If followers of Jesus are to give their total allegiance to God’s Kingdom, how should they relate to the governments and power structures of their own day? In this video, we’ll see how the experience of Daniel and his friends in Babylonian exile offers wisdom for navigating this tension. Following Jesus in the 21st century means learning the way of the exile.

I think this is something we as Christian's in the US need to think really hard about, and learn to balance. Because people take it to the extreme in defending the flag and the borders... we belong to Gods kingdom first and foremost. My allegiance is to him not the US.

I believe this is a great point. Yes, I'm glad to live in America -- but we often confuse 'The American Way' with God's way, even when it often isn't. He doesn't love us more than other nations. Jesus said, 'To whom much is given, much is required'. And we certainly have been given a ton! I don't think we're being the stewards we are called to be.

As Matthew Bateman so eloquently stated the USA was begun on principles the founding fathers got from the Scriptures. They wanted our country to honor our Creator as we are made in the image of God to rule on His behalf. Like Matthew said, we sure aren’t doing a very good job with what we have been given though. We can do much better. The freedoms we are afforded are indeed a blessing and we need to not take them for granted at all.

You forgot Yehovah, Jesus Father. I'll console my God, his people ignore him. Bible doesn't teach: Praying to Jesus Bible doesn't teach: Worship Jesus Bible doesn't teach: Praise Jesus Bible doesn't teach: Jesus is God Bible Teaches Praying to Yehovah Bible Teaches worshipping only Yehovah Bible Teaches Praise only Yehovah Bible Teaches Yehovah is Jesus Father "This is my son, the beloved, whom I am well pleased" - Yehovah "All Praise goes to the Father of our Lord Jesus" - Saint Paul "I didn't come to glorify myself, but he that hath sent me" - Jesus "NO MAN CAN SEE MY FACE AND YET LIVE" - Yehovah "NO MAN HAS EVER SEEN GOD AT ANYTIME" - Saint John Deny Yehovah, Jesus Father, if you like. Worship Jesus, disregard the first commandment, if you like. Just because a couple people in the bible worshipped Jesus, doesn't mean it was an order, condoned nor requested. In fact, the LAW says THOU SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHEr GODS BEFORE ME... And That's Jesus Father Talking. Jesus reiterated the import of listening to his Dad. "Blessed is he that does the will of my Father" Jesus Said. Praise Yehovah, he Resurrected Jesus, and is Who Jesus cried and pleaded to facing death - Jesus sought out Yehovah, why don't you? Heb 5:7 God Raised him up on the Third Day, according to your gospel, it doesn't say Jesus raised himself. Further, Jesus was given all power and authority after he died because he was worthy and Yehovah GAVE HIM THAT POWER AND AUTHORITY Yehovah always had it - he is GOD. Not Jesus. Jesus is the SON of GOD by Yehovah's own lips!

In Genesis It Says the Man And Woman Become One flesh in Marriage. It's Symbolic. Two being One doesn't mean same person. No Precedent - just bad interpretation that conflicts with the REST of the Bible. You Ignore a TON of Scriptures as Useless to Push Catholic Teachings that have been passed to Mainstream Christianity - Narrow Road Remember? Look at all the Scriptue YOU IGNORE that conflicts with your World View in your own bible you Cherry pick. I'm wasting Time citing Scripture -You Ignore God's Own Mouth. "But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live." - Jehovah said To Moses "No Man hath ever seen God at anytime" - Saint John 1:18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." - Psalms 83:18 - KJV Who Raised Jesus From the Dead? Who Gets all the PRAISE? Jehovah. "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation," - Saint Peter 1:3 "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort." 2 Cor 1:3 - Saint Paul Who Did Jesus Cry To? Plead To to? Beg that Cup be passed from before him? Who gave Jesus all power and Authority over HEaven and Earth? His Father gave it to him. WAKE UP BRO - Right House - wrong God. You worship the #2 LAMB if you think Jesus is God and that's against the first Commandment. WHO SAVED JESUS FROM DEATH? The Only one who COULD Save him from being Dead. Another - for raising yourself, you aren't dead, are ya? Bible Defines death: In that day, he returns to his earth, his breath returns to God, and indeed his thoughts do persish" - Pslams Heb 5:7 - During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Jehovah God is Jesus Father, Jehovah God Raised Jesus From the Dead. Jehovah God Created him before all other creations - then Jehovah Made Everything thru Jesus for Jesus. Col 1:15 - "Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him" Try to work within the Scriptures - One Scripture must coexist with the others. They all fit unless you toss in Catholic DOGMA like Trinity and then the bible doesn't work anymore - TRUTH Sets you Free. Research my cited Scriptures. I have more - but it's a waste of my time if you ignore a ton of scriptures to hang onto an interpretation that conflicts with scripture... Check My work. Jehovah is Jesus Father, Jesus is God's Son... Father son is everywhere in the bible - it takes a Catholic or a Born again or Protestant to insist Father and Son mean nothing - they are one GOD. It's takes a Catholic or Protestant or Evangelical to read scripture and say "nope" when its convenient. "No man can see my face and Live" - Jehovah God - You deny. "No man has seen God at any time" - You Know Better than a 100% Ordained SAINT John? "All praise goes to God, Father of our Lord Jesu" - Saint Paul and Saint Peter "Blessed is he that does the will of my Father" - Jesus own lips, yet you deny he has a father? Hebrew 5:7 - During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. So, Jesus prays to himself you think? After Readin Hebrews 5:7 - If you still don't See Jehovah is the One who saved Jesus From Death I Can't Help ya - to blinded. I did my homework - You need more scriptures to back you up, they shouldn't conflict with one another. The Way you Read John 1:1 and John 1:18 Literally - they conflict. When it's symbolic, Jesus and his Father are one in Agreement and purpose, a team, it works fine. Insisting Jesus is GOD is like Insisting the Quoran Is Inspired after it says "the Sun sets in a hot lake of Mud if you go far enough west." Sometimes - you need to Keep Researching Bro like the Berean Jews. Acts 17:11 - Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. You have to Deny Jehovah's Lips, Jesus Lips, Saint John, Saint Paul and Saint Peter to Insist Jesus is GOD. I Just Proved it to you.

