Hey, campers,
welcome to Bible Gems.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
You all are going
to be working hard
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.37
just like our
characters from the Bible story.
00:00:04.40\00:00:07.94
Julie, Julie,
what are you doing?
00:00:07.97\00:00:10.54
I heard Aunty
Linda's going to be
00:00:10.57\00:00:12.41
talking about hard workers.
00:00:12.44\00:00:14.64
So I decided to grab my toolbox
00:00:14.68\00:00:16.95
and start fixing
things around here.
00:00:16.98\00:00:19.88
Okay.
00:00:19.91\00:00:21.25
Now, if I can just figure
out how this hammer works.
00:00:21.28\00:00:24.65
No, no, no, Julie.
00:00:24.69\00:00:26.35
That's not a hammer.
00:00:26.39\00:00:28.26
We're going to be
learning about Shadrach,
00:00:28.29\00:00:29.92
Meshach and Abednego
in just a little bit.
00:00:29.96\00:00:33.03
Julie, are you okay?
00:00:33.06\00:00:34.40
Yeah, I'm fine.
00:00:34.43\00:00:37.93
Anyways, our teams
00:00:37.97\00:00:39.43
and their refs are all
geared up and ready to...
00:00:39.47\00:00:43.47
Oh, man!
00:00:43.51\00:00:45.61
I don't think I'm
using my screwdriver right.
00:00:45.64\00:00:49.48
We're going to go clean up
00:00:49.51\00:00:50.85
while you guys go
find those Bible Gems.
00:00:50.88\00:00:52.85
See you soon.
00:00:52.88\00:00:54.22
Oh, what a lovely day.
00:01:15.97\00:01:17.51
Have you have you
guys seen Uncle Aron?
00:01:17.54\00:01:19.24
Have you seen Uncle Aron?
00:01:19.27\00:01:20.61
No, no. No.
00:01:20.64\00:01:22.04
Have you seen? Oh, there he is.
00:01:22.08\00:01:23.45
I'm right over here. Okay.
00:01:23.48\00:01:24.81
Oh, what do you have?
00:01:24.85\00:01:26.18
I've got an amazing
Bible Gem for you guys today.
00:01:26.21\00:01:27.72
Let me see.
00:01:27.75\00:01:29.08
Yeah? Wow!
00:01:29.12\00:01:30.99
Wow! Here you go.
00:01:31.02\00:01:32.85
How we go share with Miss JoDee?
00:01:32.89\00:01:34.56
All right, I'll do that.
00:01:34.59\00:01:35.96
Miss JoDee, do you think
00:01:35.99\00:01:37.33
you could have
a song about this?
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.89
Let me see, Linda.
00:01:38.93\00:01:40.60
Oh, Aunty
Linda, Yes, I think so.
00:01:40.63\00:01:44.37
Awesome.
00:01:44.40\00:01:45.73
Welcome, boys and girls.
00:01:45.77\00:01:47.34
We're so glad that you're here
00:01:47.37\00:01:49.80
and we just want to
welcome you to Bible Gems!
00:01:49.84\00:01:55.48
Come on and join us.
00:01:55.51\00:01:56.85
In God I have put my trust
00:01:56.88\00:02:01.82
In God I have put my trust
00:02:01.85\00:02:07.32
I will not be
afraid No not be afraid
00:02:07.36\00:02:14.10
What can man do to me
00:02:14.13\00:02:19.63
Psalm 56:11
00:02:19.67\00:02:25.67
Very nice.
00:02:25.71\00:02:27.98
Well, today we have
one of those special gems
00:02:28.01\00:02:31.48
that I'm really excited about.
00:02:31.51\00:02:34.82
King
Nebuchadnezzar, years had passed
00:02:34.85\00:02:38.52
since Daniel told
him about the dream,
00:02:38.55\00:02:41.19
but he couldn't get
the dream out of his mind.
00:02:41.22\00:02:44.59
He kept thinking, and
thinking, and thinking.
00:02:44.63\00:02:48.96
I know Daniel said that
I was only the head of gold
00:02:52.23\00:02:58.14
and then my kingdom
would come to an end,
00:02:58.17\00:02:59.84
but it can't come to an end.
00:02:59.87\00:03:03.01
My kingdom will go on forever.
00:03:03.04\00:03:06.78
I know what I'll do.
00:03:06.82\00:03:09.68
I'll build an
image just like my dream,
00:03:09.72\00:03:13.52
but instead of just
the head being gold,
00:03:13.56\00:03:15.76
the entire image will be gold.
00:03:15.79\00:03:18.06
Yes.
00:03:18.09\00:03:19.43
That's what I'll do.
