1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And he answered and said, lo, I 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire, 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: and they have no hurt. And the form of the 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: fourth is like the son of God Daniel three twenty five. 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: One of the greatest joys I have, Heavenly Father, is 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: knowing that I don't have to try to defend you 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: in your greatness when others are bent on trying to 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: discredit your power and holiness. Because of this, when people 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: of influence try to abuse their power and try to 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: get me to bow to the idols of their beliefs, 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: I will stand tall like Shadrack Mishak and Abednego. I 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: will stand tall in the midst of their threats and 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: scare tactics, because no matter what they do, I will 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: be unharmed because your arm of protection is all around me. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: When the heat of the situation arises in my life 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm in the furnace of adversity, 17 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: instead of tears, I'll choose to praise you because I 18 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: know there's another in the fire that is protecting me, 19 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: so that not one thread of my clothing will be 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: singed by the flames. As I come out of the 21 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: fiery trials in life. I thank you that I won't 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: appear like I just came out of hardship because you 23 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: elevate my life. No one will get the credit for 24 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: what is happening except you in Jesus name. Amen, thank 25 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: you for praying with me today. Continue listening for an 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: incredible Bible story brought to you by Bible in a 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: year dot com. 28 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: The King and the Fiery Furnace. In our last story, 29 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: King Nebukanezzer was tormented by dreams. In search of an interpretation, 30 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: the king sought out the wise men and magicians of 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: the time. They had no answers for him, so the 32 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: king went out to destroy all the wise men in 33 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: the nation. Before he could do this, Daniel gave him 34 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: an interpretation. The Lord was faithful to show Daniel and 35 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: the king what was going to take place among the nations. Daniel, 36 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: just like Joseph before Pharaoh, was given governance over the kingdom. 37 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: As a result. Now we look at another interaction between 38 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: Nebucanezzer as men of God, Chadrak, Nishak and Abednigo are 39 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: faced with a choice between bowing to the King's God 40 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: or facing certain death. In flames inspired by the Book 41 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: of Daniel. 42 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: This is Jack Graham. Thank you for joining us today 43 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: for the next episode of the Bible in a year. 44 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 3: In our last time together, we saw how God spoke 45 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: through Daniel to give Nevikanazer understanding about his dreams. Though 46 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: no person in the kingdom could tell the king what 47 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: he saw, Daniel glorified God as he showed the king 48 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: that God alone could read the hearts and minds of men. 49 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 3: As a result of Daniel's move of faith, Nevganazar began 50 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: to see that there is a God above all others. 51 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: He wasn't yet fully bought in, however, and as we'll 52 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: learn today, King Nevikanazar still wanted glory and honor for himself. 53 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: And as he builds an idol to himself and commands 54 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: all to worship him, three young Jewish men are put 55 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: to the test. Will they follow the One True God 56 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: or obey the king or follow the crowd? And the 57 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: big question is this, would God protect them when they 58 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: face fiery consequences for their decision. Let's listen now to 59 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: today's reading of a great story from God's word. 60 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: Vatue shimmered in the summer sun. Its golden frame reflected 61 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: the light in every direction for miles. It stood above 62 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: every home and building in the nation, looming over the 63 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: people like a watchman. It was King Nebuchonzzer's greatest accomplishment, 64 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: a fifty foot golden statue praising his God in his dream. 65 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: Only the head was gold, and it represented his kingdom. Now, 66 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: Nebuconezzar erected a statue that was pure gold, a representation 67 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: of his kingdom, lasting forever. It was idolatry at its finest. 68 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: All the governors, councilors, and officials in the Kingdom of 69 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: Babylon were invited to the palace to stand before the statue. 70 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: Its golden rays shone down on the people below. The 71 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: king stood below the statue, looking outward to all his 72 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: leaders before him. Beside him was a band of musicians. 73 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: The horn, the lyre, the pipes, harps and bagpipes were 74 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 2: all surrounding him. My servants, Neberkaneszza shouted by my decree, 75 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: when you hear the music playing, you shall fall down 76 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: and worship the image before you, and the herald proclaimed aloud. 