Being Saved From

Isaiah 43:2b

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will  not set you ablaze.

Daniel 3:17

If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it , and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. --Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Daniel's friends didn't expect God to keep them from being thrown into the fire, but they trusted Him to save them from it and rescue them as they were in the fire, which is what actually happened. And Isaiah tells Israel that, even when they walk through the fire, they will not be burned; they don't need to be taken from it, they will be in the fire, but the flames will not set them ablaze. Just like what God did for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

And God will do the same for His children during the Tribulation and Great Tribulation--even though we may live through this most horrendous period of human history, we will not be affected by any of the judgments God inflicts upon the ungodly people. These evil people will harass and persecute us, and even behead us, but God's wrath will only be upon those who have rejected Him.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
