furnace

of

fire

say

as

they

praise

God

,

“

Bless

,

ye

heavens

,

the

Lord

;

praise

and

exalt

Him

for

ever

;

”

then

,

“

Bless

,

ye

angels

,

the

Lord

;

”

then

,

“

Bless

the

Lord

,

all

ye

waters

that

are

above

heaven

.

”

So

the

Scriptures

assign

the

heavens

and

the

waters

to

the

class

of

pure

powers

as

is

shown

in

Genesis

.

Suitably

,

then

,

inasmuch

as

“

power

”

is

used

with

a

variety

of

meaning

,

Daniel

adds

,

“

Let

every

power

bless

the

Lord

;

”

then

,

further

,

“

Bless

the

Lord

,

sun

and

moon

;

”

and

,

“

Bless

the

Lord

,

ye

stars

of

heaven

.

Bless

the

Lord

,

all

ye

that

worship

Him

;

praise

and

confess

the

God

of

gods

,

for

His

mercy

is

for

ever

.

”

It

is

written

in

Daniel

,

on

the

occasion

of

the

three

children

praising

in

the

furnace

.
