Restore the Age Where the Gospel Has Been Cut Off

Daniel 1:8~9 “But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs,”

God’s greatest concern is the Gospel. Whenever the Gospel was cut off, God prepared church officers, who were businesspeople, and Remnants to restore the Gospel. During the time when Israel faced destruction and was taken captive to Babylon, what did Daniel confirm?

1. Those Who Lost and Those Who Discovered the Way
Those who did not know the way were satisfied with food sacrificed to idols. However, Daniel who overcame the physical desires of daily life resolved to find the time schedule of seeing evidences given by God(Daniel 1:8~9). Daniel’s three friends who found the way of the Gospel realized the reasons why the age lacked the Gospel; why powerful nations held dominion over weaker ones; and why the age of idolatry faced destruction(Daniel 3:8~24). Even in the crisis of death, they staked their lives on the spiritual battle that would be absolutely won.

2. Witnesses Who Discovered the Way in an Age When the Gospel Was Cut off(Daniel 6:10~20)
Even in the age of Babylonian captivity, the church officers whom God had prepared received answers. However, the people of the world, for the sake of their own success, became jealous and bitter; tried to kill others; and even spread malicious lies and slander. Daniel, a witness who found the way of the Gospel, focused on God and was completely victorious. Through his daily prayer of thanksgiving, he gained complete victory(Daniel 6:10~20).

When you listen to God’s Word, there is something you must do. You must always confirm the covenant. Also, you must follow the path of God’s Word and the stream or flow of the Gospel. Then regardless of answers, whether great or small, you’ll become a witness to save the age that is void of the Gospel.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, armed with the Gospel, help me to live as a witness of Christ who restores this age that is suffering from destruction and curses. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. How Should You Follow the Flow of the Word?

The Path of the Restoration of the Gospel
The Covenant Journey of Remnants

The Age When Abraham and Joseph’s Family Line Originated(Genesis 12:1~3)

The Age of Restoration(Exodus 3:18) and the Next Generation(Deuteronomy 6:4~9) through Moses

The Age of Fulfillment of Samuel and David(1 Samuel 16:13 and 1 Chronicles 29:10~14)

The Age of Elisha’s Conquest(2 Kings 2:9~11) and Church Officer Obadiah(2 Kings 6:8~24)

The Age of Completion of Paul and the Early Church(Acts 2:1~47) and the Disciples of Christ(Romans 16)

God’s greatest concern is “only Gospel.” In this age when the Gospel has been cut off, why did God call you as a church officer and businessperson? God wants you to restore the Gospel. In order to do so, you must follow the path of restoring “only Gospel” and concentrate on that flow.

“When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.” (Daniel 6:10)
