“Your Majesty,” said the magicians, sorcerers and wisemen, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego do not worship the golden statue you have set up in the plain of Dura.”
King Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage.
He ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought immediately before him.
The King bellowed, “Is this true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that when you heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the trigon and drum and all the musical instruments, you did not fall down and worship the golden statue I have set up in the plain of Dura? Listen to me! When you hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the trigon and drum and all the musical instruments, if you do not fall down and worship the golden statue I have set up in the plain of Dura, you shall be thrown into the fiery furnace! Who do you think can save you?”
I always loved the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They lived after being thrown into a fiery furnace.
