5. “But
if
not,
be
it
known
to
you,
O
king,
that
we
will
not
serve
your
gods
or
worship
the
golden
image
that
you
have
set
up.”
6. And
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
sent
two
men
secretly
from
ShiHm
as
spies,
saying,
“Go,
view
the
land,
especially
Jericho.”
And
they
went
and
came
into
the
house
of
a
prosJtute
whose
name
was
Rahab
and
lodged
there.
And
it
was
told
to
the
king
of
Jericho,
“Behold,
men
of
Israel
have
come
here
tonight
to
search
out
the
land.”
Then
the
king
of
Jericho
sent
to
Rahab,
saying,
“Bring
out
the
men
who
have
come
to
you,
who
entered
your
house,
for
they
have
come
to
search
out
all
the
land.”

2:1-‐3

7. …for
all
have
sinned

“Truly,
truly,
I
say
to
you,

sin

8:34
(ESV)
9. 1. I
can
be
victorious
because
“there
is
a
God
in
heaven”
10. Then
Arioch
brought
in
Daniel
before
the
king
in
haste
and
said
thus
to
him:
“I
have
found
among
the
exiles
from
Judah
a
man
who
will
make
known
to
the
king
the
interpretaJon.”
The
king
declared
to
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
“Are
you
able
to
make
known
to
me
the
dream
that
I
have
seen
and
its
interpretaJon?”
11. Daniel
answered
the
king
and
said,
“No
wise
men,
enchanters,
magicians,
or
astrologers
can
show
to
the
king
the
mystery
that
the
king
has
asked,
but
there
is
a
God
in
heaven
who
reveals
mysteries,
and
he
has
made
known
to
King
Nebuchadnezzar
what
will
be
in
the
laSer
days.
Daniel
2:25-‐28
(ESV)
12. 1. I
can
be
victorious
because
“there
is
a
God
in
heaven”
2. I
can
be
victorious
because
my
God
“is
able
to
deliver”
13. Then
Nebuchadnezzar
in
furious
rage
commanded
that
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego
be
brought.
So
they
brought
these
men
before
the
king.
Nebuchadnezzar
answered
and
said
to
them,
“Is
it
true,
O
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego,
that
you
do
not
serve
my
gods
or
worship
the
golden
image
that
I
have
set
up?
Now
if
you
are
ready
when
you
hear
the
sound
of
the
horn,
pipe,
lyre,
trigon,
harp,
bagpipe,
and
every
kind
of
music,
to
fall
down
and
worship
the
image
that
I
have
made,
well
and
good.
But
if
you
do
not
worship,
you
shall
immediately
be
cast
into
a
burning
fiery
furnace.
And
who
is
the
god
who
will
deliver
you
out
of
my
hands?”
14. Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego
answered
and
said
to
the
king,
“O
Nebuchadnezzar,
we
have
no
need
to
answer
you
in
this
maSer.
If
this
be
so,
our
God
whom
we
serve
is
able
to
deliver
us
from
the
burning
fiery
furnace,
and
he
will
deliver
us
out
of
your
hand,
O
king.
But
if
not,
be
it
known
to
you,
O
king,
that
we
will
not
serve
your
gods
or
worship
the
golden
image
that
you
have
set
up.”
15. Then
Nebuchadnezzar
was
filled
with
fury,
and
the
expression
of
his
face
was
changed
against
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego.
He
ordered
the
furnace
heated
seven
Jmes
more
than
it
was
usually
heated.
And
he
ordered
some
of
the
mighty
men
of
his
army
to
bind
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego,
and
to
cast
them
into
the
burning
fiery
furnace.
Then
these
men
were
bound
in
their
cloaks,
their
tunics,
their
hats,
and
their
other
garments,
and
they
were
thrown
into
the
burning
fiery
furnace.
16. Because
the
king's
order
was
urgent
and
the
furnace
overheated,
the
flame
of
the
fire
killed
those
men
who
took
up
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego.
And
these
three
men,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego,
fell
bound
into
the
burning
fiery
furnace.
Daniel
3:13-‐23
(ESV)
17. Then
King
Nebuchadnezzar
was
astonished
and
rose
up
in
haste.
He
declared
to
his
counselors,
“Did
we
not
cast
three
men
bound
into
the
fire?”
They
answered
and
said
to
the
king,
“True,
O
king.”
He
answered
and
said,
“But
I
see
four
men
unbound,
walking
in
the
midst
of
the
fire,
and
they
are
not
hurt;
and
the
appearance
of
the
fourth
is
like
a
son
of
the
gods.”
18. Then
Nebuchadnezzar
came
near
to
the
door
of
the
burning
fiery
furnace;
he
declared,
“Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego,
servants
of
the
Most
High
God,
come
out,
and
come
here!”
Then
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego
came
out
from
the
fire.
And
the
satraps,
the
prefects,
the
governors,
and
the
king's
counselors
gathered
together
and
saw
that
the
fire
had
not
had
any
power
over
the
bodies
of
those
men.
The
hair
of
their
heads
was
not
singed,
their
cloaks
were
not
harmed,
and
no
smell
of
fire
had
come
upon
them.
19. Nebuchadnezzar
answered
and
said,
“Blessed
be
the
God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego,
who
has
sent
his
angel
and
delivered
his
servants,
who
trusted
in
him,
and
set
aside
the
king's
command,
and
yielded
up
their
bodies
rather
than
serve
and
worship
any
god
except
their
own
God…
Then
the
king
promoted
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
Daniel
3:24-‐28,

(ESV)
20. When
the
righteous
cry
for
help,
the
Lord
hears
and
delivers
them
out
of
all
their
troubles.
Psalm
34:17
(ESV)
21. 1. I
can
be
victorious
because
“there
is
a
God
in
heaven”
2. I
can
be
victorious
because
my
God
“is
able
to
deliver”
3. I
can
be
victorious
because
“my
God
sent”
22. Then,
at
break
of
day,
the
king
arose
and
went
in
haste
to
the
den
of
lions.
As
he
came
near
to
the
den
where
Daniel
was,
he
cried
out
in
a
tone
of
anguish.
The
king
declared
to
Daniel,
“O
Daniel,
servant
of
the
living
God,
has
your
God,
whom
you
serve
conJnually,
been
able
to
deliver
you
from
the
lions?”
Then
Daniel
said
to
the
king,
“O
king,
live
forever!
My
God
sent
his
angel
and
shut
the
lions'
mouths,
and
they
have
not
harmed
me,
because
I
was
found
blameless
before
him;
and
also
before
you,
O
king,
I
have
done
no
harm.”
23. Then
the
king
was
exceedingly
glad,
and
commanded
that
Daniel
be
taken
up
out
of
the
den.
So
Daniel
was
taken
up
out
of
the
den,
and
no
kind
of
harm
was
found
on
him,
because
he
had
trusted
in
his
God.

6:19-‐23
