1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:07,900
I was sitting in on a study that
online study when the 

2
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:15,400
congregation at Oakdale was 
having this last week, and One 

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,100
of the readers read from Daniel 
the third chapter. 

4
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:22,500
And the part that he read, just 
really brought out some good 

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:24,100
points. 
And I thought, well, I'll study 

6
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:29,500
that and and see if I can put 
together a little lesson that 

7
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:34,300
hopefully will help us and 
benefit us all and encourage us 

8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,700
in our daily living, the times 
were living in. 

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,700
And I'm not talking about 
necessarily the pandemic that we

10
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,900
that we're living in. 
I'm talking about the morality 

11
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:49,100
of this world, the times that we
are living in our something like

12
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:55,800
we've never seen before, things 
that are wrong are celebrated. 

13
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:00,200
And things that are right, are 
looked down upon. 

14
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,700
Morality is looked down upon if 
your moral, you're just an old 

15
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,300
prude. 
You're you're you're just not up

16
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,700
with the world today and if 
you're immoral it just seems 

17
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:17,100
like you're praised and your 
glorified all the things that 

18
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:22,600
God has ordained are looked down
upon in all things. 

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,900
God condemns Or praised. 
It seems today that everything 

20
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:36,200
is upside down. and so, What? 
We're going to notice this 

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:43,800
morning is that in the Book of 
Daniel, the nation of Israel was

22
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,900
going through some troubling 
times as well. 

23
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:53,300
And they were in Babylonian 
captivity in here in, Daniel the

24
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,500
first chapter verses 1 and 2, 
and the third year of the reign 

25
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,500
of jehoiakim, king of Judah, 
Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon.

26
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,400
Came to Jerusalem and besieged 
it. 

27
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,400
And the lord gave jehoiakim, 
king of Judah into his hand. 

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,900
And some of the Articles of the 
house of God, which he carried 

29
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:19,200
into the land of shinar to the 
house of his God, and he brought

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,200
the Articles into the Treasure 
House of his God. 

31
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,500
So, God's people. 
God allowed them to be taken 

32
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:33,500
over. 
And to be besieged and the 

33
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:37,200
Articles, all these things were 
then taken to Nebuchadnezzar's 

34
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,700
stockpiles if you want to say 
and taken out of out of the 

35
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,300
possessions of the children of 
Israel, excuse me. 

36
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:51,300
This was decreed by God and it 
was because the nation of Israel

37
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,600
was not following God and not 
doing the things, God wanted 

38
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,700
them to. 
They were, they were committing 

39
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:06,800
sin against God. and so, during 
this time, There were Daniel and

40
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,900
several others that were 
selected and and were trained 

41
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:15,100
for three years, to have to be 
special servants to King 

42
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,600
Nebuchadnezzar, rest of Chapter 
One deals with that and then 

43
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:26,100
chapter 2 deals with Daniel 
interpreting the Kings Visions 

44
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,900
or the Kings dreams. 
These, these four men, the of 

45
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:36,400
the nation of Israel were the 
cream of the crop. 

46
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,800
They are the ones that were 
healthy. 

47
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,300
They were the ones that were 
smart and skilled in knowledge. 

48
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:49,000
They were given special food. 
Only the even the king 8, but 

49
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
then these men stood up and 
said, and especially Daniel 

50
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,000
said, we're not going to defile 
ourselves and eat things that 

51
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,200
are not pure and things that are
not right. so, but they were 

52
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,500
then when they went into 
service, For King 

53
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,700
Nebuchadnezzar, they were given 
special names. 

54
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:16,200
Daniels name was Balthazar a 
servant of bail. 

55
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,899
And Anaya was given the to the 
name Shadrach, which means 

56
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:28,100
inspired by the sun. 
God Michele means who is what 

57
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:42,200
God is was renamed. 
Meshach I knew I wasn't going to

58
00:04:42,207 --> 00:04:44,300
pronounce it, right? 
So I had to stop and think about

59
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:45,100
it. 
Me Shaggy. 

60
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Who is known as the moon. 
God Azariah means the Lord's 

61
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400
help but Abednego means servant 
of Nebo. 

