Essential Studies.
Daniel 3 and 4, Obeying God and not men
Additional studies: Daniel Index
Daniel and his friends are righteous, and obey God in every instance, but they are sharing the same fate as the rest of the Jews who were idolatrous. They are captives in Babylon, they are not living in their homeland and worshiping God at the Temple in Jerusalem. But God has His plan and His purpose for having them there. He is not punishing them. But they are witnessing the truth of God at the highest levels. The trials their obedience lands them in, are being used by God to teach who He is, to those who were ignorant of Him. They are a light shining in a dark place.
Proverbs 2, Treasuring the Word within the heart
Additional studies: Proverbs Index
The heart is a hollow organ (as a house is hollow), and is meant to hold something within it (as the house holds the family within it). What it holds within is the life-giving blood, which it then distributes to all corners of the body. In the same way, the spiritual heart or inner man is hollow and is meant to hold something within it that it distributes to all corners of the person. YHVH admonishes us to be sure that His words are what fills our hearts. They are life-giving, and the heart will distribute that life from the inner man to all corners of the person.
Revelation 2, The synagogue of satan
Additional studies: Revelation Index
On growing antisemitism: We cannot fail to discern that there are polar opposites in those who revere God, and those who revere satan. Some do not make that distinction, to their shame. Israel, as a kingdom of this world, will suffer the fate of all the kingdoms of this world, and that includes the United States. But, God is calling His people home to the physical piece of land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Both these realities are true. We honor Judah and those of him who have circumcised their hearts to love and serve YHVH God. In Messiah Yeshua, we have become one olive tree.
