Hey, hey, how is everyone tonight? We have a great show for you, perhaps
one of our best. So let’s get started. Everyone give a hand for our
king, Nebuchadnezzar! |

|
| Host |
Welcome O king. Thank you for joining us tonight. |
| |
|
| King |
My pleasure, what a miraculous story. That fire was… |
| |
|
| Host |
Hold on O king, we’ll get to the story soon, but first let’s
welcome our other guests. Everyone, please give a hand for Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego! |

| Host |
Great! Let’s see now, we have one, two, three, and four. Wonderful,
all four guests are here. So my first question goes to our king. How did
this whole amazing event get started? |
| |
|
| King |
It started about three weeks ago. I built a large image of gold. It was
about 90 feet high, and about 9 feet wide... |
| |
|
| Host |
Hold on king. You said 90 feet tall? Wow, that’s tall! Oh, sorry,
go on. |
| |
|
| King |
Well, as I said, I built an image of gold. Then I made it a law that whenever
the people heard the sound of horns, flutes and harps together, they must
bow down and worship the image, or else be thrown into the fiery furnace. |
| |
|
| Host |
Shadrach, what happened next?” |
| |
|
| Shadrach |
Well, sure enough, we heard the sound of the horns, flutes and harps,
but my friends and I refused to bow down to the image.” |
| |
|
| Audience |
“Boos, awes and shameful noises” |
| |
|
| King |
I know! I know! That’s why I had the furnace heated up seven times
hotter! |
| |
|
| Host |
Seven times hotter! You said seven? Wow, if it were that hot, you couldn’t
even open the furnace door without being burnt to a crisp! |
| |
|
| Meshach |
Very true. In fact, the servants who threw us into the furnace were burnt
up and died |
| |
|
| Host |
Get out of town! So what happened to the three of you? |
| |
|
| Abendego |
First we were bound up, and then thrown into the fire. But even though
the fire was so hot, we knew our God would be with us. |
| |
|
| King |
Then I saw an amazing thing. Instead of three people in the fire, I saw
four. |
| |
|
| Host |
Four! You said Four? How could that be when only three men were thrown
into the fire? |
| |
|
| Shadrach |
We were not alone. As Abendego said, we knew our God would truly be with
us because of our obedience. |
| |
|
| Host |
What do you mean because of your obedience? |
| |
|
| Shadrach |
Only God is worthy of our praise and worship. It would be wrong to worship
anyone or anything else. It was important for us to obey God in this matter,
and worship Him only, even though we all could have died. |
| |
|
| Host |
But you didn’t die did you? |
| |
|
| Meshach |
Well no! Else how could we be here now? |
| |
|
| Audience |
"ha ha ha and Laughter" |
| |
|
| Meshach |
The next thing we heard was the king calling: ‘Shadrach, Meshach
and Abendego, servants of the most high God, come out and come here. So
we did. |
| |
|
| Abendego |
Not a hair on our heads were singed. We didn’t even smell like smoke
after we came out. |
| |
|
| Audience |
“Wows and awes” |
| |
|
| King |
It was truly amazing. So I made a new law that anyone who speaks against
the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego would be killed, because there
is no other God who can save people like that.” |
| |
|
| Host |
Well, we are out of time for tonight. I truly want to thank our guests
for this amazing story. So remember the number 1. It is an important number
because as we found out tonight, there is only one true God, and we must
worship only Him. Goodnight! |
