What To Do When “Some” Are Probing? Here Are What The Great Men That The Bible Commends Did:

What To Do When “Some” Are Probing? Like in Daniel, Joseph, and Jesus In The Bible some “wise men” will try to probe and trick who they are jealous of into compromise.

The “wise men” tried everything to find fault in Daniel and on top of that, they tricked King Darius, who loved Daniel into a law that could potentially harm Daniel. They tricked King Darius into a degree that whoever doesn’t worship him in a given time would be thrown in the lions den. Daniel of course obeyed God out of love and did not cave in to the “jealous” “plot.” Then “the wise men” immediately after tricking Darius, fetched Daniel, and they threw him into a lions den. Of course Darius was upset with himself for being tricked, but they had to trust God that God would vindicate on their behalf and God did save and vindicate Daniel by shutting the mouths of the lions.

(God vindicates us who are walking with God.)

All one needs to do when there is a probe and this happens to most people who are innocent as we see throughout the Bible is let God do, and vindicate. God knows how to make things right for those who trust in Him (See Romans 8:28 and Romans 12:19).

The Scribes and Pharisees also did the same with Jesus. The devil tried also to tempt Jesus to give in to “mirage plan” the devil had, which was that the devil would give Jesus the kingdoms of the earth. Jesus already owns everything. Jesus replied to the devil saying “men shall not live by bread alone BUT BY EVEY WORD THAT PRECEDES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD (JESUS).” This was not a suggestion that God made, it is a law to follow on earth if one wants victory from God.

Joseph had his brothers who didn’t accept him, sell him into slavery, and then later Potiphar's wife who tried to seduce Joseph because she “liked” him, and failed at doing so. She wanted Joseph to sleep with her and he tried to resist her—she then pulled off his coat as he was fleeing. She then (lies) told her husband (Potiphar) that Joseph tried to hurt her, and Potiphar did not really believe her anyway, because he sent Joseph back into prison again instead of sentencing him to death.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (KJV) Says: 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Joseph was (around one to two years) later remembered by the cupbearer in the pharaoh’s court, because Pharaoh needed a dream interpreted and Joseph got freed. Joseph was freed because he had interpreted a dream for the cupbearer.

God saved Daniel from the lions by shutting the mouths of the lions and instead of Daniel the “wise men” or should we call them foolish jealous men ended up thrown in the lions den with their families.

Joseph ended up getting married to a virtuous women later and was a powerful ruler because he had interpreted the pharaoh’s dream saving the land and Israel from a famine. (Potiphar on the other hand did not have a virtuous wife.)

Jesus had with the Pharisees always on His case trying to falsely accuse Him, but they failed time and time again and Jesus ultimately rose from the dead when they crucified him freed the world from sin and death.

That is how Daniel, Joseph, and Jesus were falsely accused and probed into and yet they were all victorious at the end.
