In order for us to understand the dark spiritual forces and their influence on the world’s plan to convert our children, we must study some history from the Old Testament scriptures and the Book of Daniel. The nation of Israel, because of sin and idolatry, was ultimately led off into captivity by their enemies. The northern kingdom of Israel (or Samaria) was carried off into captivity by the Assyrians in 721 B.C. One hundred and fifteen years later in approximately 606 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon would invade the Kingdom of Judah and put them under Gentile dominion. The city of Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon would be destroyed by the Babylonians 20 years later in 586 B.C. During this 20 year period, Nebuchadnezzar would invade the land of Judah three (3) times and each time carry off Jewish young people and other Jews bringing them to the land of Babylon.

  • The 1st deportation of the Jews took place when Jehoiakim was king of Judah in 606 B.C. (II Chron. 36:5-7). It was at this time that Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were taken to the land of Babylon (Daniel 1:1-3,6).

  • The 2nd deportation of Jews took place when Jehoiachin was king of Judah in 597 B.C. (II Kings 24:11-16). It was at this time, Ezekiel the prophet was brought to the land of Babylon.

  • The 3rd deportation of Jews takes place at the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. when Zedekiah, the last in the line and lineage of David was king (II Kings 25:1-11).

In the 1st deportation, Ashpenaz, the master of Nebuchadnezzar’s eunuchs was instructed by the King to bring to Babylon “certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king” Daniel 1:3-5

The purpose of bringing the very best and brightest of the Jewish young people to Babylon was to assimilate them into Babylonian culture and society so they could be a part of and further the goals and agenda of the King of Babylon. In order to do this, a three (3) year curriculum was set up with a 4 part plan (The devil and the world today are using the same plan.)

  1. Change Their Curriculum – These Jewish young people had been taught Hebrew and the scriptures. What they had been taught had to be changed. Daniel 1:4 “and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans”. In order for these children to be used for the benefit of Babylonian society and culture, they had to change the way they thought and the way they spoke. That is exactly what the world and Satan want to do with our children today. That is why curriculum such as CRT (Critical Race Theory) and the 1611 Project are being implemented into the public schools for the purpose of indoctrinating and brain washing our children to believe that the founding “Fathers” of America were racist, white men whose ultimate plan and purpose for the founding of our nation was to subjugate and to use the black race to enrich themselves.

In reality, America became a great nation because it was founded by men who believed in the God of the Bible and its laws and principles. The laws of our land are based on the laws of scripture. The demon influenced leaders of our country who are anti-God, anti-Christ and anti-Bible cannot allow our children to believe that. If they do they can’t be used to promote the agenda of the Anti-Christ!

  1. Change Their Diet – These Jewish young people would now be fed with the food from the King of Babylon’s table, “And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.” (Daniel 1:5) In partaking of these foods these young people would violate the Jewish dietary laws of Leviticus 11. That is why Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah did not want to eat these foods. (Daniel 1:8) The devil knows if he can defile a Christian young person with SIN it will be easier to get them to quit living for and serving the Lord. Their mindset will be “I can’t serve the Lord, I’m defiled, I’ve sinned!” This is what happened to Peter until Jesus restored him to service. (John 21:1-19) This is why the public school system is not concerned with teaching our children reading, writing, arithmetic, history and science (true science and not “science falsely so called” I Tim. 6:20) but the liberal educators want to instruct our children about sex education, abortion rights for minors, transgenderism and LGBTQ rights. It’s to defile them and convert them to heathenism.

  2. Change Their Names – Daniel 1:6,7 “Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:” The names Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah all gave glory to the God of Israel:

  • Daniel means – “God is my Judge”
  • Hananiah means – “Jehovah has been gracious”
  • Mishael means – “Who is equal to God”
  • Azariah means – “Jehovah hath helped”

Their new assigned names gave glory to heathen deities:

  • Belteshazzar means – “Bel (Baal) protects the king”
  • Shadrach means – “the command of the moon god”
  • Meshach means – “who is like Aku” (a heathen deity)
  • Abednego means – “the servant of Nego (Neb)” (a heathen god)

Everything and anything that these young Jewish people had been taught and all that was a part of their past lives, even their names had to be removed in order to secularize and heathenize them, so as to assimilate them into Babylonian culture.

By the way, here’s something to consider… If the names of every saved, redeemed person is recorded in the Book of Life in heaven (Mal. 3:16; Rev. 20:15), there are no names in it such as Beltashazzar, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego because these are not their names! Their names in God’s Book are Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. So why do we keep on calling Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah by their heathen names of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego?

  1. Change Their Faith – Their belief and faith had to be changed from the God of Israel and the scriptures to a belief in the heathen gods of Babylon. That’s the intent of the secular educational system in America today. The religions of the American education system are:

  • Humanism – To promote the deification of man  (Gen. 3:5)
  • Science (falsely so called – I Tim. 6:20) – To promote atheism and control people
  • Sexual tolerance – To promote sins against God and
  • Nature (Rom. 1:26,27)
  • Progressivism – Which is Marxism with a new wrapping. A system which is Anti-God, Anti-Christ, Anti-Bible and Anti-America

CONCLUSION – If we are going to prevent Satan and the world from converting our children to their godless ways of thinking and living, we must not allow them to control the education of our children. We must raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, (Eph. 6:4), so they are not corrupted today by what is essentially the lifestyle of Babylon, the worldliness of Babylon and the religion of Babylon. We must fight for our children!

“And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” Neh. 4:14
