Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

He did not strike the king dead who commanded to cast them into the flames. Christ the Savior Himself came to be with them in the flames of destruction.<br><br>In this cosmic conflict between Christ and Satan, there are rules of engagement, and Christ cannot just do as He pleases in saving us. Therefore, Satan believed Christ was in an impossible checkmate position. Besides these rules of engagement, which Satan himself does not abide by, Christ is the defendant in this cosmic war, accused by Satan of not being consistent with His own law. This means that Christ is even more \u2018limited\u2019 in what and how He does things to save us. He\u2019s not limited by Satan as if Satan is more powerful than Him, but it is a self-limitation so that Satan can never accuse Him of being unfair in the context of His own justice and law (see Job 1 & 2).<br><br>We do not know all the intricate technical details of these rules of engagement or Christ\u2019s self-limitation in different contexts, but we can make certain observations and draw some conclusions. We can observe in Scripture that due to God\u2019s people\u2019s rebellion towards Christ and His law, because they have free will, the divine hedge of protection (Job 1:10) that is in place as they remained within the parameters of His law was no longer in effect, and therefore Jerusalem could be destroyed without Christ protecting it. It was \u2018open-season,\u2019 within limits posed by Christ (Job 1:12), for Satan to make war on the citizens of this city. Even those who did not partake in the rebellion were affected and suffered. Even Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were faithful, were taken into captivity.<br><br>We can therefore deduce from the captives taken that for a specific time, because of their corporate rebellion against Christ\u2019s law, that this hedge of protection could not be restored, and because of this, Christ could not just grab the faithful three from the flames.<br><br>Jeremiah 25:11\u201312<br>\u201cAnd this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD...\u201d<br><br>The Jewish people were to remain captives of Babylon under Satan\u2019s domain for seventy years because of their rebellion. In this time period, Christ was limited in how He could deal with His people and save them out of specific situations.<br><br>But Christ is the Sovereign Savior who can never be placed in a checkmate position. Coupled with this, Daniel\u2019s three friends prayed for deliverance as they were bound for the flames. Prayer presents Christ with the legal right to override some restrictions in this war, as the besieged soul surrenders its free will to Christ as Savior and thereby grants Him special permission in their life.<br><br>While Christ \u2018could not\u2019 stop the flames, He could be with them and have His presence protect them from the flames. Satan could not falsely accuse Christ within this cosmic conflict of overstepping His \u2018self-limited\u2019 boundaries in order to save His people. Jesus Christ is a Savior who will stop at nothing to come to our aid and be there for us! And Christ will overturn any checkmate position to God\u2019s greatest glory!<br><br>Isaiah 63:9<br>\u201cIn all their affliction he was afflicted, And the Angel of his presence saved them...\u201d<br><br>Jesus Christ is such a Savior that He is a Savior before you need a Savior. The Bible teaches us that before there was sin, there was a Savior. God is never caught off guard. This is the reason that Satan will never succeed in getting our Savior in a checkmate position, since He\u2019s our Savior who pledged His blood for us before the foundation of this world.<br><br>1 Peter 1:19\u201320<br>\u201cBut with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world...\u201d<br><br>From the beginning of this world\u2019s history, Satan has tried to invalidate Christ as Savior by putting the human race into a checkmate position where it would become technically impossible for Christ to save them without breaking the rules of engagement or His \u2018self-limitations\u2019, and thereby nullifying His law of love and fairness. At times, Satan tried to manipulate Christ to destroy humanity or give up on them completely. When Christ eventually came to this world taking on humanity, Satan not only tried to destroy Him from birth but also tried to subvert His mission as Savior by temptation and bribery in the desert, and fierce onslaughts throughout his ministry to somehow get Him to break God\u2019s law even once. If Christ were to disobey the divine law even once, even in the least, it would mean that not only would God\u2019s hedge of protection be broken around Christ, but He would prove to all the universe that the accusations of Satan were true when He charged God of His law being unfair, unjust, and too hard to obey. But Christ was obedient at all times to God\u2019s law (John 15:10), coming to destroy the works of Satan (1 John 3:8) in order to eventually destroy Satan himself (Hebrews 2:14). He came to die and save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).<br>","type":"paragraph","options":{"alignment":"start"},"value_raw":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"text":"Christ is Savior!
