WHO WAS THE ------ -----------
  FOURTH MAN
 IN THE FIRE?
[162.jpg]

   Over 2000 years ago there were three
Jews that would not bow down to the king's
golden images and gods.
"There are certain Jews whom thou hast set
over the affairs of the province of Babylon,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these
men, O king, have not regarded thee: they
serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden
image which thou hast set up."
  Daniel 3:12

These three men were not worshipping his
gods and images.   You see, they were wor-
shipping the true Lord -- the Lord that has
protected the children of Israel for thou-
sands of years.
  The king summoned these
three men and questioned them.
"Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them,
Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor
worship the golden image which I have set
up?"
Daniel 3:14

They replied no, and the king was infuriated
and sentenced them to be burned alive!
"Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and
the form of his visage was changed against
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: there-
fore he spake, and commanded that they
should heat the furnace one seven times
more than it was wont to be heated."

Daniel 3:19

He had a furnace stoked seven time hotter
than usual!   The fire was so hot that it burned
the men that threw them in the fire.
"Therefore because the king's command-
ment was urgent, and the furnace exceed-
ing hot, the flame of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego."
  Daniel 3:22

Now as the three stooped in the midst of the
fire, there appeared a FOURTH man on the
scene, in the fire with them.   As the king
looked intently in the fire, the king said, there
is a FOURTH man in the fire and his vesture is
that of the Son of God.
"He answered and said, Lo, 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

Now ask yourself three questions:

1. WHO IS THE SON OF GOD?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlast-
ing life."
  John 3:16

"But these are written, that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing ye might have life through his
name."
  John 20:31

2. WHAT DOES CHRIST MEAN?

It means the Messiah, the anointed of God.

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power: who went
about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him."
  Acts 10:38

"The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken
to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder
upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of
the earth; and he shall give strength unto his

king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
I Samuel 2:10

"He first findeth his own brother Simon, and
saith unto him, We have found the Messias,
which is, being interpreted, the Christ."

John 1:41

3. WHAT DO I DO?

Repent of your sins.
Believe on the Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ.
He shed His blood for our sins, He is our Yom
Kippur, our Atonement for sin.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.   For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed.   For there is no
difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that
call upon him.   For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Romans 10:9-13
