Daniel 3- Day 847 (link to reading)
Scripture: Daniel 3:16-18 Commentary (jesusplusnothing.com): Daniel chapter 3 is a well known and well loved chapter in the Bible. It contains things we all like in a story... 90 foot idols, furious kings, fiery furnaces hot enough to kill people who are just passing by... That sort of thing. When we left our friends at the end of chapter two everything was going along very nicely thank you very much. Daniel and his three amigos Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were exalted to a position of privilege and power in Babylon. But unfortunately things have a habit of changing in this life. And so they did, for King Nebuchadnezzar decided to setup a golden image that was ninety foot high and nine foot wide! And what's worse, everyone is commanded to bow down and worship the image! Oh great! Now there are a couple of ways to take a passage such as this - personally and prophetically. While I'll focus more on the former, there are some really interesting prophetic implications of this chapter that will definitely be noted! Application: Even if our God does not save us, we will not bow down to your gods. These boys understood that our life here on earth is temporary. Hold on to the eternal and life will be simple. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me believe... Comments are closed.
