In the Spirit's Power - William W. Prescott

to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and
spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
ye servants of the most high God, come
forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego came forth of the midst of the fire.
And the princes, governors, and captains, and
king’s counsellors, being gathered together saw
these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no
power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither
were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had
passed on them.”
The Lesson
What was the lesson in this for the king? God
was saying to Nebuchadnezzar, “You are out of
your place. You are My servant; I gave you
authority, but not to exercise in My realm. Any
command you give contrary to My commands, I
will bring it to confusion.” And the lesson is for us
in this day. When Caesar gets out of his place, and
steps across the line that divides things civil from
things moral, God says, “Get back into your place.”
