"Daniel's physical history in Chapter Two teaches the following lessons.
a. Leaders of countries ought not to be the judge of the opinions of others to the point of giving them the death penalty for their ideas. Religious Liberty and freedom of opinion should exist uninterfered with in a sinful world in order that the Truth can exist without persecution. One should not lose his Right to Life from government law because his religious opinions and beliefs are false.
b. False religious beliefs and opinions brought the death penalty thus the loss of Religious Liberty to some men in Daniel's time. Dan. 2:1-12.............................
What we have seen so far is that in Daniel's physical history, the Right of Religious Liberty has three basic parts. They are:
i. No enforcement of Religion.
ii. No protection of Religion.
iii. No prohibition of Religion.
10. The following is also true under Religious Liberty.
A religion or a God could be proclaimed by a government decree.
b. But there is to be no penalties attached to that proclamation, thus Religious Liberty is not breached.
RIGHT OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
NO ENFORCEMENT OF RELIGION
NO PROTECTION OF RELIGION
NO PROHIBITION OF RELIGION
12. The physical history of Daniel in his book also reveals the Rights of God.
a. The Right of God to rule over all is a general summary of the three fundamental Rights of God. These are:
i. The Right of God to be worshipped by all.
ii. The Right of God to be the source of knowledge and revelation to all.
iii. The Right of God to be the Judge of all.
