Golden Image

Today’s Feast Sep. 11, 2014- Daniel 3 Golden Image clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” Exodus 20:4   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 3; “Nebuchadnezzar's golden image. (1-7) Shadrach and his companions refuse to worship it. (8-18)They are cast into a furnace, but are miraculously preserved. (19-27) Nebuchadnezzar gives glory to Jehovah. (28-30)   Verses 1-7 In the height of the image, about thirty yards, probably is included a pedestal, and most likely it was only covered with plates of gold, not a solid mass of that precious metal… By such methods, false worship has been set up and maintained. Verses 8-18 True devotion calms the spirit, quiets and softens it, but superstition and devotion to false gods inflame men's passions… We are to be meek in our replies, but we must be decided that we will obey God rather than man. Verses 19-27 Let Nebuchadnezzar heat his furnace as hot as he can, a few minutes will finish the torment of those cast into it; but hell-fire tortures, and yet does not kill…  Could we but see into the eternal world, we should behold the persecuted believer safe from the malice of his foes, while they are exposed to the wrath of God, and tormented in unquenchable fires. Verses 28-30 What God did for these his servants, would help to keep the Jews to their religion while in captivity, and to cure them of idolatry... He who preserved these pious Jews in the fiery furnace, is able to uphold us in the hour of temptation, and to keep us from falling into sin.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.  God uses King Nebuchadnezzar’s own edict to worship a golden image (see Daniel 3) to show him the true God; “29 Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way." 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.” Daniel 3:28-29 English Standard Version (ESV).  There is only one God (see John 14:6) and we must approach Him in Jesus name. Our help comes from the Lord; “1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? 2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 ESV. Who do you choose to serve?  There are only two choices (see Matthew 6:24) which one will you choose? Is Jesus calling you? Do you want to answer God’s call?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast is intended to encourage Saints to pray and read every word in the bible!  Let me know if you have any questions or comments, by replying here on the blog or in an email to mike@admenu.com.
