Loyalty Rewarded Daniel 3:19-30 It is only when we reach the fire that we become aware of the presence of the divine Companion, walking beside us as if treading the dew-besprinkled glades of Paradise. The Good Shepherd was there with His rod and staff. Loose , Daniel 3:25 , that is, the fire had consumed their bonds and nothing else. Hair would soonest catch the flame, but not a hair perished, Luke 12:7 ; Luke 21:18 . The yielded body of Daniel 3:28 reminds us of Romans 6:13 ; Romans 12:1-2... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 3:1-30

The next story is of the pride of Nebuchadnezzar in setting up in the plain of Dura a great golden image. This may have been connected with the interpretation of the dream Daniel had given. The head of gold in the image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream symbolized Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar's image was all of gold, and perhaps revealed his conception of the power of Babylon, and therefore was of the nature either of unbelief in the accuracy of the prediction or of rebellion against it. To this image he... read more

Nebuchadnezzar's Image of Gold Daniel 3:1-30 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Daniel in Babylon. (1) How Daniel came to be in Babylon. When Jerusalem was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel and the three Hebrew children were among those carried to Babylon. He found himself, with his three friends, chosen to be set aside for training, that they might be numbered among the Babylonian wise men. (2) How Daniel stood true as a youth. Daniel and his three friends did not yield to the orders of the king as... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 3:25

COMMUNION IN THE FURNACE‘And the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.’ Daniel 3:25 I. What an unexpected greeting must this have been to the three children!—What a joyful surprise! What a marvellous place to meet and hold communion with Jesus—the midst of a burning fiery furnace, heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated! That He should join the two disciples in their evening walk to Emmaus seems more reasonable, but who could dream that He would reveal Himself here?... read more

‘Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and he rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counsellors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the heart of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” He answered and said, “Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the heart of the fire, and they have no injury, and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” ’ It is indicative of the king’s fury that he had not just been satisfied with the execution being carried out.... read more

Daniel 3. The Golden Image and the Fiery Furnace.— Nebuchadnezzar made a colossal image of gold and commanded the people to worship it. The three friends of Daniel refused to comply with the order. The king thereupon had them thrown into a burning fiery furnace “ heated seven times hotter” than usual. But the fire had no power to consume them, and there appeared walking by the side of the three men in the midst of the furnace a fourth whose aspect was like “ a son of the gods.” The message of... read more

I see; the fire gave light to see them, though it had no power of heat to burn them. Like the Son of God; a Divine, most beautiful, and glorious countenance; either of a mere angel, or rather of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the covenant, who did sometimes appear in the Old Testament before his incarnation, Genesis 12:7; Genesis 18:10,Genesis 18:13,Genesis 18:17,Genesis 18:20; Exodus 23:23; Exodus 33:2; Joshua 5:13-15; Proverbs 8:31; in all which places it is Jehovah; Genesis 19:24; Exodus 3:2;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 3:8-27

HOMILETICSSECT. XIII.—THE FIERY FURNACE (Chap. Daniel 3:8-27)God has never left Himself without a witness. An Enoch and a Noah found on the eve of the Flood; an Abraham in Chaldea, and a Lot in Sodom. While the multitude were falling prostrate before the golden image, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in their closet on their knees. Where was Daniel? Probably now, as often, at some distance from the court. Wherever he is, he is worshipping the God of heaven. If at hand, like his three... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:1-30

Daniel 3:0 I. We have here a specimen of religious intolerance. II. We see here how religious intolerance is to be met. These three young men simply refused to do what Nebuchadnezzar commanded, or, in modern phrase, they met his injunctions with "passive resistance." III. We have here an illustration of the support which Jesus gives to His followers when they are called to suffer for His sake. IV. We see here that in the matter of religious intolerance, as well as in some other things, the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:24-25

Daniel 3:24-25 There are two aspects of life: one, the common, the ordinary, the prosaic aspect; and the other, the Divine, the glorified, the Christian aspect; and that which alone can give you this second aspect of life is the presence of the Son of God. I. It is a very remarkable thing that in this Book of the Prophet Daniel, the fourth and last of the four great prophets, we have such an extraordinary foretaste of the coming Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have here the expression and it is the... read more
