King Nebuchadnezzar made a huge gold idol. It was 90 feet tall and 9 feet
wide. The king told the people, "When you hear the music play, everyone must
bow down to the idol. If you don't bow down, you will be thrown into a blazing
furnace." The people of Israel had been taken captive and some of them were
now living in the land of Babylon. Among them were three young men who had
become leaders in the land of Babylon. They were Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego. These three young men believed in and worshiped the true God, and
they would not bow down to an idol. They said, "Our God will deliver us from
the burning fiery furnace, and even if He doesn't deliver us, O king, we will
not serve your gods, nor will we worship the golden image which you have set
up." What bravery! The king had the furnace heated 7 times hotter than usual.
He had the men tied up and thrown into the furnace. The fire was so hot, it
killed the men who threw them in. When the king looked into the fire, he was
amazed. The men were untied, walking around, and there was a fourth person in
the fire with them! He said, "Didn't we throw three men in the fire? I see
four men loose, walking around, and they are not hurt." The fourth person
looked like a heavenly being . The king called their names and ordered them to
come out of the fire. When they came out, they were not hurt at all. Their
hair had not been burned, and they didn't even smell like smoke. The king made a law that everyone should honor the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego because no other God could deliver like he could.
