At the outset of Daniel, we read of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, invading the land of Israel, taking the Israelites captive back to Babylon (Dan. 1:1-2). Once in Babylon, he sought to imbue the Israelites, at least the young, fit, intelligent men, with the language and culture of Babylon. All that Nebuchadnezzar did was to turn these men from their God.

Among them, Daniel (which means “God is my judge”), to whom he gave the new name Belteshazzar, meaning “Bel protects the king”, Bel being the name of a Babylonian god (Dan. 1:7).

We see similar today in our own culture. Those around us seek to imbue us with their beliefs. They wish us to accept and even encourage their sin, their idolatry as it were. They change the language, overriding the meanings and underpinnings of words used for centuries (marriage, gender, etc.) and attempt to induce Christians to acquiesce.

Yet like Daniel, who “made up his mind that he would not defile himself” (Dan. 1:8), and his companions, Hananiah (renamed Shadrach), Mishael (renamed Meshach), and Azariah (renamed Abed-nego), who chose to honor God rather than please the king, we must stand firm on our faith and reject the culture’s attempts at coercion.

We must be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58). We must not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom. 12:2).

Let not threats from or fear of those who belong to the world deter you from your devotion to God. For God knows your troubles. Consider Him who endured hostility by sinners against Himself so that you will not grow weary and lose heart (Heb. 12:3). Do not fear; for He is our God - He will strengthen us, help us, uphold us (Isa. 41:10). There is nothing man can do to us that compares to what God can do to all (Mt. 10:28).

If we endure, we will one day reign with Him (2 Tim. 2:12). Refuse to bow to the gods of this world, and He will be with us just as He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the fiery furnace (Dan. 3:8-27).

"A citizen in a constitutional republic enjoys liberty when government protects rights through established law. Once that government begins surveillance, censorship, or coercion justified by safety concerns, both liberty and independence erode. The surveillance state does not announce its arrival as tyranny. It arrives through incremental expansion and manufactured consent.

A country achieving separation from an empire wins independence. Whether that country secures liberty depends entirely on whether it restrains its own rulers afterward. Most post-colonial states discovered this difficult truth: removing foreign chains means nothing if domestic tyrants fill the vacuum. The declaration of independence marks only a beginning. Building institutions that preserve liberty against domestic power concentration constitutes the actual work." !

SHARING – ‘Sasha Latypova: A Coordinated Campaign of Control and Public Harm’
https://oneway2day.com/2025/06/19/sharing-sasha-latypova-a-coordinated-campaign-of-control-and-public-harm/

SUMMARY: Substack DrTrozzi posted an Anti-Medical/Anti-Globalist Tyranny interview with Sasha Latypova (31:11-Minutes) which includes the text highlights of the conversation. There is a hint of criticism of RFK, Jr. and Trump MAHA choices. The Substack post is entitled: “Sasha Latypova: A Coordinated Campaign of Control and Public Harm: Medical coercion, legal immunity, and historic eugenics parallels raise questions about the true purpose of COVID policy”. I believe the title should be sufficient to spark your curiosity. WATCH-READ-LEARN! Then take whatever personal actions to resist any imposed tyranny in the present or future.

‘The reason for the global terror campaign that began officially in the minds of most people in late 2019, was a premeditated plan of terrorism, collusion, coercion and, ultimately, murder... This quote is the admission of four felonies,’ Dr. David Martin argued.
