what did daniel do in babylon?mall group at the top have to think in terms of penetrating what was the government of babylon they could shape history we could take that prayer to encourage the body of christ with these churches and small bands of believers at the epicenter to set them up like a great missionary i don't want to run a rescue shop within 1 yard of hell. final thoughts matthew 25 explains it all. will you look at this? >> use the black.
