"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. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will NOT serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." (Dan 3:17,18)
...you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, (1 Thess. 1:9)

A silversmith named DEMETRIUS, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in no little business for the craftsmen. He called them together, along with the workmen in related trades, and said: "Men, you know we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all. (Acts 19:24-26)
ALEXANDER the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done. You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message. (2 Tim 4:14,15)
I wrote to the church, but DIOTREPHES, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us. So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. (3 John 1:9,10)
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: "Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words. For this is what Amos is saying: "'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their native land.'" Then AMAZIAH said to Amos, "Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom." (Amos 7:10-13)
When the priest PASHHUR son of Immer, the chief officer in the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin at the Lord's temple. The next day, when Pashhur released him from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord's name for you is not Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib. (Jer 20:1-3)
"Send this message to all the exiles: 'This is what the LORD says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because SHEMAIAH has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has led you to believe a lie, (Jer 29:31)Those enemies of the truth were VOCAL AND AGGRESSIVE against the saints and God's eternal truth. YOUR SPECIAL ENEMY HAS A DIFFERENT NAME, but it's essentially the same devilish goal - to oppose anything related to God's will.
REMAIN FAITHFUL TO GOD DESPITE THE TROUBLE. You are battling for ETERNITY.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. (1 Pet 4:12)
Endure hardship, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. (2 Tim. 2:3)

Remember this about the FEAR OF MAN and the WICKED:
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. (Prov 29:25)
A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE WICKED WILL BE NO MORE; THOUGH YOU LOOK FOR THEM, THEY WILL NOT BE FOUND. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace. (Psa 37:10,11).
for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation
of your SOULS. (1 Pet 1:9)...Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col 1:27)
Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the LORD will make their scalps bald." In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, the earrings and bracelets and veils, the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the signet rings and NOSE RINGS, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. (Isa 3:17-23)

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not DRIFT AWAY. (Heb 2:1)
Then Jesus told them, "THIS VERY NIGHT YOU WILL ALL FALL AWAY ON ACCOUNT OF ME, for it is written: "'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' (Mat 26:31)

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, MOST OF WHOM ARE STILL LIVING, THOUGH SOME HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP. (1 Cor 15:6)**The MAJORITY of the 500+ Christians who saw the resurrected Jesus were still alive when Paul wrote that epistle. Furthermore, that epistle (1 Corinthians) was written AFTER the event of Acts 18:1-11, but still written early. That in turn shows the Gospel of Luke had already been written down - AGAIN EARLY - NOT LATE:
In my former book [the Gospel of Luke], Theophilus [Luke 1:3], I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. (Acts 1:1,2)

...Christ died for the ungodly. (Rom 5:6)Also, it is the ungodly (or wicked) people who go to eternal fire (Mt. 13:41,42; etc.). HENCE, WE MUST INDIVIDUALLY MAKE JESUS OUR OWN PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD TO BENEFIT BY WHAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DID and we must CONTINUE IN HIM TILL THE END TO ENTER PARADISE. That is not automatic, like some teach. Jesus preached "Repent or perish." The other apostles also delivered the same message.

I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwelling places not their own. They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor. Their HORSES are SWIFTER than leopards, FIERCER than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like a vulture swooping to devour; (Hab 1:6-8)
Joshua and Caleb had the fearless, faith-in-God winning attitude despite the following, seemingly-impossible disadvantage, which discouraged their fellow Israelites - GIANTS.
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them. (Num. 13:33)David, likewise, was fearless and unmoved by the giant size of Goliath, and he responded accordingly:
Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Sam. 17:26)

"Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. (Exo 31:13) "'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. (Exo 31:14) For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. WHOEVER DOES ANY WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY MUST BE PUT TO DEATH. (Exo 31:15) The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. (Exo 31:16) It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever , for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.'" (Exo 31:17)Verses 14 and 15 (stoning to death sabbath breakers) is NOT practiced by the Saturday Sabbatarians. They love that whole passage, but VIOLATE it in reality. ***NOTE: The Sabbath command was given strictly for the Israelites, as shown there and here too:
While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. (Num 15:32-36)
"On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil. This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering" (Num. 28:9,10).

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! (1 Cor 10:12)
Do not be IDOLATERS, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry." We should not commit SEXUAL IMMORALITY , as some of them did--and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test the Lord, as some of them did--and were killed by snakes. And do not GRUMBLE , as some of them did--and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. SO, IF YOU THINK YOU ARE STANDING FIRM, BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T FALL! (1 Cor 10:7-12)BTW, the golden calf incident referenced in the foregoing passage was a one-time event (a one-time sin), not a practice of sin.
The danger of such an OSAS attitude of spiritual arrogance is further exemplified (and warned against) in Romans 11:
...Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. DO NOT BE ARROGANT, BUT BE AFRAID. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. OTHERWISE, YOU ALSO WILL BE CUT OFF. (Rom. 11:20-22)
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. (Eph 5:5-7)There absolutely is NO eternal security.

...we wait for the blessed hope--the GLORIOUS APPEARING of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:13)
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. And he will send his angels with a LOUD trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. (Mat 24:30,31)
For AS LIGHTNING THAT COMES FROM THE EAST IS VISIBLE even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Mat 24:27)
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he COMES IN HIS GLORY AND IN THE GLORY OF THE FATHER AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS. (Luke 9:26)
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by THE SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING . (2 Thess. 2:8)** The Greek term epiphaneia, found in 2 Thess. 2:8 and also in Titus 2:13, means: BRIGHTNESS, and it comes from the word meaning CONSPICUOUS and NOTABLE, thus disproving a 'secret' return of Christ.
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, EVEN THOSE WHO PIERCED HIM; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. (Rev 1:7)In summary, Jesus' return will be:

He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." (Mark 10:11,12)
For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man. (Rom 7:2,3)
