Fear God More Than Men
from Antichrist on SermonAudio Hosted by Dr. Dana Cline
The sermon concludes a study of Daniel chapter 3 by emphasizing that the primary outcome of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's faithfulness was the establishment of religious freedom for the Jewish people. It highlights the theological principle of civil disobedience, asserting that believers must choose to obey God over human authority when the two conflict, even at the cost of suffering. The text connects this historical event to the broader biblical theme that the natural man cannot comprehend spiritual truth without the Holy Spirit, using Nebuchadnezzar's failure to understand the divine revelation in chapter 2 as an example. Furthermore, the sermon draws a parallel between the king's attempt to force unity through a false image and the anticipated end-times scenario of the Antichrist, contrasting artificial human unity with the true, redeemed unity found in Christ. The message concludes with a call to trust in God's deliverance, viewing the fiery furnace as a picture of Christ bearing God's wrath so that believers may be saved and ultimately gathered together in heavenly worship.
