citizenship is in Heaven. Just as He had done with Daniel, God will raise those who enjoy this mystery before kings.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may this be the greatest time of knowing and enjoying what I possess. Please grant me the filling of the Holy Spirit so that I can wait for the day when You begin to work. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Does “But Even If He Does Not” Mean?

Daniel 3 records the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold and commanded the people of Babylon to fall down and worship it.

If Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego disobeyed and did not bow down, they were to be immediately cast into a burning fiery furnace.
King Nebuchadnezzar who knew this fact gave the three young men another chance.
Still, they did not bow down and worship the golden image.
The king, filled with fury, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be thrown into the burning fiery furnace that was heated seven times more than normal.
The following was the confession of those three friends who faced impending death.

“But even if He does not,” Daniel 3:18

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew who they were and their background.
Not only were they rescued from the burning fiery furnace, God established them as witnesses to the fact that God was alive to the entire Babylonian kingdom.
Although you live in this world, you are a child of God who possesses the background of Heaven.

“But even if He does not.”
