Fiery Furnace

Daniel 3:1-30

There once was a King named Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar he thought he was so great that he had a big gold statue made of him and put it in the middle of Babylon for everyone to see.

He made an order that every person in his kingdom had to bow down and worship the idol as soon as they hear the music play.

But there were these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who loved God very much. They refused to worship the golden statue of King Nebuchadnezzar. They only worshipped the true God.

When King Nebuchadnezzar heard about what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego he got really mad. He ordered them to be thrown into the fiery furnace. After awhile the King looked in the furnace and noticed that there were 4 men in the fire and they were still alive!

When the King saw they were still alive he called to them from the door. “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire for everyone to see that they were not hurt. God had taken care of them. King Nebuchadnezzar sent out a message to all his land that if anything bad was said against God they would be in trouble.
