BOWING TO BABYLON- HISTORY WILL BE REPEATED.
Please share this lesson with your family, friends, Facebook pages, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
King Nebuchadnezzar gave the signal, and as the music from a thousand instruments began to swell, the curtain fell, exposing a dazzling, 90-foot image of gold glimmering in the sunlight. Then, according to King's command, all the officials who had gathered on the plain of Dura fell prostrate to the ground in devout worship. All bowed down except three young Hebrew men, who were servants of a greater King.
Nebuchadnezzar was beaming with pride and satisfaction until it was reported that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had refused to bow and worship his image. Astonished that anyone would dare to disobey, Nebuchadnezzar assumed these young advisers must have misunderstood his decree.
So he offered them one more chance to bow down but they refused! Now the king's expression turned to rage. He ordered his soldiers to heat the nearby furnace seven times hotter than normal. As fuel was piled onto the fire, the three men were firmly tied with ropes. The resulting heat was so intense that it killed the soldiers who threw them into the blazing inferno.
As the king peered into the roaring furnace, his mouth suddenly fell open. With a trembling voice he asked, "Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" His counselors agreed that they had. Then the king said, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." Daniel 3:25.
God delivered those brave young men in the fiery furnace because they stood up for His truth. In the last days, God's people will have to face a similar test.
HOW DOES OUR STORY IN DANIEL 3 RELATE TO REVELATION??
Revelation 13:15. As many as would not WORSHIP the image of the beast should be killed.
NOTE:
In the last days, God's people will be forced once again to worship contrary to conscience or be slain. They will have to choose between obeying the law of God or the laws of man.
The final issue involves a false allegiance to the beast power, so often referred to in Bible prophecy. At last, the world shall stand divided into two great camps: those who worship the true God, (on His Seventh-day Sabbath), and those who worship the beast ( on the first day of the week) of Revelation 13.
But what issue leads to this massive division of the world’s people?
After describing the fate of the false worshipers in Revelation 14:9-11, John has this to say in the very next verse: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” We see here a startling contrast between those who follow the beast and those who follow the Lamb.
Please note that the issue revolves around the keeping of God’s commandments. Including the fourth Commandment that tells us to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath holy.
Those who do not have the mark of the beast are described as obedient to those commandments, and the rest suffer the wrath of God.
This agrees perfectly with Paul’s statement in Romans 6:16, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
The highest allegiance is accorded through the act of obedience. At last, the majority of earth’s inhabitants will accept the authority of an antichrist counterfeit power, in disobedience to God’s great ten commandment laws. Every individual will be on one side or the other. The Bible makes it very clear that life or death revolves around the final decision concerning the beast of Revelation 13.
The mark of the beast, then, is the counterfeit Sabbath (Sunday) by which the beast power is trying to be recognized as an authority greater than the Creator Himself. The sign, or seal, of God’s authority (The Seventh Day Sabbath) is displaced by the papal institution of a substitute mark (Sunday the first day of the week) that she claims as her authority. Oh, that the world would see clearly the tremendous issue before us today!
To whom will we yield our obedience—to God or to the beast?
When we understand the issues we must make a tremendous decision either to keep the true Seventh-Day Sabbath and recognize God’s authority, or to take the false Sabbath (Sunday) and recognize the Catholic Church’s claims. We must finally receive the seal of God or the mark of the beast. There are only two sides—GOD and the DRAGON, TRUTH and ERROR, BIBLE and TRADITION.
