Contents: Pride of Nebuchadnezzar and his punishment. The image of gold. The three Jews refuse to worship the image. Fiery furnace proven harmless. The king convinced.

Conclusion: We should obey the powers that be until they tell us to disobey and dishonor God (Romans 13:1), then we should obey God rather than man (Acts 5:29). If we are called to pass through the fire, Christ walked there before us, and will walk there with us (John 15:20), and nothing will be lost by being true to Him.

Key Word: Deliver, Daniel 3:17; Daniel 3:28.

Strong Verses: Daniel 3:17; Daniel 3:28.

Striking Facts: Daniel 3:25. Many think this was the eternal Son of God, not a created angel. Hereby Christ shows that what is done against His people He takes as done against Himself. Whoever throws them into the furnace do in effect throw Him in (Isaiah 63:9). Those who suffer for Him are therefore assured of His precious presence with them.