00:03:19.46\00:03:22.10
So as the king thought
and thought about that,
00:03:22.13\00:03:25.07
he thought about
how great he was.
00:03:25.10\00:03:27.90
And he thought,
00:03:27.94\00:03:29.94
"I will make
this image all gold,
00:03:29.97\00:03:32.71
not just the head."
00:03:32.74\00:03:34.08
And so he had everyone
that he could pull together
00:03:34.11\00:03:37.51
and they were
working to make this image.
00:03:37.55\00:03:40.55
And it was big!
00:03:40.58\00:03:42.12
Oh, it was huge.
00:03:42.15\00:03:43.69
You had to look up to it.
00:03:43.72\00:03:45.39
You couldn't just
walk past and not see it.
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.09
It was always right
there for everyone to see.
00:03:48.12\00:03:53.40
Does God want us
to worship idols?
00:03:53.43\00:03:56.46
No. No.
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.20
Who are we only
suppose to worship?
00:03:58.23\00:04:00.64
God! God!
00:04:00.67\00:04:02.60
God is the only one
that is deserving of worship.
00:04:02.64\00:04:07.98
And so Daniel
and his three friends
00:04:08.01\00:04:11.75
went about their business,
00:04:11.78\00:04:13.52
but they always
remembered to do something.
00:04:13.55\00:04:17.12
What do you think it was
that they always remember to do?
00:04:17.15\00:04:21.29
Pray. Pray.
00:04:21.32\00:04:22.92
That's something
that we need to do
00:04:22.96\00:04:25.09
in good times and bad times,
00:04:25.13\00:04:27.60
and all the time
because do we need God with us
00:04:27.63\00:04:31.73
all the time?
00:04:31.77\00:04:33.17
Yes. Yes.
00:04:33.20\00:04:34.54
I want Him with me all the time.
00:04:34.57\00:04:36.20
And so they
prayed and they talked,
00:04:36.24\00:04:38.74
and they worked.
00:04:38.77\00:04:40.11
And they were hard workers.
00:04:40.14\00:04:42.18
They were
always doing something.
00:04:42.21\00:04:44.61
They did their duty
faithfully and they smiled.
00:04:44.65\00:04:48.48
Can you act like
you're washing dishes
00:04:48.52\00:04:51.72
and give me a big smile?
00:04:51.75\00:04:53.56
Yes.
00:04:53.59\00:04:54.92
Well, wash dishes,
now sweep the floor.
00:04:54.96\00:04:56.89
Yes, we'll sweep the floor.
00:04:56.93\00:04:59.79
Smile!
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.16
You're happy to be
doing chores, right?
00:05:01.20\00:05:03.67
All day long.
00:05:03.70\00:05:05.83
They were happy to
do the Lord's work.
00:05:05.87\00:05:08.84
The Lord is so
wonderful and good,
00:05:08.87\00:05:10.94
and He blesses those
that work hard for Him.
00:05:10.97\00:05:15.44
Well, time went on,
and the king kept working.
00:05:15.48\00:05:19.88
Can you pound?
00:05:19.91\00:05:22.68
Kept working, and
working, and working,
00:05:22.72\00:05:25.39
and making this statue,
and working and working.
00:05:25.42\00:05:28.86
And finally it
was almost through,
00:05:28.89\00:05:32.06
just had a
little bit more to do.
00:05:32.09\00:05:33.86
And so the people worked harder,
00:05:33.90\00:05:35.83
they worked harder.
00:05:35.86\00:05:37.20
They wanted to get it done,
00:05:37.23\00:05:38.57
the king wanted
it done right now.
00:05:38.60\00:05:41.00
And at last the image was done.
00:05:41.04\00:05:44.87
This huge, big image.
00:05:44.91\00:05:48.21
And it was so big,
00:05:48.24\00:05:49.64
he had to build
it out in a big plain
00:05:49.68\00:05:52.15
where there was no
other houses and things
00:05:52.18\00:05:54.02
'cause he wanted every single
person in his kingdom to come.
00:05:54.05\00:06:00.26
All his wise men, he
wanted all his magicians.
00:06:00.29\00:06:04.86
He wanted the people
of different languages
00:06:04.89\00:06:08.46
to come together
00:06:08.50\00:06:09.83
because he
wanted everybody to know
00:06:09.86\00:06:14.47
that he was the greatest.
00:06:14.50\00:06:17.47
Was he the greatest?
00:06:17.51\00:06:18.94
No! No.
00:06:18.97\00:06:20.41
He was not.
00:06:20.44\00:06:22.18
It's easy
sometimes to get sidetracked
00:06:22.21\00:06:24.58
and think I am good.
