Matthew 24:21-2221. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to 

this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22. And except those days should be shortened, there should 

no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Psalm 83:1-81 Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; 

and those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty

counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They 

have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be 

remembered no more.” 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; they

form a confederacy against You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; 7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of 

Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot.

Genesis 16:9-12 (New Living Translation)9 The angel of the Lord said to her, 

“Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.” 10 Then he added, “I will give you more descendants than you can count.” 11 And the angel also said, “You

are now pregnant and will give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the 

Lord has heard your cry of distress. 12 This son of yours will be a wild man, as untamed as a wild donkey! He will raise

Page 13: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

his fist against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live in open hostility against all his relatives.”

then I will kill my brother Jacob."

these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives

Page 17: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

you, 2 and you return to the LORD your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have

Page 18: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you. 4 If any of you are 

driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will

 bring you. 5 Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more 

than your fathers.

them up!' And to the south, 'Do not keep them back!' Bring My sons from afar, And My 

daughters from the ends of the earth...

Jeremiah 49:2But the days are coming, "declares the LORD," when I will sound the battle cry 

against Rabbah of the Ammonites [Ammon, Jordan]; it will become a mound

Page 25: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out 

those who drove her out," says the LORD.

Page 26: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

Jeremiah 49:8Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you 

who live in Dedan [Saudi Arabia], for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish 

him [Southern Jordan].

Page 27: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

Jeremiah 49:19"Like a lion [confederacy of Esau] coming 

up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland [Israel], I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the

Page 28: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?"

Obadiah 1:15-1615 "The day of the LORD [Tribulation] is 

near for all nations [not yet happened]. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own 

head. 16 Just as you [Esau] drank

Page 30: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

[experience judgment] on my holy hill [Israel], so all the nations will drink 

continually; they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.

Page 31: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

Psalm 83:9-189 Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, 10 Who perished at En Dor, Who became 

as refuse on the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all

Page 32: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12 Who said, "Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession." 13 O 

my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind! 14 As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame

Page 33: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

sets the mountains on fire, 15 So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten 

them with Your storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your 

name, O LORD. 17 Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, 

Page 34: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

let them be put to shame and perish, 18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most 

High over all the earth.

you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your

Zechariah 12:1-61 The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who 

stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the 

spirit of man within him: 2 "Behold, I will

Page 52: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will

Page 53: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In 

that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse

of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, 

'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts, their God.' 6 "In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and

Page 55: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem 

shall be inhabited again in her own place--Jerusalem.

John 16:32-3332 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, 

each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the 

Father is with Me. 33 These things I have

Page 58: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the 

world."

Daniel Chapter 3 (New Living Translation)1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue 

ninety feet tall and nine feet wide* and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of 

Babylon. 2 Then he sent messages to the high officers, officials, governors, advisers, 

treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the

Page 60: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

provincial officials to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. 3 So all these 

officials* came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4 Then a herald shouted out, “People of all races and nations and languages, listen to the king’s command! 5 When you hear the sound

Page 61: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments,* bow to the 

ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue. 6 Anyone who refuses to obey will 

immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.” 7 So at the sound of the musical instruments,* all the people, whatever their race or nation or

Page 62: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

language, bowed to the ground and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 8 But some of the astrologers* went to the king and informed on the Jews. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 

10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue

Page 63: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical 

instruments. 11 That decree also states that those who refuse to obey must be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom 

you have put in charge of the province

Page 64: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set 

up.”13 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and 

Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to

Page 65: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? 15 I will give you one more chance to bow down 

and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments.* 

But if you refuse, you will be thrown

Page 66: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from 

my power?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If 

we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will

Page 67: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never 

serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.” The Blazing Furnace 

19 Nebuchadnezzar was so furious with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his

Page 68: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

face became distorted with rage. He commanded that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual. 20 Then he ordered 

some of the strongest men of his armyto bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 

21 So they tied them up and threw them into the

Page 69: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans, robes, and other garments. 22 And because the king, in his anger, had demanded such a hot fire in the furnace, the flames killed the 

soldiers as they threw the three men in. 23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely 

tied, fell into the roaring flames. 24 But

Page 70: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, 

“Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?” “Yes, Your Majesty, we 

certainly did,” they replied. 25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, 

unbound, walking around in the fire

Page 71: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god*!” 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming furnace and 

shouted: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and 

Abednego stepped out of the fire. 27 Then the

Page 72: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their 

heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of smoke! 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise to the 

God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He

Page 73: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king’s 

command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own 

God. 29 Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or 

language, speak a word against the God of

Page 74: “The Drum Beats Of War”  by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 24:21-22 Sunday Morning February 10, 2013

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble. There is no 

other god who can rescue like this!” 30 Thenthe king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the 

province of Babylon.
