FAITH IN GOD
The command to
worship king Nebuchadnezzar’s image. (Dan 3:1-7): king Nebuchadnezzar made
an image of gold and called all his officials to come for the dedication of the
image. He gave an order that as soon as they hear the sound of the trumpet,
they should all bow to the image; whosoever fails to bow was to be thrown into
a fiery furnace.
Refusal of shadrack,
Meshack and Abednego to worship the king’s image: In spite of this threat,
the three Hebrew youth: Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego refused to bow.
Punishment for the
refusal and God’s deliverance They were reported to the king who ordered
that they be bound and thrown into the fiery furnace. While they were in the
furnace, God protected them from being burnt. They were walking freely in the
fire, and with them, Nebuchadnezzar saw a fourth man who looked like the son of
God. So, he called them out.
Effects of their
faith and courage on the people i.e. Babylonians and the Jews. This
marvelous salvation of God made Nebuchadnezzar to proclaim the God of the
Hebrews as the God to be worshipped. He therefore promoted the Hebrew youths.