62
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,600
So they were given these 
Babylonian names names to more 

63
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,100
being in tune with the gods that
they worshipped and the idols in

64
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:07,500
the and the false gods. 
So, these are the men that were 

65
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:08,900
going to talk about this 
morning. 

66
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Not necessarily Daniel but 
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego 

67
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:18,600
Abednego So we've been going to 
begin our study in verse 1 of 

68
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,100
chapter 3. 
And it says Nebuchadnezzar, the 

69
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:28,100
king made an image of gold whose
height was 60 cubits and it was 

70
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,000
and it's with six cubits. 
He set it up in the plain of 

71
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,600
dura in the province of Babylon.
And King Nebuchadnezzar sent 

72
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,300
word to gather together. 
The satraps, the administrators,

73
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
the governor's, the counselors, 
the treasure Jurors the judges, 

74
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,800
the magistrates and all the 
officials of the province's to 

75
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,700
come to the dedication of the 
image, which King Nebuchadnezzar

76
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:58,100
had set up. 
So the set traps, the 

77
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,000
administrators, the governor's, 
the counselors, the treasures, 

78
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:04,700
the judges, the magistrates, and
all, the officials of the 

79
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,800
Providence has gathered together
for the dedication of the image,

80
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,800
that King Nebuchadnezzar had set
up, and they stood before the 

81
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
image that Nebuchadnezzar had 
set up. 

82
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:20,600
Then he heralded, he a Herald 
cried, then a Herald cried aloud

83
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
to you. 
It is commanded. 

84
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,600
Oh people Nations and languages 
that at the time you hear the 

85
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,500
sound of the horn. 
Flute, harp lyre and sultry. 

86
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,200
In Symphony with all kinds of 
music, you shall fall down and 

87
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,000
worship the gold image. 
That King Nebuchadnezzar has set

88
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,200
up and whosoever does not fall 
down or worship shall be cast 

89
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,000
immediately into the midst of a 
burning fiery furnace. 

90
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,600
Now, today we see all kinds of 
laws and rules for living in 

91
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,800
this society that we live in the
tells us that we need to think 

92
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:08,500
and we need to act in certain 
ways and will understand on some

93
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,700
of those. 
We understand that if we need to

94
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,500
drive down the right-hand side 
of the road and everybody else 

95
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,800
is driving down, the right-hand 
side of the road, we don't have 

96
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,000
a problem with that. 
But there are a lot of things 

97
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,200
today that tell us that we need 
to think a certain way that is 

98
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800
not in tune with what God tells 
us to do. 

99
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,100
They tell us as we said, 
everything is upside down these 

100
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:35,800
days but they tell us we need to
accept certain Lifestyles. 

101
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,600
We need to believe certain ways,
and if you don't believe in that

102
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,100
way, then you're named certain 
names, maybe it's a bigot, maybe

103
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,600
it's a homophobe, maybe it's 
whatever you want to call it 

104
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:52,900
these days. 
But there are a lot certain laws

105
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,000
that are in opposition to God's 
laws. 

106
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,400
And also then there is the peer 
pressure that we sometimes are 

107
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,700
put under to act in certain 
ways. 

108
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,900
When we're around, certain 
people are in certain 

109
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:08,500
atmospheres. 
If you want to say, it's going 

110
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:13,900
to verse 7. so at that time when
all the people heard the sound 

111
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:19,700
of the horn, The flute harp and 
liar, in Symphony, with all 

112
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:23,600
kinds of music, all the people 
Nations and languages fell down,

113
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:27,500
and worship the gold image, 
which King Nebuchadnezzar had 

114
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:32,400
set up. 
The king had his men build this 

115
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,900
image. 
That was by calculation over 90 

116
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:41,600
feet tall and almost 20 feet 
wide and it would have been 

117
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,100
visible for Rob probably miles 
in that area of the country, the

118
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:50,000
king for all called, for all 
these different officials to 

119
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,500
come together for that meeting 
and be kind of like someone 

120
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:57,100
saying, well, everyone that's on
the federal payroll needs to 

121
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:01,200
show up for this. 
All the officials of the land 

122
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,400
were supposed to show up and be 
there for this meeting. 

123
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,900
That was mandatory So he said 
from this point on every one 

124
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:14,700
Must Fall Down and Worship this 
image which the king had made. 

