The King and the Furnace - Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: In sixth century BC, Babylon was the preeminent power in the world, and this passage shows how they conquered Israel and deported the professional classes, including artisans, scholars, and government and military officers, in order to subjugate them through assimilation. This passage shows how Daniel and his three friends (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) confronted the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. What happened in that confrontation? In this sermon, we will see three things: 1) The pressure of pluralism; 2) The precision of true faith; and 3) The promises of suffering.
This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 21, 2011.

Thank you so much for adding the subtitles. I am not a native English speaker, so my mother struggles to understand Tim Keller, but the subtitles make it much easier for her. I understand it takes a lot to add the subtitle, but Please keep the subtitles coming as often as you can. God bless!

I happened to google Tim Keller after reading some of his books and found here and what a sermon. Recently I chose presbyterian for my belief and decide now to watch here every Sunday.

What an outstanding reading of God's Holy Word. Surely Chritian bliss is listening to this angel reading, the Word, followed by one of the best teachers ever expounding the Word. Praise God Almighty.

It seems, after having read a lot of the bible (I'd be willing to bet, more than most christains), that the bible is meant to convict us of God's perfect standard, and our infinite failure to meet it. I don't believe the bible is meant to encourage us to believe have an ability to meet it. I love Tim. He's been a decent teacher's assistant for me. But I really hope his intention is to lay out the bible's perfect standard, in an effort to prove we don't meet it... God came to convict the world of sin, not condemn it. We believe in His Son, and we're sinners no more, in the eyes of our Creator. Pride says "the bible teaches me how to obey God" I believe humility says "the bible teaches me that I can't obey God with my best efforts. But God is perfect and Holy, and died in my place".

Just curious, what is "a descent teacher's assistant" to you?

The furnace is a representation of God's wrath in the Day of Judgement. Christ covered the *3* in the furnace representing the 3 days in the tomb. Praise Jesus. OT events are not lessons for living, they point to Christ. Not a metaphor for trials or suffering.

You'll pay a great price for keeping people from hearing about the bible changes!

@@michaelbrickley2443 *What God has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!* *I'm 69, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I have an exceptional memory, I remember my 3rd birthday party and can draw a detailed picture of my baby stroller. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer a year and a half later, I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the Daniel 7:25 effect. That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws) We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!* *God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “write His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.* *God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in ( proof of bible change residue junkie )* 👈 *I've continued to study scripture by learning what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.* *_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this INCREDIBLE FAITH STRENGTHENER, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_* *P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to save people from hearing Jesus explain it to them at the Gate.* 🙏✝️💪
