It should be noted that what happened that day after Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed–nego made the following statement:
“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. But if not, be it known unto
thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods…” (Daniel 3:17 – 18)
At that point God the Father sent the Lord Jesus to place His Glory on Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed–nego. Thus, the Glory of God surrounded each of them in a
eighteen foot diameter and also the mighty men that picked them up to cast them into
the fire. The moment that these mighty men cast Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed–nego into the fiery furnace the Glory of God went with Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed–nego; thus the mighty men were no longer protected by God’s glory and
the flames of the fire slew those mighty men immediately.
For it is written in the gospel of John:
‘For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life
unto the world. Then said they unto him, ‘Lord, evermore give us this bread.’
And Jesus said unto them, ‘I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall
never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. But I said unto you,
That ye also have seen Me, and believe not. For I came down from heaven, not to
do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.’ The Jews then murmured at
Him, because He said, ‘I am the bread which came down from heaven.’ Jesus
therefore answered and said unto them, ‘Murmur not among yourselves. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. I am that
bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is
the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not
die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is My flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.’ (John 6:33 ̶ 35, 36, 38, 41, 43, 47 ̶ 51)
It should be noted that the Lord Jesus said, “…the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51) The Lord Jesus was actually
saying that My Bread or My Word that I will give is My Flesh. In that My Word is
my Flesh, and My Bread is my Flesh also. For it is written in John 6:63 that the Lord
Jesus also said, It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (Paraphrased) The Lord Jesus
was actually saying that My words are Spirit, and they are Life. In that if anyone
consumes My words or consumes my Bread or consumes My Flesh, because they
believe in Me, they will obtain eternal Life.