125
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,800
And if they didn't, they would 
be thrown into the fiery 

126
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,900
furnace. 
And so there was no waiting 

127
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:25,800
period. 
There was no trial or anything 

128
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400
like that. 
If you didn't bow down, you 

129
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,900
would be noticed and you'd be 
immediately thrown into the 

130
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:36,100
fiery furnace. 
We know waiting. 

131
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,300
So as soon as the music Started 
soon, as the instruments were 

132
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:46,800
playing right at that first 
note, you'd see the whole crowd.

133
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,300
Bow Down. 
That'd be a sight. 

134
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:58,300
Just to hear a sound and all of 
a sudden, everyone just drops to

135
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,800
bow. 
Well, everyone did except three 

136
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,900
How was Shadrach Meshach and 
Abednego? 

137
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:17,200
So as that happens, of course, 
certain people notice these 

138
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,300
three men standing and here 
comes the social police. 

139
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,700
Here comes the as today they're 
called maybe Karen's they're the

140
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:31,500
ones that come up and they're 
ones that are going to tattle on

141
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:35,600
these three guys. 
So listen to verse 8 therefore 

142
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,800
at that time certain Chaldeans 
came forward and accused the 

143
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,700
Jews they spoke and said to King
Nebuchadnezzar oh King live 

144
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,800
forever. 
You O King have made a decree 

145
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800
that everyone who hears the 
sound of the horn. 

146
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:54,400
Flute harp lyre and psaltery and
Symphony with all kinds of music

147
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,400
shall fall down and worship the 
gold image and whoever does not 

148
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,300
fall down and worship shall be 
cast into the midst of the 

149
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:04,900
burning fiery furnace. 
There are certain Jews whom you 

150
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:08,700
have set over the Affairs of the
province of Babylon. 

151
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:14,100
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego 
these men O King, have not paid 

152
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:18,700
due regard to you. 
They do not serve your gods or 

153
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:22,000
worship the gold image, which 
you have set up. 

154
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:26,300
Oh, there's that. 
Always that little tattletale 

155
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:29,900
comes around, you know, and 
wants to spread that news and 

156
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,700
and and tell on someone else. 
And maybe we may be ridiculed, 

157
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:42,600
we may be intimidated, we may be
falsely accused and so on for 

158
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,600
our faith and it seems that more
and more is the case. 

159
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,500
These days, you will be 
ridiculed for your faith. 

160
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,800
These men were standing for what
they believed in, no matter 

161
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400
what, the decree was, no matter 
what the intimidation was, no 

162
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,200
matter what their peers thought 
of it, no matter what, the rest 

163
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,000
of the crowd. 
Did know what, no matter what 

164
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,100
anything did they knew what they
had to do. 

165
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:15,800
And so do we these days? 
We may be ridiculed for what we 

166
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,700
believe in and what we stand 
for. 

167
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:27,000
Notice verse 13, then 
Nebuchadnezzar in Rage and fury 

168
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,000
gave the command to bring 
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. 

169
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600
So that, so they brought these 
men before the King, 

170
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,300
Nebuchadnezzar, spoke saying to 
them, is it true? 

171
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:43,900
Shadrach Meshach, and Abednego 
that you do not serve my gods, 

172
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,700
or worship the gold image, which
I have set up. 

173
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:54,000
Now, if you are ready at the 
time, now notice here, King, 

174
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,300
Nebuchadnezzar is like, saying, 
I just want to make sure you 

175
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:01,600
understand this that you didn't 
misunderstand the decree that 

176
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,900
was given previously, I want to 
repeat it to you and make sure 

177
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:08,400
you understand it, he says. 
So now, if you are ready at the 

178
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,600
time, you hear the sound of the 
horn, the fluid the harp lyre 

179
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,300
and psaltery and Symphony with 
all kinds of music and you fall 

180
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,900
down and worship the image, 
which I have made. 

181
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:24,800
Good. 
But if you do not worship, you 

182
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,900
shall be immediately cast into 
the midst of a burning fiery 

183
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:32,900
furnace. 
And who is the god, who will 

184
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:38,900
deliver you from my hands. 
You see this was a man that 

185
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,200
thought in worldly ways he was 
at acknowledging, God for what 

186
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,200
God really was, he wasn't 
recognizing God. 

