In the midst of all the threats of attacks surfacing for the 4th of July, I sensed the Lord asking me a question. "Are you expecting the "fourth" man to show up on July "fourth? Remember My Son was the fourth man in the fiery furnace when the three Hebrew children were cast into the fire. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego . . . if they hadn't been thrown in the flames - who would remember their names?"

On Sept.11th the enemy as far as we know planned to hit three targets using three planes as bombs to bring America down with fire. I believe the number three is significant at this time. It was right after the THREE Hebrew children were cast into the fire that the "Fourth" man (JESUS) began to be revealed to King Nebuchadnezzar who commanded this hellish plan of destruction.

The King commanded first for the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than it was. The King raised the heat of the fire so hot that his own most mighty men were slain by the fire. I sense this is what's happening when we see terrorists being destroyed by fire themselves at the command of their king - Bin Laden.

Notice both kings got their servants to die for them in their attacks against God's people.

ENEMY TRYING TO DESTROY THE JEWS AND AMERICA FOR STANDING WITH THEM

------------------------------------

Again the enemy is trying to ultimately destroy God's people the Jews and America for taking a stand with Israel. .(New York City I believe has the greatest population of Jews in America and STILL does since the attack on New York City!) Hitler burned Jews in fiery furnaces to try to destroy them.

Fire is still the enemy's favorite weapon.

---------------------------------------------

GOD REVEALS HIMSELF IN THE FIRE OF THE ENEMY

---------------------------------------------

But fire is nothing new to God. He has always used the fire of the enemy to reveal Himself in! He still uses the wrath of man to praise Him! The Lord could have stopped the fire inside of the Hebrew's fiery furnace. But He wanted to show the world that His children had something better on their worst day than the enemy had on his best day!

God reveals Himself in fire!

Daniel 3:25 "The king 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!" I believe any attacks from now on-- the Kings of the earth are going to start seeing the "fourth" man - Jesus showing up in the midst of the fires of calamities. Notice it was the fire that actually burned up the things that had the Hebrew children bound. God uses enemy fire to free us and show Himself strong on our behalf. After that furnace experience the Hebrew children never feared fire again.

----------------------------

HIS EYES AS A FLAME OF FIRE

----------------------------

Rev. 1:14 "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire: 15: And His feet like unto fine brass , as if they BURNED IN A FURNACE!" John saw the feet of Jesus that confirmed He was the fourth man in the furnace fire with the Hebrew children! Jesus revealed Himself to John that He had walked through the fire with His people - and He is still walking with us.

Daniel 3:17 "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O King. 18: But if not, be it known unto thee, O King that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."

We can trust Him!
