Come on and light my fire! Daniel 3:22-24

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Remember where we left off?  Nebuchadnezzar's favortie tune was "come on & light my fire" since he was enraged with anger toward the 3 Jews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.  How mad was he?
   He was so mad, so angry, in a fit of rage he demanded the furnace being exceeding hot NOW!  So, let us venture on.
  In Daniel 3:22-24 (click on link) the furnace was sooo hot that when the kings mighty men took the 3 Jews up to cast them in, they were killed by the extreme heat. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego fell into the midst of the fire.  Remember, they were bound and cast in.  How hot was the furnace.  It was so hot the men who came close enough to cast the 3 in burned, death almost instantly.  But what about the 3? Huh?
    What about the 3!  In verse 24 Nebuchadnezzar, pleased with himself for punishing these disobedient Jews, looked into the furnace.  Then suddenly he rose, amazed, and spoke.  He asked his counselors if he was correct in the fact they bound three men and cast them into the midst of the fire.  They answered him with "True, O king."
    At this point ole Neb cannot believe his eyes.  Do you know what he saw?  Love you all. See you on Monday.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