187
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,600
He was worshipping the idols and
all these other things and all 

188
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,100
the gods that they had made 
amongst themselves and he says 

189
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:55,700
basically which one which God is
it? 

190
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,400
That's going to save you from 
that. 

191
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:06,300
Well, they declared their faith,
listen to The Confidence of 

192
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:09,700
these three. 
Young men verses 16 through 18, 

193
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:14,600
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego 
answered and said to the king o 

194
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,700
Nebuchadnezzar. 
We have no need to answer you in

195
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:21,600
this matter. 
Wow. 

196
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,300
What a statement to a King? 
In other words, we don't answer 

197
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:33,000
to you Nebuchadnezzar. 
He's the one that's in 

198
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Authority. 
He's the one that's in rural. 

199
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,100
He's the one that has their 
lives in his hands and they 

200
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:42,700
stand there and say we don't 
answer to you King, 

201
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:52,200
Nebuchadnezzar. 
If that is the case, our God. 

202
00:14:53,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Whom we serve is able. 
To Deliver Us From The Burning 

203
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,700
fiery. 
Furnace That's a statement. 

204
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:09,600
A declaration of their faith. 
We don't have faith in your 

205
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,900
gods. 
In other words, we don't answer 

206
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:14,800
to you, we don't answer to other
gods, we don't answer to 

207
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,800
anybody, but our God, whom we 
serve is able to Deliver Us from

208
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,600
the fiery furnace. 
That's pretty strong. 

209
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:31,300
That's really strong. 
That's our God today. 

210
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:40,100
That is our God today. 
And he says, he goes on to say, 

211
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,400
And he will Deliver Us. 
From your hand. 

212
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,600
Oh King. 
But if not now notice he says 

213
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,300
let it be known to you. 
He says I'm putting you on. 

214
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:05,700
Notice I'm putting you on notice
King, O King that we do not 

215
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:10,000
serve your God. 
Nor will we worship the gold 

216
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,700
image, which you have set up? 
These three men were not afraid.

217
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,900
They were not afraid to decide 
to declare their faith in God. 

218
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,200
They were not afraid to stand up
to at the intimidation. 

219
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000
They were not in frayed, to 
stand up to the threats. 

220
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,500
They were not afraid to stand up
to the ridicule. 

221
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:33,300
They were not afraid to stand up
to the tattletales. 

222
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:37,600
They were not afraid to stand up
to anyone else or anyone at all.

223
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Said we will serve our God 
because he is able to Deliver Us

224
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,000
from the fiery furnace. 
That's our God, too. 

225
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:56,400
That's our God. 
He's able to Deliver Us from all

226
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
the things that we put up with 
in this life. 

227
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:06,400
The pain. 
The suffering, the intimidation,

228
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:12,599
the mental abuse, the the worry,
the sin, and all of these 

229
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,800
things, God is able to deliver 
us. 

230
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,500
Because he has that ability. 
They stood for what they 

231
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:24,400
believed. 
These three young men, I'm sure 

232
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,300
remembered the command that was 
given to back in Exodus the 

233
00:17:28,308 --> 00:17:33,900
second chapter verses to thrive.
He said I am the Lord your God. 

234
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,800
Who brought you out of the land 
of Egypt? 

235
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,100
Out of the house of bondage. 
You shall have no other gods 

236
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:43,600
before me, you shall not make 
for yourselves. 

237
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,100
A carved carved image, any 
likeness of anything that is in 

238
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:51,900
heaven above, or that is in the 
earth beneath, or that is in the

239
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,600
water, under the Earth. 
You shall not bow down to them 

240
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,800
nor serve them for. 
I am the Lord your God. 

241
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,200
I am a jealous God. 
Our God is a jealous God. 

242
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:09,200
Our is a god that is the only 
God whom we serve. 

243
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:13,100
We do not serve man, we do not 
serve anything else. 

244
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:21,800
Other than our God, that's it. 
We get caught up in all kinds of

245
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,100
things of the world, get 
distracted by things of the 

246
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:29,700
world that pull us away from the
things, but they made this 

247
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,200
commitment. 
You know, I like people that 

248
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,900
make commitments just like you 
do. 

