Bible Text: Daniel 3:1-7 Title: Golden Statue in the Plains of Dura
King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image and gathered all Babylonian officials to the inauguration ceremony.
He made them bow before him, but Daniel's three friends, because of their faith in the Lord,
I refused the order. As a result, he was punished by being thrown into the furnace,
Through God's supernatural work, we were saved and glorified God.
1. Nebuchadnezzar who made the golden image
1) Gold statue
King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image, which was very large.
The golden image, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, was the city of Babylon.
It was built on the plain of Dura. King Nebuchadnezzar erected the golden image of his own
To commemorate the expansion and conquest of power, and to realize the dream that was compared to gold.
Seems to. King Nebuchadnezzar erected a golden image, and
Many people came to the inauguration ceremony.
Those who were invited to the inauguration ceremony were the princes, the chieftains, the dobaeks, the judges, the treasurers,
A great inauguration ceremony was held with the counselors, the lawyers, and all the officials from each province.
will be Mostly, it was only those who came out of business, those who were in high positions.
a. Casting the Lord into a golden image (Exodus 20:22-24)
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel.
You have seen me speaking to you from heaven.
23 You shall not make me an image of silver or an image of gold for yourselves.
24 Build me an altar of earth, and offer your burnt offerings and peace offerings on it of your sheep and oxen.
I will come and bless you wherever I do my name.
b. God is detestable (Deuteronomy 7:25-26)
25 You shall burn their sculpted images, and you shall burn the silver or gold overlaid on them.
Do not covet and do not get drunk, lest you fall into a snare because of it.
For this is an abomination to the LORD your God.
26 Thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shalt be destroyed in the same way.
You are very reluctant to do it and hate it very much, for it will be destroyed.
2) The king who commands the worship of the golden god
King Nebuchadgezzar proclaimed it to all who took part in the inauguration of the golden image.
When you hear the sound of trumpets, flutes, harps, trebles, cymbals, live hummingbirds, and all musical instruments
He ordered them to bow down and bow down to the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
King Nebuchadnezzar believed that the golden image was a sign of his power and glory.
By having everyone bow down to the golden image,
He wanted to be worshiped. That is, King Nebuchadnezzar himself
It was to sit in the position of God and receive praise.
King Nebuchadnezzar said that anyone who does not bow down and worship is immediately burned to the brim.
He ordered them to be thrown into the furnace. It was a forced idolatry.
It was a good representation of the evil authority.
a. The furnace fire (Matthew 13:36-43)
36 Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came and said to us, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” 37 And he answered and said to them, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels. 40 So then as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the world. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will And he will bring out all the stumbling block from the kingdom, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. An idol worshiper who cannot rest (Rev 14:9-11)
9 Another angel, the third, followed after him, saying with a loud voice, If anyone
When he worships his idol and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of the wrath of God, without mixture in the cup of his wrath
They will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb, 11 the smoke of their afflictions will rise for ever and ever. Worship the beast and his image.
whoever receives the mark of his name will find no rest day or night c. Kill by burning (Jeremiah 29:22) All the captives of Judah that are in Babylon, you
Using them as a curse, they said, The LORD shall burn you, the king of Babylon.
I want you to be like Zedekiah and Ahab who you killed.”
Selected as the No. 1 target for the focus of Korean Islamic world missions.
The largest mosque and cultural center in Asia to be established in Songdo, Incheon (200,000 pyeong)
World-class Islamic University to be built in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do
By 2080, we will dedicate our lives up to the banner of global Islamization.
Global spread of Islamic fundamentalism
The cost of propagating Islam in one day by the Saudi Arabian government
Same as the annual mission budget of the American Southern Baptist Church
In the future, an event more terrifying than the incident that occurred in the text will occur in Korea.
Wake up and try to idolize.
But faith in Jesus overcomes the world. In today's case
Just as Daniel's three friends were victorious in the end, we too, through faith in Jesus
I believe you will win. Amen