77 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: You are commanded o peoples, nations and languages, that when 78 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: you hear the sound of the horn pipe, liar, trigon, 79 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: harp bagpipe, and every kind of music, You are to 80 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: fall down and worship the golden image that King Neberkanezzer 81 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: has set up. And whoever does not fall down and 82 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: worship shall immediately be cast into a burning, fiery furnace. Therefore, 83 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of 84 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: the horn pipe, liar, tragon, harp bagpipe, and every kind 85 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: of music, all the people's nations and languages fell down 86 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: and worshiped the golden image that King Neberkanezza had set up. Shadrak, 87 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: Mishak and Abdnagarh were all in attendance. They looked at 88 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: each other as the words of the king poured out 89 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: to the people. They knew they could not bow to 90 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: this idol. It was idolatry that got their people captive 91 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: in the first place. Then they heard the King's voice again, saying, 92 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: whoever refuses to bow shall feel the intensity of my furnace. 93 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: They shall burn. The music played, and all in attendance 94 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: bowed before the statue. All except Shadrak Mishak and Abednigo. 95 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: They stood firm in place, refusing to pay homage to 96 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: a false god built out of pride. The men were 97 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: brought before the king and questioned. The king berated them 98 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: and demanded they bow. When the music was played, neber 99 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: Canezer fumed with a jealous rage. He saw their lack 100 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: of obedience as a personal attack against him. You shall bow, 101 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: or you shall burn, the king growled, No God can 102 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: save you from my wrath. Shadrack, Mishak, and abd Nego 103 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: answered calmly to the king. We have no need to respond, 104 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: they said, our God will deliver us from the furnace. However, 105 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: even if he does not and we end up burning, 106 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: know that we will never serve your guards. The three 107 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: men were beaten before the king and dragged into the 108 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: boiling room, where the furnace raged. Its heat was tremendous. 109 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: The flames raged in the iron violently. The three men 110 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: of God were bound by ropes and taken close to 111 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: the furnace. Even standing next to it was painful. More 112 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: wood was added to the furnace, making its grasp for 113 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: any person in its reach. Shadrak, Meshak, and Abdnago were 114 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: tossed in the flames, and the guards who threw them 115 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: in were burned and killed. In the closets. The fire 116 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: engulfed Shadrak, Mishak and Abdnago. Neber Canezza watched as the 117 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: fire danced around the men. His evil smile was illuminated 118 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: by the flames. However, something caught his As there were 119 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: no screams, no cries for help, neber Canezer peered closely 120 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: at the fire. The three men stood there. No, it 121 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: seemed as though four men were standing there. Did we 122 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: not throw three men into the fire? Neber Canezzer asked 123 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: his men. We did, sir. The men replied, But neber 124 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: Canezzer clearly saw the shadows of four men standing in 125 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: the furnace. He saw them walking and speaking amongst one another. 126 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: His eyes widened as he looked at the fourth man 127 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: standing among them. He was glorious and unhurt by the fire. 128 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: He stood over the three men as a protector. His 129 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: appearance was like a son of the gods. Neber Canezzer 130 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: began to well up with fear. His usually confident demeanor 131 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: was replaced with apprehension. Shadrack, Mishak and a bed Nigo, 132 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: servants of the Most High God, come out of that furnace. 133 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: If you are able. The three men did as they 134 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: were asked. Their bodies, hair, and clothes were completely unburned. 135 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: All men in attendance shuddered in awe and fear. The 136 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: king stood before them, ashamed and afraid. Blessed be your God, 137 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: he shouted, I once told you no God could save 138 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: you from me. 139 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: I was wrong. 140 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 2: Your God has delivered you. The three men remained silent 141 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: in response, allowing the king to process what he had 142 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: just witnessed. King Nebuconezza turned back to his men and said, 143 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 2: whoever speaks out against their gods shall be torn limb 144 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: from limb. There is clearly no other god more mighty 145 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: than he. 146 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: In God's word. Today, Nebukanazar seems to have forgotten his 147 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: adoration of Daniel's God. His concern is now much more 148 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: self centered and self focus. Full of pride, the king 149 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: had a fifty foot statue of gold, built an image 150 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 3: of himself to represent a kingdom he believed would last forever. 