249
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,000
When someone comes to how your 
house and maybe gives you a bid 

250
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,500
on cleaning, your carpets or 
painting your house or putting a

251
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,700
roof on your house or whatever, 
and you shake hands with them or

252
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:51,600
you sign a contract and they 
come and they do that job and 

253
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,300
they do it the way they intended
to do it. 

254
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:56,000
And you what you thought they 
were doing it, they're committed

255
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,900
and everything goes good. 
We like commitments. 

256
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:01,600
We like people that are 
committed to do what they say 

257
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,300
they're going to do. 
Seems like more and more of 

258
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:11,500
these days that, you know, when 
you go to sign a contract, you 

259
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:14,100
have to have a team of lawyers 
behind you to make sure that 

260
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:16,800
nobody's going to get away with 
something. 

261
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,700
The old handshake is not what it
used to be. 

262
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:24,200
I like people that make 
commitments but we need to be 

263
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,500
committed to serving God today, 
too. 

264
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,300
We need to be committed to not 
be participating in Morality In 

265
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:36,300
sexual sin. 
In and even the appearance of 

266
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:41,500
evil the marriage vows that we 
that we made when we were, when 

267
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,500
we were younger or those still 
things that were committed to 

268
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,000
today in the world today. 
Those vows almost mean nothing. 

269
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,200
Committing ourselves on our 
families to serving the lord, 

270
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,900
make a commitment to raise our 
children in the nurture and 

271
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:04,500
admonition of the Lord. 
So that they become Christians 

272
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:08,700
so that they can be saved. 
Making that commitment. 

273
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:19,200
These men made a decision to 
remain holy and faithful, no 

274
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:28,600
matter what the circumstances. 
and, you know, we make that 

275
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,900
decision. 
To remain. 

276
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:37,100
Holy and faithful. 
Not when we're confronted with 

277
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:42,900
The temptation, but way before, 
were confronted with the 

278
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:46,300
Temptation, you've heard me say 
that before our decision should 

279
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:50,900
have been made a long time ago, 
that if this ever happens, this 

280
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:57,700
is what we will do. 
Why is it we have to talk people

281
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:02,800
down from from sin sometimes? 
Well, Shadrach Meshach, and 

282
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,400
Abednego didn't have to be 
talked down in into this 

283
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,700
commitment. 
It was what they wanted to do 

284
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:12,100
to, please God. 
You know, as I said we're so 

285
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:16,300
pulled away were so Lord, by the
things of this world that the 

286
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:19,700
world has to offer us and it 
pulls us away from our 

287
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,900
commitment to God and remaining 
faithful. 

288
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,900
They knew that there was a 
possibility that they would die,

289
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,900
whatever the Lord's will was, 
but they didn't know what the 

290
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:33,400
Lord's will was. 
They knew that there was a 

291
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,500
possibility that they would die.
But they also remembered that 

292
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,800
command, that they should serve 
no other gods and they were 

293
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,400
willing to do what God Said. 
To please him. 

294
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,300
Sometimes we know what we are 
going to have to give up. 

295
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,300
To make the right choices and 
remain faithful to God. 

296
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,600
And sometimes that's we struggle
with that. 

297
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:04,300
Sometimes, it's notice verse 19,
then Nebuchadnezzar was full of 

298
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:08,800
Fury and the expression on his 
face changed towards Shadrach 

299
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,300
Meshach and Abednego. 
He spoken meant commanded that. 

300
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:16,300
They heat the furnace seven 
times more than it was at 

301
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,600
usually heated. 
So maybe I'm pretty mad. 

302
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:25,200
Of course, you know, a king, the
one that is in Authority, the 

303
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,100
one that everyone bows down to 
in the one that gives all the 

304
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:32,800
rules and all the all the way 
that he wants everything done. 

305
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,700
And then these three men come up
and say we don't answer to you. 

306
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:40,700
King what you have to say about 
it doesn't mean anything to us. 

307
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:44,200
Do you imagine how mad he'd get?
Yeah. 

308
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:48,800
Could you imagine one of your 
children come to you and say you

309
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,400
tell them I want you to go out 
and side mow the yard, I don't 

310
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,700
care what you say Mom and Dad, I
ain't do it. 

