<TITLE>05. Par 44-58</TITLE>L-44 Now, I can see down there, one morning. Let's--let's--let's turn our cameras down that way a minute, and watch and see. I can see them boys down there, one morning. They said, "Now look, the king said, 'Everybody that don't bow down, we're going to throw him in the fiery furnace."'
And they went and prayed through, one night. The next day, when the sound come that they'd bow before the image, why, they turned their back to it.
So he come around, said, "Boys, did you do that?"
"Yeah."
"Well, we'll heat the furnace up, seven times hotter than it ever was."

L-47 Now, isn't that strange? There was a gangplank laying out here, going up to the mouth of the furnace.
All over Babylon was red that morning, the fire roaring. I can see King Nebuchadnezzar, as a modern man today, he set out there and said, "Now, we'll just burn all of that Holy Ghost religion out of them guys."
Oh, yeah, don't you think the devil won't burn you. He sure will. But remember, the Holy Ghost is Fire Itself.

L-50 Now, want you to watch. God's way led right up that gangplank. I can see Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, walking the death march. I can hear Shadrach say, "Abednego, did you pray through?"
"Yep."
"All right, then."
"Are you sure you're in God's way?"
"Yes, sir. And God said in His Word for us not to bow to idols, and we won't do it. God is able to deliver us from this fiery furnace. But if He don't, what of it. We're not going to bow down. We're going God's provided way."
I can hear somebody say, "Are you sure you got His provided way?"
"Yes." Hallelujah.
Some say, "Well, don't you think all them people possibly could be right, instead of you?"
"No, sir. The Bible said so, and we're staying with It." Right up that gangplank they go. I can... The heat just so... The intense heat was almost... It did kill the men that brought them up.

L-55 They just about ready to step in. God hadn't said a word. They're still walking the provided way. Walked right up to the mouth of the furnace. Just about time they got ready to step into the fiery furnace... You know, I got an awful black picture here in front of me just now. Men that tries to live true to God, walk in God's provided way, fixing to be burnt up, what a picture...

L-56 Notice, all the time there is something going on down here, there is something going on up there, the same time. Let's look up there a little bit and see what goes on. I can see Him sitting there, and His princely robes around Him. Hallelujah. I can see, the first thing, coming from the right, a great big angel, called Michael. They got one up there. Did you know that? I can hear him run up there by the side of Him, say, "Master!" I can see him taking his sword out of his shield, like this, and say, "Have You looked down at Babylon this morning? There is men walking God's provided way. There's men who's willing to seal their testimony this morning. Our brethren is just about to be burned." I can hear Him say, "Let me go down there. I will change the picture." I believe He could've done it; I do.
I can hear Him say, "No, can't let you do it. Gabriel, You've been a... Or, Michael, You've been a very fine Angel. So put your sword back, stand at attention there."

L-58 Here comes another angel. He's called Wormwood; makes the waters bitter. Here he comes up, said, "Master, look down there. I've got all the control of the waters. You turned it over to me in the antediluvian destruction, and I washed the whole world away, all but Noah and his people. Now," He said, "let me go down there and I will wash Babylon off the map."
I can hear Him say, "Woodworm, you can do it, that's right, but I can't let you go. It's a man-size job." Ha, ha.
