God! 04:02 God is the only one that is deserving of worship. 04:08 And so Daniel and his three friends 04:11 went about their business, 04:13 but they always remembered to do something. 04:17 What do you think it was that they always remember to do? 04:21 Pray. Pray. 04:22 That's something that we need to do 04:25 in good times and bad times, 04:27 and all the time because do we need God with us 04:31 all the time? 04:33 Yes. Yes. 04:34 I want Him with me all the time. 04:36 And so they prayed and they talked, 04:38 and they worked. 04:40 And they were hard workers. 04:42 They were always doing something. 04:44 They did their duty faithfully and they smiled. 04:48 Can you act like you're washing dishes 04:51 and give me a big smile? 04:53 Yes. 04:54 Well, wash dishes, now sweep the floor. 04:56 Yes, we'll sweep the floor. 04:59 Smile! 05:01 You're happy to be doing chores, right? 05:03 All day long. 05:05 They were happy to do the Lord's work. 05:08 The Lord is so wonderful and good, 05:10 and He blesses those that work hard for Him. 05:15 Well, time went on, and the king kept working. 05:19 Can you pound? 05:22 Kept working, and working, and working, 05:25 and making this statue, and working and working. 05:28 And finally it was almost through, 05:32 just had a little bit more to do. 05:33 And so the people worked harder, 05:35 they worked harder. 05:37 They wanted to get it done, 05:38 the king wanted it done right now. 05:41 And at last the image was done. 05:44 This huge, big image. 05:48 And it was so big, 05:49 he had to build it out in a big plain 05:52 where there was no other houses and things 05:54 'cause he wanted every single person in his kingdom to come. 06:00 All his wise men, he wanted all his magicians. 06:04 He wanted the people of different languages 06:08 to come together 06:09 because he wanted everybody to know 06:14 that he was the greatest. 06:17 Was he the greatest? 06:18 No! No. 06:20 He was not. 06:22 It's easy sometimes to get sidetracked 06:24 and think I am good. 06:27 Look at me. Look at me. 06:31 Just look at me. 06:33 I'm good. 06:35 I'm worthy of worship. 06:37 Is there any human that is worthy of worship? 06:41 No! No! 06:42 We need to stand for Jesus. 06:45 We need to be what He wants us to be. 06:48 So he sent a proclamation out 06:52 that every single person was to come 06:56 to this valley to worship the king. 06:59 He had his wise men 07:02 and his magicians and everybody was there. 07:06 And the king told them exactly 07:10 what he wanted them to do. 07:14 My dear people, you have been assembled 07:18 from all the provinces of Babylon. 07:21 You have come here to the Plain of Dura 07:24 to pay homage to the great golden image 07:28 that I have erected. 07:30 I, Nebuchadnezzar, 07:32 greatest monarch in the entire world. 07:36 Now, my dear people, 07:39 when you hear the sound of the music playing, 07:42 you must bow down to the image and by doing so, 07:47 give homage to me, 07:49 Nebuchadnezzar, King of all Babylon. 07:54 And if you do not bow down, 07:57 if by some reason you do not bow down, 08:01 you must know that we have prepared a fiery furnace 08:06 where you will be thrown. 08:09 So at the sound of the music, dear people, 08:12 bow down and worship the image. 08:17 The people then bowed. 08:18 Yes, of course they were going to bow down. 08:20 Do you think anybody 08:22 wanted to be thrown in the fiery furnace? 08:24 No! 08:26 Nobody wanted to be burned in the fiery furnace. 08:29 And they could tell that he had it going 08:32 and he meant what he said. 08:34 Do you think the king meant 08:35 that he was gonna throw somebody in the fiery furnace? 08:38 Yes! Yes! 08:40 And so everybody waited 08:43 and then they heard the music. 08:52 Bow the knee, quickly! 08:53 Oh, bow the knee! 08:54 Bow the knee! 08:56 Oh, everybody, bow the knee! 08:57 Oh! 09:08 Hey, wait. 09:11 I see three people 09:14 who are not bowing down to the image. 09:16 Guards, bring them before me. 09:19 Bring them before me, quickly. 09:25 Bring them over here before me. 09:32 Bring them over here. 09:37 Why? 09:39 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 09:43 how dare you not bow before my image? 09:46 You should know better. 09:48 I have given you positions of honor. 09:51 And now you have not honored me. 09:53 Why have you not bowed before my image? 09:58 We cannot bow before your image, my Lord. 10:01 We only worship the one true God. 10:03 It does not matter what you say. 10:06 Even if you give us many chances 10:07 we cannot bow down. 10:10 Preposterous! 10:15 Heat the oven seven times hotter! 10:19 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, go do it, Guards! 10:22 Keep that oven seven times hotter. 10:25 Do you understand it, if you refuse to bow down, 10:27 you will be burned in the fiery furnace? 10:30 Heat the oven seven times hotter! 10:32 Now throw them in! 10:35 Throw them in! 10:41 Oh, it must have been very hot. 10:51 Did we not throw three men into the furnace? 10:56 Yes, there were three. 10:57 Wasn't there three? Yes. 10:59 I assure you have thrown three. 11:00 And behold, I see a fourth. 11:04 And His likeness is unto the Son of God! 11:10 Oh, real God! 11:12 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, come out of the furnace! 11:24 You are unscathed, unburnt 11:28 and the smell of smoke is not even on your clothing. 11:32 And the ropes have been burned off, of your hands. 11:37 Truly, God is the Lord of all. 11:45 The king was so amazed, the people were so amazed. 11:48 They could not believe that such a great miracle 11:51 had happened to them. 11:52 That he told anybody that if they said anything, 11:56 if you say anything, 11:58 if you say anything against the God of Heaven, 12:01 your houses will be burned, 12:03 and you guys will, you all be killed. 12:05 Don't ever say anything against the God of Heaven. 12:09 All of you, do you understand? Yes. 12:11 And the king was so amazed. 12:16 And nobody, nobody dared to say a word 12:20 against the God of Heaven, 12:23 because they knew that if anybody did, 12:28 they would get thrown in the fire. 12:30 And do you think that if they had been thrown, 12:33 if somebody had said something against them, 12:37 and they were thrown in the fire, 12:38 would it burn them up? 12:40 Yes. 12:41 Yes, because the God of Heaven protects His children. 12:45 Don't you love how Jesus says, 12:48 He's always with us to the very end. 12:51 He'll never leave us. 12:53 He'll never forsake us, not even for a moment. 12:57 We can count on Jesus to be with us. 13:01 Where is He going to take us someday? 13:03 Where is He going to take us? 13:05 Heaven! To heaven. 13:07 Is He going to ride on a cloud to heaven? 13:10 Yes, we're going to ride 13:12 on a cloud to heaven with Jesus. 13:13 Do you want to go with Jesus? 13:15 Yes! 13:17 Do you want to spend eternity with Him? 13:18 Yes! 13:20 Boys and girls, 13:21 we want you to also be able to be there on that great day 13:24 when Jesus comes in the clouds of heaven. 13:27 We don't need to fear what happens down here 13:29 because Jesus Himself will take care of us. 13:33 Remember, boys and girls, 13:35 to read the scriptures and find the gems 13:38 that Jesus has for you. 13:39 See you next time on Bible Gems. 13:42 Bye!
