<TITLE>14. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 And when one time they wanted a drink, they went to the rock. When they wanted something to eat, they went down and a bunch of bees had a hive in there. In the rock there was a cleft. God stood in the cleft. The bees had their nest in the cleft. Anything they had need of, they went to the rock. And the Bible clearly teaches that Christ was that Rock that was in the wilderness.
If you're thirsty tonight, go to the Rock. If you want honey, sweetness, go to the Rock. If you want life, go to the Rock. If you want to believe God was in His Son, go to the Rock. He was in the Rock. Speak to the Rock, and It'll bring forth Its waters. There you are, God in His Son.

L-53 One day, there was some people down there trusting God's Word down in Babylon. Let's watch it just a few moments. And oh, I can see a great thing happening. There'd been an issue made, that anybody that went down there and begin to worship any other God, or didn't bow down to what the government said, would have to be throwed into a fiery furnace. There was three boys there, four of them, three of them mainly, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego. They decided they was not going to bow down to any image. They were going to serve the true God. They believed His Word. All right.
Notice. They found out that these boys, they wouldn't bow down. So they het the furnace according to the king's commandments, seven times hotter than it ever was het. Said, "We'll burn that religion out of them."
You can't burn the Holy Ghost out of a man. Why, It's fire Itself. You can't burn It. They took Brother John the Revelator, boiled him in a vat in--of grease for twenty-four hours. They thought he was a witch.

L-54 Some man came here at the temple, the other day, or the place, said, "Hey..." Brother started to give him a card down there, and he was laughing. Some of the ministers was telling me about it. Said, "It..." He said, "I come to get my fortune told."
Oh, my. They thought John was a--bewitched the grease. It wasn't John bewitching the grease; it was the Holy Ghost had him bound up. The grease couldn't burn him.
These Hebrew children believed God's Word. They said, "God is able to deliver us from the fiery furnace. But nevertheless, we're not bowing down to your image."
Oh, if we could just get some Shadrachs in this building.
Said, "I don't see no difference in you. Go over there and somebody prayed for you. I don't see no difference."
"You can say what you want to, but I'm not bowing down to your unbelief. I'm taking God at His Word." That's right. God's in His Word.

L-55 Let's notice this scene, being we started it just a moment. God help us for a minute now to see God, how He will reward. We get away from the subject just for a second.
I can see morning come. Let's dramatize this a moment. I can see the furnace. The skies look like turning black and red. That furnace was burning. I can see king Nebuchadnezzar set on his throne. Said, "We'll just burn up that bunch of holy-rollers out there and stop all this fuss." Step back out there, "We're getting tired of all this here carrying on around here anyhow."
All right. I can see them getting ready now to heat the furnace, bring out Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, bound their hands behind them. Three men with long spears begin to march them up, where they went up to the top of the cupola to drop in.
My, don't you think that when you take Christ as your Saviour, as your Healer, that the devil won't put the heat on you? He sure will. Yes, sir. Just watch him.