311
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,900
Would get pretty upset. 
You know what? 

312
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,000
And you know God I believe had a
hand in the Wake. 

313
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:10,200
King Nebuchadnezzar reacted 
here. 

314
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,900
Because I think he wanted God 
wanted to prove beyond a shadow 

315
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:16,800
of a doubt that he was in 
control. 

316
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:22,900
King said heat that furnace up 
and Stoke it up seven times 

317
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:26,300
hotter on what it usually is. 
Don't you think God was kind of 

318
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:29,200
making sure that King 
Nebuchadnezzar made it sure that

319
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,700
there was no doubt that when all
this happened and is we're going

320
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,500
to see happened that there was 
no doubt that God had a hand in 

321
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,200
it, it was God in that was in 
control. 

322
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:49,200
And remember. 
When we were at home, you know 

323
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:55,600
with come in from maybe being 
out gone from home for a while 

324
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,100
and we had a wood stove in the 
house and it be kind of cold. 

325
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,700
And say boys won't just woke up 
that fire and get it. 

326
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,100
Get it going, get it warmed up. 
No, someone would get that 

327
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,100
thing. 
Go to open up the dampers on it,

328
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,400
and just get the thing just 
blazing. 

329
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Get that sometimes we got a 
little too hot, see the old 

330
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:22,100
stovepipe, just read Got a 
little too hot that's what they 

331
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,600
were doing. 
Stoke up that fire, get it seven

332
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,100
times hotter than what it is. 
First something that we're 

333
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,600
afraid of? 
Our total all of our parents 

334
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,900
told us, never play with fire, 
you're going to get burned. 

335
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,500
We do everything to keep the in 
our power to keep fire under 

336
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:43,900
control. 
We have smoke detectors in our 

337
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,900
in our homes. 
We keep fire extinguishers 

338
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,800
nearby and just in case we 
haven't set our pants on fire if

339
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:55,800
we're welding, But they had 
total faith that God would 

340
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:04,200
deliver them. 
They had trust in God. 

341
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:09,600
When I was younger. 
Not too long after we got 

342
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,300
married, I was, I was working 
with the fire department there 

343
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:15,900
in Cottage Grove middle of 
night. 

344
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:20,200
We got alarm went out there was 
an auto parts place that was on 

345
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,200
fire, they had paint and things 
like that. 

346
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,800
And well, you know, when you 
pull up, it's a little different

347
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:31,600
today than it was then. 
Got off the truck Lieutenant. 

348
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Grabbed me by the back of the, 
by the back of the jacket. 

349
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,300
And said, let's go. 
Grab the hose and we didn't, we 

350
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:40,900
didn't put on an air mask or 
anything at that point in time. 

351
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:44,000
We just ran right in there. 
Smoke was so thick. 

352
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,500
You couldn't see your hand in 
front of you. 

353
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,700
You were breathing smoke, not 
air. 

354
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,600
And he grabbed a hold of me and 
just shove me right in there 

355
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,200
and, and was but, but you know 
what, I had trust and I had 

356
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,300
faith in him because he had the 
back of my jacket and I had 

357
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,200
trust that he knew what he was 
doing. 

358
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,100
And if things got too bad, he 
was going to yank me and pull me

359
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:06,400
right out of there. 
That's the way God works with 

360
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,800
us. 
We have to trust him. 

361
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,700
We have to put faith in him 
because he is able. 

362
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:23,200
Absolutely is Abel. 
Isaiah 41:10 fear. 

363
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,300
Not for I am with you be. 
Not dismayed for I am. 

364
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:30,700
Your God. 
I will strengthen you. 

365
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,100
Yes, I will help you. 
I will hold uphold you with my 

366
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:43,500
righteous right hand. 
There is peace with whatever. 

367
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,300
God's answer was to them. 
They had that piece in their 

368
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:50,000
mind, God is able notice 
Ephesians 3 and verse 20. 

369
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Now to him who is able to do 
exceedingly, abundantly above 

370
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,100
all that we ask or think, 
according to the power that 

371
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:05,000
works in US. 
We know God is able. 

372
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,100
We know he's able to take us and
help us through time trying 

373
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:12,600
times of trial and troubles and 
problems in our life. 

