https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 80 DANIEL – PART II - 4 Daniel 2:1 - 4:25 Okay, good to have everybody back from your break time. We’ll get right back to where we left off in Daniel. But again, I always like to welcome our television audience. My goodness, I don’t want to forget that they are out there, because they are so faithful and the letters are so encouraging. And we just praise the Lord every day. My, when we were in Florida, we had dinner after church on Sunday with a couple who were “snowbirds”. They had come out of a dead religion. My, how excited. You just can’t image how excited people can get when they finally find the truth of the Word of God. And to think that we’re a part of it is mind-boggling. So, that’s why we always appreciate everybody’s prayers. Not just for us personally, but for our listening audience—that we’ll get “Lydia’s”. And every once in a while we get a letter—I’m one of your Lydia’s—that’s what we love to hear—“whose heart the Lord opened.” They’ve listened to what we said and choose right. Because it’s still a choice, you know. You can choose to reject it or to believe it. All right, let’s come back to where we left off in verse 26. Is that right? Chapter 3 verse 26, I don’t know what I’d do without my front row. They’re the ones that kind of keep me up to par. Daniel chapter 3 verse 26, and here we have Nebuchadnezzar, again, aghast that these three young Jewish lads have survived that heated furnace. Now, I suppose the scoffer says this is just legend. But no, it’s not. The God in the Old Testament did the miraculous and all for our learning. After all, God is the same, but He’s not working in those kinds of miraculous ways. Because you see, we have the Book. This is the miracle in itself. That we have everything we need right here between two covers. So all these things, as Paul said, were written for our learning. And I think I made my point in the last half hour, that this is all a preview of the Nation of Israel going through the horrors of the Tribulation, the fires that are still coming. And I appreciate when people come up and share things with me. I just had one of our listeners share at break time where he was witness to one of the tests of our nuclear bombs back in 1950, and how horrendous that was. Then imagine what they are now. Because see, they don’t quit. They don’t quit improving, improving, improving. I know. I read a book sometime back that was pretty much the life of these Ph.D.’s—young, sharp scientists out there in our laboratories working on these weapons of mass destruction. And they’re just constantly refining them. And like he said, where they had detonated, everything, the steel towers, the mock villages, and everything were totally reduced to ash. Well, that was in 1950! Can you imagine what they’re doing today? So, when I speak of the Tribulation days and the earth being reduced to rubble—with over 2,000 of those now in warehouses around the world, why, they could destroy this earth twice over. And we know it’s coming. It’s going to have to happen, because God is yet going to bring in that glorious Kingdom, which will be like the Garden of Eden. All right, but back to Daniel now: Daniel 3:26 “Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, (Now he’s making a little headway, isn’t he? He’s not there yet, but he’s not referring so much to his pagan gods. But now he’s recognizing that the God of the Jews is the most high God.) come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire.” Daniel 3:27 “And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, (The fire never touched them.) nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.” Miraculous? Absolutely! It just shows us, again, what our God is able to do. You know, I’m constantly aware—because you see, as I mentioned in one of our previous tapings, the most popular books the last twelve months in America, three of them in particular, sold by the millions. And all three of them were authored by atheists ridiculing the concept of God. So, I have to come back with the opposite approach. Our God is still the One who created this universe. And all you have to do is on a clear night, go out away from a lot of light and look at the sky. And then remind yourself that you’re only seeing just one little particle of the whole, and God’s in control of all of it. He can do whatever He wants with it. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
