Blind to Parallels?

Last Sunday, I listened (via zoom) to a lesson based on Daniel 3 (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego) and 6 (Daniel in the den of lions). As I listened to the teachers and to class comments, I wondered if any latter-day parallels (recent mandates) would be acknowledged. I did not hear any, and I wonder if it is even possible to discuss mandate parallels in the divisive, fearful climate that has been created in the last two plus years.

Of course, our recent test1 did not amount [or did it?] to a burning fiery furnace, but can we not see any example or parallel? We were not faced (this time around) with imminent death for refusing to obey authorities or alleged experts, but many experienced significant loss of freedoms and livelihood; discrimination and invective2; and the “fury” of some leaders, enforcers, and narrative believers who were alarmed or terrified by MSM reports (and distortions).

But what is the purpose of scripture and history, if not to acknowledge the examples and parallels for our day?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace [or any other unlawful order or power abuse or lie], and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image [of pscience3] which thou hast set up.
19 ¶ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: (Old Testament | Daniel 3:16-19)
Millions of us have witnessed:
▪ how the visage of presidents, prime ministers, and others was changed in a matter of days against those refusing experimental vaccination;

▪ how once respected citizens were suddenly anathema — despised as selfish, unchristian, morally deficient, anti-science, etc. by leaders, family, friends, and others (review footnote 2);
▪ how all the admirable progress of the last half-century toward more universal equity and justice has been suddenly upended by an oppressive, bullying, cultural shift.
And what of Daniel who, with his friends, had the wisdom and courage to refuse the king's food? or to disrespect the king's decree forbidding prayer [religious gathering?] (Old Testament | Daniel 6:7)?

On the other hand, how many latter-day authorities, professionals, enforcers, and others have been caught unwittingly in a power-grab conspiracy, not unlike the entrapment of king Darius?
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 ¶ Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 ¶ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
18 ¶ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. (Old Testament | Daniel 6:3–18)
How many parallels might we be missing?

Now two questions for those who still believe the COVID narrative4 or the predictive programming of more illness to come; or that safety ranks above freedom; or that contagion risk makes our day unique and, thus, has nothing in common with Daniel. Consider:
▪ if CV were a conspiracy5 of power to destroy human rights and freedoms and God's creation;
▪ if Pharma corps have already been fined billions for fraud6;
▪ if many pro-experimental-vax advocates are heavily invested in Pharma shares or lucrative patents;
▪ if more illness is undoubtedly coming because the CV power-grab and the public's conversion to pscience and fear was so enormously successful;
then, 1) how can you know whether the unexplained increases in death7 and illness are another CV variant OR intentional fallout from the experimental alleged cure? and 2) will your continued support or belief have consequence8?

At some point each individual will have a choice to forgive or not the injuries or harms they individually suffered, but to forget as a society is to invite egregious repetition. These compilations witness the bullying, dark-side of human nature where safety becomes the prime value of fear-driven acolytes of a Domination System that has been pursuing total control and WO for millennia.
3. Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honorable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, heretic-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system. The 21st Century question is: What are we now enabling or supporting? Science or pscience?

8. Book of Mormon | Ether 8:22-26
   22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
   23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
   24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
   25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
   26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.