374
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:19,900
But beyond what we can even 
comprehend God has abilities 

375
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,300
that we do not even understand. 
So why not put faith in him? 

376
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,900
he abundantly exceedingly 
abundantly above all that we can

377
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:38,400
even think or ask all we get on 
our print knees and we pray and 

378
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,800
we pray and we pray and we ask 
and we ask and ask and God is 

379
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:50,100
able to do that and even more 
God is able now, this is verse 

380
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:54,500
20 through 25. 
Any commanders, certain Mighty 

381
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:58,500
Men of Valor who were in his 
army to bind, Shadrach Meshach 

382
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,400
and Abednego and cast them into 
the burning fiery furnace. 

383
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,000
Then these men were Bound in 
their coats, their trousers, 

384
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,500
their turbans and their outer 
gone out. 

385
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:11,500
Other garments and were cast 
into the midst of the burning 

386
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:14,300
fiery furnace. 
Therefore, because the king 

387
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,100
command, the King's Command was 
urgent. 

388
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:21,700
The furnace exceedingly, hot, 
the flame of the fire killed 

389
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,600
those men. 
Men who stood up. 

390
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:28,000
Who took up Shadrach Meshach and
Abednego. 

391
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,000
That fire was so hot. 
They had an experience that 

392
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,400
before because this fire was 
seven times hotter than what 

393
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200
they had ever experienced that 
the men that threw them in their

394
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,400
died. 
And these three men. 

395
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,200
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego 
fell down bound into the midst 

396
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,000
of the burning fiery furnace. 
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was 

397
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,300
astonished and heroes in haste 
and spoke saying to his 

398
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:57,500
counselors. 
Did we not cast three men bound 

399
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:02,300
into the midst of the fire? 
They answered and said to the 

400
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:03,600
king. 
True O King. 

401
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:10,100
Look, he answered, I see four 
men loose walking in the midst 

402
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,800
of the fire and they are not 
hurt. 

403
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,400
And the form of the fourth is 
like the son of God. 

404
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,800
I think God had a hand in that, 
no doubt about it. 

405
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,800
This wasn't King 
Nebuchadnezzar's gods. 

406
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:39,600
This was God. 
The Shadrach Meshach and 

407
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,100
Abednego decided to remain. 
Holy and faithful to God. 

408
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:49,900
They serve God and no one else 
in the world that we live in. 

409
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,200
We don't have to participate in 
the Sin that's around us. 

410
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,400
We have to live among it but we 
don't have to participate in it.

411
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,100
No. 
To Second Corinthians 6 and 

412
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:07,600
verses 14 through 18. 
I got a hold of ahead of myself.

413
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,600
Do not be unequally yoked 
together with unbelievers for 

414
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,400
what Fellowship has 
righteousness with lawlessness 

415
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:18,900
and what communion has light 
with darkness and what Accord 

416
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:23,100
has Christ with Belial or what 
part has a Believer with unbeli 

417
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,400
an unbeliever and what argument 
agreement has the temple of God 

418
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,400
with Idols for you? 
Are the Temple of the Living. 

419
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,300
God as God has said, I will 
dwell in them and walk among 

420
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,900
them. 
I will be their God and they 

421
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:40,300
shall be my people. 
Therefore come out from among 

422
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:43,300
them and be separate says, the 
Lord. 

423
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,700
Do not touch, what is unclean 
and I will receive you. 

424
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:49,900
I will be a father to you and 
you shall be my sons and 

425
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:56,100
daughters says the Lord Almighty
We have to live in a world of 

426
00:30:56,100 --> 00:31:01,400
sin. 
But we don't have to partake in 

427
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,200
it. 
He says come out from among them

428
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,900
and be separate. 
Separate means there is a 

429
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,600
dividing line, a separation, a 
complete separation from what is

430
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,700
sinful and what is not sinful. 
That doesn't mean that you can 

431
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:21,000
walk over here part of the time 
and then come back across the 

432
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
line. 
It says, what come out from 

433
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,300
among them and be separate. 
Separate ourselves from the 

434
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:31,500
things of the world. 
And there is a value in 

435
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:34,800
remaining faithful while we're 
going through these trials and 

436
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,200
testing of our faith. 
Our faith will be tested 

437
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,100
Revelation 2 and verse 10. 
Do not fear any of those things 

438
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:45,300
which you are about to suffer. 
Indeed, the devil is about to 

439
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:49,200
throw some of you into prison, 
but that you may be tested and 

440
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,900
you will have tribulation 10 
days, be faithful unto death and

441
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:55,900
I will give you the Crown of 
Life. 

