Blessed Kingdom Comrades @ Zion: Our "Today's Scripture Quote" reveals that everyone who is really determined to become a keeper of integrity and sustain his Faith in Almighty God whilst in an alien world will do well to consider the good example of Biblical Daniel and his three Jewish companions.

No matter how vicious the threat, these three Hebrew keepers of integrity and confidence continued to live by Divine principles. Hence, their display of clean manifestation of heroism of virtues, namely:

 Faith and Integrity. When their lives were in danger, Daniel displayed his counsel and sensibleness against all tempting odds confronting him, yet with respect to the King's superior authority

(Daniel 2: 14-16).

When the issue was forced, the three Hebrew heroes preferred the burning fiery furnace to an act of idolatry, which is spiritual adultery. Daniel preferred the lions pit to foregoing his sacred privilege of Prayer. In each instance God granted protection

(Daniel 3: 4-6, 16-18, 27; 6: 10-11, 23).

Daniel, in fact, provides a splendid example of prayerful reliance on Almighty God; & throws a big challenge to our modern day believers who are incompetent to maintain integrity when their lives are in peril. A Faith strengthening lesson indeed!

Often, in times of trouble @ our passing through the Divine "University Of Temptations, Trials & Tears (Univ.T.T.T.), we, more often than not, fail to realize God's Presence with us. Therefore, we do not know how to find God's hiding place where we rejoice in the shadow of His wings & our hearts are lifted up with song. The Scripture says:

 "For in the day of evil He will hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tent will He keep me concealed: He will set me high upon a rock"

(Psalm 27:5).

Morever, often we fail to put the Almighty God first in our lives; we have not so valued the sense of His Divine Presence as to learn more of His Beauty and to inquire into His Purpose and His Thoughts for us. Our souls have not followed hard after Him, as our caring Heavenly Father, so when trouble comes He seems far away and we don't even know the comfort of feeling Him very close to us and His right Hand upholding us.

In fact, to know what Faith in CHRIST De MESSIAH secured to us; and to be practically in the familiar maximum utilization of it, to His Glory, are quite different things. Our Faith in CHRIST De MESSIAH makes us His for eternity, and makes His (Christ De Messiah) Father to be our Father, and The Spirit to be the Holy Comforter to us. It afford us eternity and Heaven, God's Kingdom, and a Divine Comforter to sustain us in time of trouble in the here. Lo and behold, our being so blessed and knowing it too - and the optimum enjoyment thereof and our capacity to act upon it in the time of need are altogether quite different things.

Happy to have such "Famous Jewish Guys" in the persons of Daniel and his three Jewish companions in clean manifestation of heroism of virtues, expressed in ultra-violent Faith and Integrity with ardent zeal and love of their religion. In fact, they are real model keepers of integrity, confidence and goodwill towards God. Truly, great men are always great men!

Regrettably, many a Christian or Zionist nowadays are disappointing God and denying our Great Lord and Saviour, CHRIST De MESSIAH, Who died for us and by His Blood purchased eternal life for us. How many among the strongest adherents of Holy Christianity of nowadays are ready to sacrifice their lives even unto death just for the prevailing of the Truth of the Faith of CHRIST de MESSIAH in their lives?

A Christian or Zionist indeed is not a work of opinion but of greatness of mind, especially when one is hated and persecuted by the world. It is fitting, therefore, that we should not only be called Christians & Zionists, but be so indeed. For Christianity is not the work of outward profession but shows itself in the Power of Faith if a man be found faithful unto the end. And indeed nothing is more noble and powerful than perfect Faith by which all things both spiritual and earthly are possible and all problems abolished. In fact, the beginning is Faith and the end is Love. And these two great virtues joined together, are of God; while all other things, which concern Holy Life are the ingredients and consequences of these.

Even so should we desire to die godly for the sake of the Lord, CHRIST De MESSIAH Who is our Blessed Lord and Saviour. For by so doing we can ever begin to be His Disciples. Nor should anything move us, whether visible or invisible that we may attain to our Blessed Lord, JESUS CHRIST De MESSIAH YAHSHUA. Let fire and the Cross; let the companions of wild beasts; let breakings of bones and tearing of body members; let the shattering in pieces of the whole body and all the wicked torments of the Devil come upon us: only let us enjoy the Lord, CHRIST de MESSIAH. All the ends of the world, and the kingdom of it will profit us nothing.

I would rather die for CHRIST de MESSIAH than rule to the utmost ends of the Earth. Him alone I seek Who died for us; Him I desire; Him alone I seek Who died to save our Souls. At best, that is the sole gain that is laid up for me! 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
