Bingo! ' more patriotic / civic activities ' or in other words, Not following Jesus words found at John 17:14
Sinner Satan is the ' god ' of this world of badness - 2nd Cor. 4:4, so it is No wonder at 1st John 5:19 we read the whole world lies in Satan's power.
Friendship with the corrupt world makes one an enemy of God - James 4:4.
Not saying Christians should Not obey the law of the land in which they are living ( as long as the law does Not conflict with God's Law ) but Jesus instructed first 'spiritual' activities for his followers such as found at Matthew 24:14; Acts1:8 to proclaim the good news of God's kingdom of Daniel 2:44 to everyone.
Daniel never wrote anything about Jesus. He was writing about Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Abomination of Desolation.