442
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:01,400
Their faithfulness, these three 
men their faithfulness affected 

443
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,500
other people, whether they 
realized it or not, but it 

444
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,600
affected other people. 
And so, does our lives, we may 

445
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,200
not realize how we influence and
affect other people in our 

446
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,700
faithfulness to encourage 
others, to be faithful, and 

447
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:19,100
remain faithful in the patterns 
of Our Lives. 

448
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,200
People are watching us to see 
how we react when we go through,

449
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:29,300
trials and problems in life. 
And we have the opportunity to 

450
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:33,600
influence those people. 
Look how it affected. 

451
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:38,600
King Nebuchadnezzar. 
Then Nebuchadnezzar went near 

452
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,000
the mouth of the burning fiery, 
furnace and spoke saying, 

453
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,400
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego 
Servants of the most high God 

454
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,300
come out and come here. 
All of a sudden King 

455
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:57,400
Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges God.
Look how that affected, the 

456
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,100
king, he wanted them, not to 
just too long ago to Bow Down 

457
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:05,500
and Worship his idols and his 
gods. 

458
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,100
And now he is recognizing the 
one and only true God. 

459
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,500
It says, come out and come here,
and Shadrach Meshach, and 

460
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:21,300
Abednego came from the midst of 
the fire, and the set traps 

461
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:25,700
administrators Governors, and 
the Kings counselors gathered 

462
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,600
together. 
And they saw these men on Whose 

463
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:35,200
bodies, the fire had no power. 
The hair of their head was not 

464
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,900
singed nor were their garments 
affected and the smell of the 

465
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:45,300
fire was not on them. 
Well, you know how it is, where 

466
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,600
we sit around a campfire. 
We're not sticking our hand in 

467
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,200
the fire. 
We're not doing all these things

468
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,800
but we sit around that fire and 
we go away and we smell like 

469
00:33:54,600 --> 00:34:00,400
campfire smoke, don't we? 
There was not a hair on their 

470
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,000
head, that was even singed. 
Nor even the smell of the fire 

471
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,100
on them. 
Nebuchadnezzar spoke saying, 

472
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:13,500
blessed, be the god of Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego who sent 

473
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:16,800
his Angel and delivered his 
servants, who trusted in him, 

474
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,600
and they have frustrated, the 
king's words and yielded, their 

475
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,900
bodies that they should not 
serve nor worship, any God, 

476
00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:27,500
except their own God. 
Therefore I make a decree that 

477
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:32,600
any people Nation or language 
would speaks against amidst a 

478
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Miss against the god of 
Shadrach. 

479
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,100
Meshach, and Abednego shall be 
cut in pieces. 

480
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,800
And their houses shall be made 
in a sheep because there is no 

481
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,100
other God who can deliver like 
this. 

482
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:51,400
Then the king promoted, Shadrach
Meshach and Abednego and the 

483
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,600
province of Babylon. 
You see how these three? 

484
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,300
Men's faithfulness, impacted the
lives of other people. 

485
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,300
So does our faithfulness, when 
we remain faithful in times of 

486
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:16,000
troubles and trials Humans and 
Their Kingdoms, glorify their 

487
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,300
own power and they redefine, 
right and wrong. 

488
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:25,300
And don't acknowledge God as the
true king. 

489
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,000
You can say that something is 
right? 

490
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:33,800
That doesn't make it right. 
We know that God knows that. 

491
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:37,900
We can say something is wrong, 
that doesn't make it wrong. 

492
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,400
We know that God knows that. 
We just need to remain faithful 

493
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,400
to God. 
God has promised that he will 

494
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,800
overcome and has overcome the 
kingdoms of this Earth. 

495
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:54,400
And one day those kingdoms will 
be destroyed and the only 

496
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,600
Kingdom that will remain is the 
kingdom of God.