00:06:24.61\00:06:27.92
Look at me. Look at me.
00:06:27.95\00:06:31.75
Just look at me.
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.69
I'm good.
00:06:33.72\00:06:35.92
I'm worthy of worship.
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.93
Is there any human
that is worthy of worship?
00:06:37.96\00:06:41.00
No! No!
00:06:41.03\00:06:42.40
We need to stand for Jesus.
00:06:42.43\00:06:45.20
We need to be
what He wants us to be.
00:06:45.23\00:06:48.30
So he sent a proclamation out
00:06:48.34\00:06:52.37
that every single
person was to come
00:06:52.41\00:06:56.41
to this valley
to worship the king.
00:06:56.44\00:06:59.25
He had his wise men
00:06:59.28\00:07:02.08
and his magicians
and everybody was there.
00:07:02.12\00:07:06.25
And the king told them exactly
00:07:06.29\00:07:09.99
what he wanted them to do.
00:07:10.03\00:07:14.13
My dear people,
you have been assembled
00:07:14.16\00:07:17.97
from all the
provinces of Babylon.
00:07:18.00\00:07:21.40
You have come here
to the Plain of Dura
00:07:21.44\00:07:24.87
to pay homage to
the great golden image
00:07:24.91\00:07:28.94
that I have erected.
00:07:28.98\00:07:30.35
I, Nebuchadnezzar,
00:07:30.38\00:07:32.71
greatest monarch
in the entire world.
00:07:32.75\00:07:36.79
Now, my dear people,
00:07:36.82\00:07:39.12
when you hear the
sound of the music playing,
00:07:39.15\00:07:42.79
you must bow down to
the image and by doing so,
00:07:42.82\00:07:47.53
give homage to me,
00:07:47.56\00:07:49.73
Nebuchadnezzar,
King of all Babylon.
00:07:49.76\00:07:54.90
And if you do not bow down,
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.81
if by some reason
you do not bow down,
00:07:57.84\00:08:01.88
you must know that we
have prepared a fiery furnace
00:08:01.91\00:08:06.82
where you will be thrown.
00:08:06.85\00:08:09.22
So at the sound of
the music, dear people,
00:08:09.25\00:08:12.25
bow down and worship the image.
00:08:12.29\00:08:15.86
The people then bowed.
00:08:17.53\00:08:18.93
Yes, of course they
were going to bow down.
00:08:18.96\00:08:20.86
Do you think anybody
00:08:20.90\00:08:22.23
wanted to be thrown
in the fiery furnace?
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.20
No!
00:08:24.23\00:08:26.43
Nobody wanted to be
burned in the fiery furnace.
00:08:26.47\00:08:29.87
And they could tell
that he had it going
00:08:29.90\00:08:32.61
and he meant what he said.
00:08:32.64\00:08:34.48
Do you think the king meant
00:08:34.51\00:08:35.84
that he was gonna throw
somebody in the fiery furnace?
00:08:35.88\00:08:38.31
Yes! Yes!
00:08:38.35\00:08:40.08
And so everybody waited
00:08:40.12\00:08:43.59
and then they heard the music.
00:08:43.62\00:08:45.45
Bow the knee, quickly!
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.50
Oh, bow the knee!
00:08:53.53\00:08:54.86
Bow the knee!
00:08:54.90\00:08:56.23
Oh, everybody, bow the knee!
00:08:56.26\00:08:57.73
Oh!
00:08:57.77\00:08:59.10
Hey, wait.
00:09:08.01\00:09:11.38
I see three people
00:09:11.41\00:09:14.12
who are not
bowing down to the image.
00:09:14.15\00:09:16.85
Guards, bring them before me.
00:09:16.89\00:09:19.89
Bring them before me, quickly.
00:09:19.92\00:09:22.29
Bring them over here before me.
00:09:25.49\00:09:27.43
Bring them over here.
00:09:32.37\00:09:33.77
Why?
00:09:37.47\00:09:39.64
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,
00:09:39.67\00:09:43.18
how dare you not
bow before my image?
00:09:43.21\00:09:46.82
You should know better.
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.38
I have given you
positions of honor.
00:09:48.42\00:09:51.39
And now you have not honored me.
00:09:51.42\00:09:53.69
Why have you not
bowed before my image?
00:09:53.72\00:09:58.79
We cannot bow
before your image, my Lord.
00:09:58.83\00:10:01.13
We only worship
the one true God.
00:10:01.16\00:10:03.93
It does not matter what you say.
00:10:03.97\00:10:06.23
Even if you give us many chances
00:10:06.27\00:10:07.94
we cannot bow down.
00:10:07.97\00:10:10.14
Preposterous!