151 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: This was quite questionable, of course, given that he has 152 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: heard Daniel's interpretation of his dream, which was a clear 153 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: word from God that Neviganazar's kingdom, though it was strong 154 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: and impressive, would one day end. Only God's kingdom will 155 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: endure forever. But the sinful heart is deceitful above all things, 156 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 3: and the Bible says desperately wicked, and nevigan Azar was 157 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: certainly deceiving himself. He was also deceiving the people, for 158 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 3: he issued a decree that when the music began to play, 159 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: everyone was to bow down to the idol of the king. 160 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: They were to worship Nebganzzar as God. This was not 161 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: uncommon for the times, rulers often were considered gods by 162 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 3: the people, but for the Jews, this was of course 163 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: a clear violation of God's law. And there were three 164 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: men in attendance for this ceremony of self indulgent that 165 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 3: were not about to disobey their God. Their names Shadrak, 166 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 3: Mishak and Abadnigo. These were Daniel's friends and assistants. They 167 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: were faithful Jews who, along with Daniel, had refused to 168 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: defile themselves with the king's foot. But this time the 169 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: story is much different. The king wanted all to pay 170 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: homage to him, to worship him and bow down before him, 171 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: and anyone refusing would be thrown to their death in 172 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: a fiery furnace. Death, of course, would be certain. The 173 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: king's astrologers, men who did not fear the lord and 174 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: wanting nothing more, tend to see these foreign men wiped out, 175 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: went to the king and informed him of their disobedience 176 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: in refusing to bow down. They wanted judgment and punishment 177 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: upon these three young men. Nevickanazar was enraged. He would 178 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: not stand for this disrespect and disobedience, so he brought 179 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: them before him to give the men another chance, but 180 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: they were unmoved. Rather than make excuses or escape, they 181 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: stood their ground, saying, we don't need to justify ourselves 182 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: to you. This isn't what the king wanted to hear. 183 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: He would have thought, of course, you need to justify yourself. 184 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: I am a god king. So he made it clear 185 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: to them that if they didn't obey, it would be 186 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: the furnace for them, and no God could save them. 187 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: Shadrak mishak Abednigo stood their ground. God had rescued his 188 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 3: people from much worse, and he could rescue them. I 189 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: love what the Bible says in Daniel three Pot. Eighteen 190 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: when the men said that our God is able to 191 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: deliver us. They then went on to say, but even 192 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 3: if he does not, we want you to know, your Majesty, 193 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: that we will not serve your gods or worship the 194 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: image of gold you have set up. Our God is 195 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: a god of deliverance. He saves us and rescues us. 196 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: But sometimes God does not intervene. And we need to 197 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: say what these young men say that day when they 198 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: were threatened. But if not, those are the words which 199 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: describe our faith in the face of unthinkable circumstances. God 200 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: will deliver us. We believe that. But if not, even 201 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: if we die, we still will not disobey God. We 202 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: will still follow him. Our calling is to trust God 203 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: and to serve no other God, and to bow to 204 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: nothing but God himself. The king can't believe his ears, 205 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: so he literally turns up the heat to the point 206 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 3: that it killed the guards who threw the three bound 207 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: men inside. But as the king and his men waited 208 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: to hear the tortured yells of dying men, they instead 209 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: saw four men rather than three, standing and talking. Just 210 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: like there were no flames to be felt. The fourth 211 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: person in the fire had the appearance of the Son 212 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: of God. This is the pre incarnate Christ. There's no 213 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: doubt God sent himself as the protector and rescuer into 214 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: the fire to say his loyal service. Neb Cadezar was 215 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: left with no choice but to let the men out, 216 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: and not a hair on their heads or bodies were singed. 217 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: The God of the Hebrews had once more shown his awesome, 218 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: mighty power, and the king confessed again that there was 219 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 3: no god above the Lord. When God's people stand firm 220 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: for him and faithful to him, the world has no 221 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: choice but to take notice. Dear God, thank you for 222 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: the faith and the faithfulness of Shadrak, Meshak and a Bendigo. 223 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: May we be like these young men that we will 224 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 3: not bend, we will not bow, and we trust you 225 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: that we will not burn. We know that our faith 226 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: in our trust rescues us from every danger, but if not, 227 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: we will be in your presence forever.
