WHAT IS YOUR FURNACE?

WHAT IS YOUR FURNACE?

THERE ARE MOMENTS IN LIFE, WHICH WE FIND LIKE SADRAQUE, MESAQUE AND ABEDENEGO AND WE NEED TO TAKE A POSITIONING. NO MORE TO RELEASE, PROTECT, SIDE. YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WILL REPERCER TO YOUR FUTURE IN THIS LIFE OR EVEN ETERNAL. YOUR VALUES WILL BE CONFRONTED, YOUR FAITH PROVEN, YOUR CHARACTER TESTED AND WHAT WILL YOU DECIDE?

DANIEL 3: 1-30

The statue of gold: the companions of Daniel in the furnace of burning fire

1 And the king Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits; and set it up in the field of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent together the princes, the prefects, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the captains, and all the officers of the provinces, to come to the consecration of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

3 And the princes, and the governors, and the captains, and the judges, and the treasurers, and the counselors, and all the officers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the consecration of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4 And the herald proclaimed with a loud voice: It is commanded to you, O peoples, nations and tongues:

5 When you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the harp, the sambuca, the psaltery, the bagpipe, and all kinds of music, you will bow down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar lifted up.

6 And whosoever will not bow down and worship not, it shall be cast into the midst of the furnace of burning fire.

7 And when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the harp, and the sambuca, and the psaltery, and all manner of music, all peoples and nations and tongues fell down, and worshiped a golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

8 And immediately certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

9 And they answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live forever!

10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, whereby every man that heard the sound of the trumpet, and the harp, and the sambuca, and the psaltery, and the bagpipe, and all manner of music, worshiped the golden statue;

11 And whosoever would not bow down and worship, he would be cast into the furnace of burning fire.

12 There are Jewish men whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not heeded thee; for thy gods do not serve, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in anger and wrath sent for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And they brought these men before the king.

14 And Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said unto them, Is it my purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that ye serve not my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

15 Now therefore, if ye be ready, when ye shall hear the sound of the horn, and the harp, and the sambuca, and the psaltery, and the bagpipe, and all manner of music, that ye may worship and worship the image which I have made , good it is; but if you do not worship her, you shall be cast into the furnace of burning fire at the same time. And who is the God who can deliver you out of my hands?

16 And Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, We have no need to answer thee concerning this matter.

17 Behold, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us; he will deliver us from the fiery furnace of fire, and from thy hand, O king.

18 And if not, let the king know that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the appearance of his countenance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. he said, and commanded the furnace to warm seven times more than it used to.

20 And he commanded the mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.

21 And these men were bound, clothed with their cloaks, their coats, and their hats, and other garments, and were cast into the midst of the fiery furnace.

22 And because the king's word was urgent, and the furnace was exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire slew the men that carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the furnace of burning fire.

24 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar was amazed, and rose up quickly; said to his counselors, Did not we cast three men bound in the fire? And they answered and said unto the king, It is true, O king.

25 And he answered and said, I see four men loose, walking in the fire, without suffering any harm; and the appearance of the fourth is like unto the Son of God.

26 And Nebuchadnezzar came to the gate of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, saying, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, go forth and come. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the midst of the fire.

27 And the princes, and the captains, and the rulers, and the king's counselors, and seeing these men, saw that the fire had no power over their bodies; not a single hair of his head had burned, nor their cloaks changed, nor the smell of fire had passed over them.

28 And Nebuchadnezzar spake, saying, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel, and delivered his servants, who trusted in him: for they violated the king's word, and preferred to give up their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship another god, but his God.

29 By me therefore a decree is made, whereby all the people, and a nation, and a tongue that speaketh blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other God (YHWH) who can deliver like this.

30 Then the king made Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego prosper in the province of Babylon.

DO NOT COMMIT THIS ERROR ...

DO NOT DENY TO JESUS ​​(YESHUA)

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:33

If anyone is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. "Mark 8:38
You publicly denied the Holy and Just and asked that a murderer be released. Acts of the Apostles 3:14

with him we too shall reign.
If we deny it,
he will also deny us; 2 Timothy 2:12

Luke 23: 33-43

The Crucifixion

(Mt 27: 33-44 Mark 15: 22-32 John 19: 17-27)
33 And when they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, and the evildoers, one on the right and one on the left.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided their garments, and cast lots.
35 And the people were watching. And the princes also mocked him, saying, He saved others, save himself, if he be the Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, and came to him, and offered him vinegar.
37 And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And over him was a title, written in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the evildoers that were hanged blasphemed him, saying, If thou be the Christ, save thyself, and us.
40 But the other answered and rebuked him, saying, Thou dost not yet fear God, being in the same condemnation?
41 And we, in truth, justly, because we have received what our deeds deserved; but this none evil did.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

MATTHEW 7: 13-23

13 Enter the narrow gate; because the gate is wide, and the way that leadeth to destruction is broad, and many are they that go in through it;
14 And because the gate is narrow and the way that leads to life is narrow, there are few that find it.
15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you dressed like sheep, but inwardly they are devouring wolves.
16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do they gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and every evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 The good tree can not bear bad fruit; nor the evil tree bear good fruit.
19 And every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord! He will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many shall say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And, in your name, we do not expel demons? and in thy name have we not done many wonders?
23 And I will openly tell them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

In the past false prophets have appeared in the midst of the people, just as false teachers will arise among you. These will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Sovereign who rescued them, bringing upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 Peter 2: 1

Who is the liar, but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist: he who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