I was a very subversive person and desperately wanted (to provide, even) a way out of Babylon. I couldn't function anymore. I was hopeless and became sick and resentful. I am so thankful to God that i've found peace in Jesus and confidence in his victory over Babylon. I believe he is the only way to stay sane and healthy in Babylon, and simultaneously escape it, after having seen that you actually do live in Babylon. He saved me.

Plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and allow your daughters to get married so that they too can have sons and daughters. Grow in number; do not dwindle away. 7 Work to see that the city where I sent you as exiles enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the Lord for it. For as it prospers you will prosper.’

We live counter to the people and culture around us, not in violence or overt "holier than thou" attitudes, but by, as Paul told Timothy, praying for those in power that we may live godly lives in quietness and dignity.

Amen. Good afternoon Bible Project. Thank you so much for this video, it helped me to understand the way that we Christians are called to live in this world where we have to have balance, we are called to resist internally against corrupt things and other evil and messed up things but always living to honor God in everything we do and be loyal to him only. We are called to love our enemies, live with them, pray for them and their people, but never give up on your belief in Yahweh for other gods! Best lesson!!! God never abandons us my brothers and sisters! “Live in the World, not be of the World.” This world is messed up but we should always have hope for it. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your families as well.

@Bible Flock Box It is just a depiction. After all no one has even painted the real image of Jesus so why focus on Jesus's Earthly body? Jesus is spirit and that's what you need to put in your small mind.

This made me understand why i couldn't choose any "sides" about the election. It was all filled with idolatry and I'm happy I refused to bow down. Thanks guys, really. What you're doing here is amazing.

Hi I'm 17 years old but I decided to follow Jesus when I was 15 and now I'm happy in serving Him. This video helped me so much because I have been thinking that my service to God is useless because my family doesn't agree with my faith. Thanks to this video hoping that more people will see this to strengthen their faith and to fight the good fight. Please pray for me also and for the salvation of my family. My name is Ely Cedric from Philippines God Bless you all 😁

You summarized a very important point in the Bible about how we should be in a society. And I think MLK is a great recent example of that.(In case we find old/new testament stories hard to relate to) He did not create revolts nor did he ignored racial inequality. He peacefully marched, got beaten as well, achieving way more than violence ever did. And what did fellow marchers bring with them? Right American flags, because they still wanted the well being for their country. Do you guys see the similarities? I do! Anyway Selma is a great movie about MLK and his marches. Praise Jesus :) and great video Bible Project!

MLK did great things for American society, and his legacy lives on, but he shouldn't be held as a good example of Christianity. Martin Luther King held heretical views and was an adulterer. He was not orthodox in any proper sense. Christians should admire the good work he did, but not uphold the man himself as a paragon of Christian living.

@@zeklez1164 We are all sinners, but that isn't an excuse. Frankly, it is a cop-out, and one I only tend to hear from American and European Christians, as though the fact that we're all in need of a saviour negates our duty to speak and live righteously. There is no evidence that MLK ever repented of his sins. In fact, there is evidence to the contrary. Moreover, regardless of his personal morality, he was a heretic. He denied basic tennents of the Christian faith like the virgin birth. If you deny such fundamental truths, you are not Christian, you are a heretic. Like I said, MLK did many good things, but he was not and should not be considered a good example of Christianity because by the standards of the faith as passed down for 2000 years, he wasn't a Christian. You may be upset by this, but it's the truth.

Moral of the story: 1》 Hold eternal allegiance to what is most good & true. Be at one with God. "The Greatest Commandment." 2》 Have wisdom (& eyes of forgiveness) to see what you love beyond what you hate. "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." "Love your neighbor as yourself." 3》 Give your life to stand for what is righteous. "Take up your cross and follow me." - Jesus Christ.
