Summary

In Daniel, chapter 3 we find the story of King Nebuchadnezzar. The king had made a golden image for his people to worship instead of God. Now at the time, all the people of the land fell down and worshipped and bid the king live forever. Why would they do this? Well, just like many of us today, they were probably frightened by the king’s authority. (However, if you skip over to Matthew 10:28, we’re reassured not to fear someone who only has the ability to kill the body, but to fear him which is able to kill both body & soul.) Now when the King learned that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego wouldn’t bow down, he gave these boys an ultimatum: kneel and worship or else he would throw them into the fiery furnace. He wanted them to know that HE was the only one that could save them from their fate. But they respectfully declined saying that God would deliver them out. And in verse 18 they add "But if not, be it known here, O King that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” So they knew it could be a death sentence but they stuck with their faith in the Lord to deliver them. The 3 boys went into the fire and when the king’s men looked in, 4 MEN were walking around, unfazed by the flames. If you haven’t read it, or if you haven’t read it in a while, I urge you to go to Daniel Chapter 3 and give it a good read.
