Wednesday, October 29, 2025Daniel 3:24-30 “God’s Deliverance”
Description
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had refused to bow and worship the image the King had constructed and rejected the king’s unexpected “second chance” to obey. In fury, the King orders them to be thrown into the fiery furnace. In the face of their likely death, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego understood the real issue behind their “deliverance” was God’s purpose, not God’s power. In today’s verses, the purpose of God was made plain as He delivered them from the flames! The 4th one in the furnace (either pre-incarnate Christ or an angel) made it so they were not harmed, their hair not singed, their cloths not burnt, and the smell of smoke gone as well. The King now makes it a capital offense to speak against the God of the Jews and elevated the 3 Jews into even higher positions of power.
