Prepare For Crunch Time. Part [16] 06/11/2026 (Morning thought)

Daniel 3:21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

When the heat of the furnace is turned up several notches, will persons break and buckle under pressure? Crunch time, no doubt is going to produce one of two reactions in persons. It will either reveal sterling character that has been built upon the Rock Christ Jesus, or it would be made manifest that some folks are creatures of circumstance…. [The Great Controversy pp 604] Fearful is the issue to which the world is to be brought.

The powers of earth, uniting to war against the commandments of God, will decree that all, “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,” [Revelation 13:16.] shall conform to the customs of the church by the observance of the false sabbath. All who refuse compliance will be visited with civil penalties, and it will finally be declared that they are deserving of death. On the other hand, the law of God enjoining the Creator’s rest-day demands obedience, and threatens wrath against all who transgress its precepts.

With the issue thus clearly brought before him, whoever shall trample upon God’s law to obey a human enactment, receives the mark of the beast; he accepts the sign of allegiance to the power which he chooses to obey instead of God….It is in a crisis that true character is revealed, and that is why The Lord is sending us this wake-up call, to alert us to the urgency of the moment. Now is the time for us to live in readiness because all of the prophecies pertaining to crunch time are now being fulfilled, or will be fulfilled in the very near future.

Daniel 3:22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Prepare For Crunch Time. Part [15] 06/11/2026 (Evening thought)

Daniel 3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

In our day, a lot of pressure is being brought to bear against persons who refuse to bow down. And we’re facing an epidemic of bowers, who would do just about anything in violation of conscience, so as to survive. Persons are sacrificing principles, left, right and center, while others are turning a blind eye to evils that baffle even satan. Just for clarity, bowing down does not mean bowing down in the most literal sense.

It means bowing, by doing things against your conscience, things that are contrary to God’s clearly revealed will, because your arm has been twisted. So, the question for us crunch timers is: what will it take to make you bow down in order to access your economic privileges? Will you reason that the ends justify the means, if the end goal is to save your life. Or will we stand like the brave, with our face to the foe, by not bowing.

How much arm twisting can you endure, and do you have a threshold point after which you would break and buckle under the heavy load? We’re speaking of the crunch time like no other in the history of earth, when a radical form of godliness will be required of those who will survive the perils of the last days. Folks are losing their seats in the house, and senate at an alarming rate, and others now find themselves having to regroup, if they want to survive. But the question is: Does the end justify the means?

Daniel 3:20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
