<TITLE>13. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 And I can see the men with the spears, the intense heat was just about to get them, they was about to suffocate. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, kind of fainty-like, walking on up, hands tied behind them, going right into the fiery furnace, taking the last step of the way...
I can see them now, where they're just about... Let's dramatize this a little. I can see them where they're just about one step from going into the fiery furnace. The only person gets in a hurry is you and I. God takes His time. As long as He's promised it, that's good enough.
All right. I can see them right up there almost ready to step in the fiery furnace. And look, it looks pretty bad for believers there. There the old king set and said, "Well, we'll stop them holy-rollers around here now. We got it all under--the situation controlled now. As soon as they hit that fiery furnace, the rest of these guys will see that, they'll know that I'm boss around here."

L-61 But brother, there's another Boss sets up yonder in heaven Who knows all things. Let's turn our face towards Him now and see what He's doing. You know all the time, there's anything going on down here, there's something going on up there too. Did you know that? Let's look.
I can see Him setting on His throne, my, His great robes hanging around Him. I look, coming up to His right, here comes an Angel. You believe there's Angels in heaven? There's a great fellow come there with his sword drawed; his name is Gabriel.
He stood up before the Master, bowed his head, and said, "Master, I've tried to obey You ever since You created me. But have You looked down in Babylon this morning? We got three believers down there that absolutely are true genuine believers. And they're fixing to burn them up. Let me go down there. I'll change that scene." I believe He could've done it. Yes, sir.

L-62 I can hear the Master say, "Gabriel, you're true. You've been a real Angel. You've done everything I've told you to do since I created you. But put that sword back in the sheath. I can't let you go." And Gabriel sheathed his sword, stood attention at His side. Here comes another Angel. What's his name? Is that Wormwood? He'd got a control over all the waters.
He falls down before the Master. He says, "Master, have You looked down in Babylon? They're fixing to burn up three believers down there this morning, that's holding true to God's Word. Look at them. Why, I tell You, if You'll just let me go like You did when I--give me power to destroy the antediluvian world. I broke up all the springs of the deep and I sent a flood to destroy the whole world."

L-63 Woodworm in heaven, you know, has control of the waters. He said, "I'll go down there this morning and I'll wash Babylon off the face of the earth." I believe he could've done it. Amen. I sure do.
I can hear Him say, "Woodworm, you're a good Angel. You've obeyed Me ever since I created you. But I can't let you go."
But he said, "Lord, have You considered?"
"Yes. I've been watching them all night long." Amen. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Amen. Yes.
"I've watched them all night long. I heard them in the prayer meeting last night. I heard them when they prayed through and they struck heaven here, with their prayers. I'm watching them. I know when they got one more step to go. I been watching them all night long. I can't let you go because it's a man-size job. I'm going Myself." Amen. Hallelujah.
