How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Shadrack, Meeschack, and Abedigo.

You've likely heard their names, but do you know the whole story? The true story?

Do you know there was a fourth man in that fiery furnace?

Who was he?

Welcome to Through the Bible, I'm Steve Schwartz.

We're in Daniel Chapter 3, verse 3.

But first, here's an introduction from our teacher,

Dr. J. Bernam-Magie.

Now, last time we concluded our study of that great image that Daniel saw and it was the dream of

Nabukinizer. He first saw it and Daniel probably dreamed the same dream and then was able to interpret it to this man.

It's an overview of world history and it'll be back before us again when we get to the seventh chapter of

Daniel in a different form however in the form of wild ferocious carnivorous beasts.

But here we have seen a tremendous picture

that spans all of the times of the Gentiles. We're living in that today. Now I have said repeatedly

that the church has been given no signs whatsoever.

It's been given a sound.

We are told that the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout.

May I say to you, we're listening for a voice. We're not actually

looking for signs. But definitely we're living in the times of the Gentiles and we're living at the time when the clay and the

iron are being mixed together and we're seeing today certain outward signs that make us believe that we

are moving close to the end because of the setting of a stage.
