Amen. Good evening to you all. How you doing? That wasn't very convincing, but you can go ahead and sit down now, I guess.

Now glad you're here. Those of you joining us online, we're so glad that you are.

Really been looking forward to tonight, Daniel chapter three. It probably goes without saying

by the chapter before us tonight is among one of the most well known in all of Scripture.

And this for a number of very good reasons reasons chief of which is that there is just so

much in justice one chapter by way of its prophetic implication and also its

personal application.

I will do my best to not give you what I'll call scriptural whiplash going back and forth between the two,

but I don't want for us to miss the main takeaway.

So there's going to be, and we're going to pray in a moment, but there's going to be a

balance, a blend, I guess, for lack of a better term, between the two, which really are

harmonious in the sense that they are in

concert together one with the other meaning the prophetic implication in

concert with the personal application it's woven together it gels together it

blends together and goes together so I'll do do my best. We won't go back

and forth too much or too fast. So again, I don't give you whiplash. And if I do, I just

apologize in advance. But again, I don't want for us to miss this, namely that of knowing that by faith, God will deliver

you from that fiery trial you're in. But here's a thing. It may not be in the way that you think, or when you think,

or how you think. And that's the problem, isn't it? So let's pray and let's get right to it.

We've got a lot to get to if you would join with me.

Father, thank you so, so, so much.

Lord, there's so much here and I would just ask that the Holy Spirit would prompt me accordingly so that we don't leave