00:10:10.17\00:10:11.51
Heat the oven
seven times hotter!
00:10:15.01\00:10:19.18
Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego, go do it, Guards!
00:10:19.21\00:10:22.32
Keep that oven
seven times hotter.
00:10:22.35\00:10:25.22
Do you understand it,
if you refuse to bow down,
00:10:25.25\00:10:27.72
you will be burned
in the fiery furnace?
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.23
Heat the oven
seven times hotter!
00:10:30.26\00:10:32.89
Now throw them in!
00:10:32.93\00:10:35.26
Throw them in!
00:10:35.30\00:10:36.63
Oh, it must have been very hot.
00:10:41.10\00:10:43.84
Did we not throw
three men into the furnace?
00:10:51.71\00:10:56.45
Yes, there were three.
00:10:56.48\00:10:57.82
Wasn't there three? Yes.
00:10:57.85\00:10:59.19
I assure you have thrown three.
00:10:59.22\00:11:00.66
And behold, I see a fourth.
00:11:00.69\00:11:04.66
And His likeness is
unto the Son of God!
00:11:04.69\00:11:10.37
Oh, real God!
00:11:10.40\00:11:12.20
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,
come out of the furnace!
00:11:12.23\00:11:17.51
You are unscathed, unburnt
00:11:24.08\00:11:28.45
and the smell of smoke is
not even on your clothing.
00:11:28.48\00:11:32.82
And the ropes have been
burned off, of your hands.
00:11:32.85\00:11:37.39
Truly, God is the Lord of all.
00:11:37.43\00:11:41.13
The king was so amazed,
the people were so amazed.
00:11:45.03\00:11:48.67
They could not believe
that such a great miracle
00:11:48.70\00:11:51.07
had happened to them.
00:11:51.11\00:11:52.74
That he told anybody
that if they said anything,
00:11:52.77\00:11:56.71
if you say anything,
00:11:56.75\00:11:58.25
if you say anything
against the God of Heaven,
00:11:58.28\00:12:01.42
your houses will be burned,
00:12:01.45\00:12:03.72
and you guys
will, you all be killed.
00:12:03.75\00:12:05.89
Don't ever say anything
against the God of Heaven.
00:12:05.92\00:12:09.66
All of you, do
you understand? Yes.
00:12:09.69\00:12:11.93
And the king was so amazed.
00:12:11.96\00:12:16.16
And nobody, nobody
dared to say a word
00:12:16.20\00:12:20.64
against the God of Heaven,
00:12:20.67\00:12:23.20
because they knew
that if anybody did,
00:12:23.24\00:12:27.98
they would get
thrown in the fire.
00:12:28.01\00:12:30.15
And do you think that
if they had been thrown,
00:12:30.18\00:12:33.68
if somebody had said
something against them,
00:12:33.72\00:12:37.55
and they were
thrown in the fire,
00:12:37.59\00:12:38.92
would it burn them up?
00:12:38.95\00:12:40.29
Yes.
00:12:40.32\00:12:41.66
Yes, because the God of
Heaven protects His children.
00:12:41.69\00:12:45.79
Don't you love how Jesus says,
00:12:45.83\00:12:48.73
He's always with
us to the very end.
00:12:48.76\00:12:51.57
He'll never leave us.
00:12:51.60\00:12:53.27
He'll never forsake
us, not even for a moment.
00:12:53.30\00:12:57.57
We can count on
Jesus to be with us.
00:12:57.61\00:13:01.34
Where is He going
to take us someday?
00:13:01.38\00:13:03.95
Where is He going to take us?
00:13:03.98\00:13:05.91
Heaven! To heaven.
00:13:05.95\00:13:07.32
Is He going to ride
on a cloud to heaven?
00:13:07.35\00:13:10.75
Yes, we're going to ride
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.12
on a cloud to heaven with Jesus.
00:13:12.15\00:13:13.86
Do you want to go with Jesus?
00:13:13.89\00:13:15.69
Yes!
00:13:15.72\00:13:17.06
Do you want to
spend eternity with Him?
00:13:17.09\00:13:18.59
Yes!
00:13:18.63\00:13:19.96
Boys and girls,
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.33
we want you to also be able
to be there on that great day
00:13:21.36\00:13:24.67
when Jesus comes in
the clouds of heaven.
00:13:24.70\00:13:27.24
We don't need to fear
what happens down here
00:13:27.27\00:13:29.67
because Jesus
Himself will take care of us.
00:13:29.70\00:13:33.07
Remember, boys and girls,
00:13:33.11\00:13:35.44
to read the
scriptures and find the gems
00:13:35.48\00:13:38.21
that Jesus has for you.
