These three men, once honored, and intrusted with great responsibilities, are now the objects of the wrath of a king whose will is law. Truly we can not trust in princes.ST May 6, 1897, par. 4

As the three Hebrews stood before the king in their moral dignity, innocence, and purity, he was convinced that they were superior to the men in his kingdom. They had always been faithful in the performance of their duties, and he decided that he would be gracious, and give them a second trial. "

The fact that these youth came forth from the fire having received no harm, save only that their fetters had been burned away, was beyond the comprehension of the wise men, and made a decided change in the sentiments of the people.

The tidings of this wonderful deliverance were carried to many countries by the representatives of the different nations.

Thus God was glorified by the faithfulness of his children.ST May 6, 1897, par. 13
HISTORY WILL BE REPEATED. FALSE RELIGION WILL BE EXALTED. The first day of the week(SUNDAY), a common working day, possessing no sanctity whatever, will be set up as was the image at Babylon.

All nations and tongues and peoples will be commanded to worship this spurious sabbath( REVELATION 13:15-16). This is Satan's plan to make of no account the day instituted by God, and given to the world as a memorial of creation.ST May 6, 1897, par. 14

The decree enforcing the worship of this day is to go forth to all the world. In a limited degree, it has already gone forth. In several places the civil power is speaking with the voice of a dragon, just as the heathen king spoke to the Hebrew captives.ST May 6, 1897, par. 15

Trial and persecution will come to all who, in obedience to the Word of God, refuse to worship this false sabbath. Force is the last resort of every false religion. At first it tries attraction, as the king of Babylon tried the power of music and outward show.

If these attractions, invented by men inspired by Satan, failed to make men worship the image, the hungry flames of the furnace were ready to consume them. So it will be now. The Papacy has exercised her power to compel men to obey her, and she will continue to do so.

We need the same spirit that was manifested by God's servants in the conflict with paganism. Giving an account of the treatment of the Christians by the emperor of Rome, Tertullian says, "We are thrown to the wild beasts to make us recant; we are burned in the flames; we are condemned to prisons and to mines; we are banished to islands,—such as Patmos,—and all have failed." So it was in the case of the three Hebrew worthies; their eye was single to the glory of God; their souls were steadfast; the power of the truth held them firmly to their allegiance to God.

It is in the power of God alone that we shall be enabled to be loyal to him.ST May 6, 1897, par. 16
"If ye love me," said Christ, "keep my commandments( JOHN 14:15)." "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him( JOHN 14:21)."

And has not Christ manifested himself to his faithful children? Did he not walk in the furnace with the captives who refused to yield to the golden image one tittle of the reverence which belonged to God? Did he not manifest himself to John, banished to the Isle of Patmos for his faithfulness? Have not those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, who, tho they have been compelled to suffer, have refused to worship the institution of the Papacy, realized the presence of the divine Comforter in their lonely prisons?ST May 6, 1897, par. 17

The commandments of finite, sinful men are to sink into insignificance beside the Word of the eternal God. Truth is to be obeyed at any cost, even tho gaping prisons, chain-gangs, and banishment stare us in the face.

If you are loyal and true, that God who walked with the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, who protected Daniel in the lions' den, who manifested himself to John on the lonely island, will go with you wherever you go.

His abiding presence will comfort and sustain you; and you will realize the fulfilment of the promise, ( JOHN 14:23)"If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." - ST May 6, 1897, par. 18
