Sermon

Daniel Chapter 3

*1.     **The Image was 90 feet tall and 9 feet wide. How did it not fall down? Imagine a person 10 feet tall but only 1 foot wide! That would be like a stick!*
*a.     *The dimensions of the image would be fitting for an obelisk, for it was *90 feet high* (about the height of a present-day eight-story building) and only *9 feet wide.*[1]
*b.    *Archeologists have uncovered a large square made of brick some six miles southeast of Babylon, which may have been the base for this image. Since this base is in the center of a wide plain, the image’s height would have been impressive[2]
*2.     **All the officials listed in KJV were 8 classes of officials. *
*a.     *The *satraps* were chief representatives of the king, the *prefects* were military commanders, and the *governors* were civil administrators. The *advisers* were counselors to those in governmental authority. The *treasurers* administered the funds of the kingdom, the *judges* were administrators of the law, and the *magistrates* passed judgment in keeping with the law. The *other provincial officials* were probably subordinates of the satraps. This list of officers probably included all who served in any official capacity under [3]
*b.    *Jeremiah 51:59 tells of a time when the last king of Judah was summoned to Babylon this may have been the same time! So kings of nations that were under the rule of Babylon were also a part of this.
*/Jeremiah 51:59/**/KJV/*
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And/ this/ Seraiah/ was/ a quiet prince. 
* *
*3.     **What was this image?*
*a.     *the Bible only says image it may have been an obelisk or it may have been human form nobody knows that isn’t really important.
*4.     **Why did Nebuchadnezzar demand them all to bow to this image?*
*a.     *to demand complete and unified rule of Babylon upon all nations
*b.    *to cause everyone to recognize Nebuchadnezzar as supreme ruler and supreme religious leader as well
*5.     **the Chaldeans accused the three Hebrew children why?*
*a.     *Why does a child become a “tattle tale”
*b.    *They were with Daniel in the earlier chapter when Daniel needed to pray to find the meaning of the Kings dream
*c.      *This was in hopes of weakening Daniel?
*6.     **Where was Daniel?*

Searching for Sermons & Illustrations

Basic Use

To perform a simple search for sermons and illustrations, type your search terms into the search box on the left and press enter. The sidebar will switch over to the search results tab and automatically load the first submission. To view more search results, simply scroll down. Additional results will automatically load into the bottom of the sidebar as you scroll.

hope
faith like a mustard seed

You can modify your search to only return results containing two or more of your terms by using the AND keyword. The OR keyword can be used to specify that you want results that may only match one of your terms. Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.

love AND patience
joy OR happiness
"walk with God"
joy AND "hard times"
(servant OR slave) AND (Jesus OR Christ)

Advanced Searches

Sermons.Logos.com also supports more advanced search syntax. Sermons are broken down into several sections, or fields:

author | The name of the contributor
title | The title of the submission
passage | Passages related to the submission
topic | Topics addressed by the submission, e.g.: forgiveness, marriage
tag | Tags attached to the submission, e.g.: men's retreat, Easter Sunday
type | 'sermon' or 'illustration'
language | The language the submission was written in, e.g.: en, es, ko
content | The full text of the submission

By default a search will look for matches in any field. You can also specify which field you want to search by inserting the name of the field directly before your search term.

title:faith
tag:"Father's day" AND type:illustration
topic:"John the Baptist"

Bible references are treated as special search terms. Sermons.Logos.com understands verse ranges, and will match submissions that contain any references within the range you specify, not just the exact reference. If you search for John 3:15-17, you will also get results with John 3:16. A Bible reference is specified by using angle brackets, such as <Eph 2:8>. If you forget to use the angle brackets in a simple query, don't worry, it will still be recognized as a Bible reference.

Genesis 1:1
<Eph 2:1-9>
passage:<Proverbs 3:5-6>
