But you previously said that God doesn't intervene (slavery example)... And now you're saying that God did intervene for Daniel because he prayed...
So which is it?
Our enslaved ancestors didn't pray hard enough???
Actually i think if you go back and read my post properly I never once said God DOESN'T intervene, i said it is not HIS JOB to intervene. God is not here to get involved in every perceived injustice in a world that is full of them, especially when this world belongs to Lucifer and it is he that rules here, and the only reason he is in that position is because Humanity rejected God in the first place.
But God will and does answer prayers for those who patiently seek out and wait on God, for those who do not doubt as those of a doubtful heart and mind will receive nothing from God.
I used the example of Daniel stopping and giving up but thats not the only one. What if during those 21 days Daniel decided to take a break one friday night to go to a club with the homies, he got drunk and brought some girl home and smashed before ending the night smoking some weed he picked up earlier before falling asleep? What effect would that have had in the spiritual realm? What if just like the Israelites in the wilderness did, as the days went he began to doubt God in his heart and mind more and more, and then aloud? He might have still preyed but without proper conviction or belief.
Maybe our ancestors didn't prey 'hard enough'? Maybe they didn't seek God in spirit and truth, maybe they doubted him the whole time in their hearts, maybe they gave up from time to time and their breakthrough was delayed, stopped and pushed back many a time. You wasn't there so how would you know otherwise? MAYBE the same reasons of stubbornness, doubt and sin which caused Israel to spend
40 years toiling in the wilderness and delayed their reach to the promise land, are the same reasons it took our ancestors
400 years before they were finally free?
